LITTLE THEATER-"Berlin, Symphony
of a Big City"
Something new In the way of feature
pictures comes to the Little Theater
today In Berlin, the Symphony of a
Big City," a German production that
brings a new Interpretation of the real
life and background of a modern
metropolis. The film was produced in
Germany by Europa Films.
Berlin, the Symphony of Big City
tells the story of the life of metropolis
during one day--how the city awakens,
goes to work, rests, plays and commits
crimes. All the manifold fascinating
angles of the spirit of metropolis are
said to be picturized. 1t Is claimed that
the shots OF the famous German capital
provide a better sightseeing tour than
a months actual stay there.
The idea of the picture was conceived
by Carl Mayer, who wrote the scenarios
for 1.-The Last Laugh" "Caligari," etc.
The direction was done by Walter Rutt-
man, the famous cinema artist OF
Munich, and the photography by Carl
Freund
Accompanying this feature is unique
biography entitled THE Life of Won
Hindenburg" This Is claimed to be a
colorful and interesting study of the
career of the great German general and
President, and the only authorized story
of his life. Many actual war scenes and
much priceless material on his political
career are said to be included. A COM
edy in which novel camera tricks are
used to provide the fun, and other
unusual short subjects are also included
on the bill

an actor rests on his work in the pic
ture over the HILL" has solved the
problem for himself by organizing a

FOX-"SunriSe."


Sunrise" the first picture which
F.. w. Murnau made for William Fo2
after coming to this country, is now
at the Fox Theater The picture COM
manded high attention in New York
where it played a long Broadway en-
gagement.
It brings back to the Fox screen the
artistry of Janet Gaynor, who has
been pronounced the greatest feminine
star of the Fox forces and who will be
remembered for her inspired perform
snces in Seventh Heaven" and street
Angel"
The other star is George O'Brien,
who has steadily risen in the esteem
of theater patrons. Other favorltes
of the screen world who will be seen
in important roles are Margaret Liv-
ington, Ralph Sipperly, Farrell, Mac
Donald, Jane Winton and Arthur
Houseman.
The story of Sunrise" concerns a
husband and a wife who are happy
in their humble surroundings until a
young woman from a neighboring city
comes to the fishing village. Her Gu
pidity is aroused by the modest prop
erty the husband has accumulated, and
she deliberately sets out to enSare
him. She has no regard for the wife,
nor for the man himself, and intends
to drop him as soon as she has OBJ
tanned the money. When she can
think of no better way to get rid of
the wife she has the husband to take
her out into the middle of the bay and
have the boat accidentally turn over. .
With this groundwork is developed
what critics have pronounced "a new
era in the art of motion pictures"
A symphonic Fox Movietone score
accompanies the picture. ..
The stage portion of the program,
''Dr Jazz" is described as an ''epi-
demic" of fun, with many stars. The
Fox orchestra and the Fox Movie
tone News are also on the bill.

PARAMOUNT has taken definite
stand on talking and silent motion
pictures with the announcement by
Jesse l.. Lasky that THE Four Feath-
ers,' which represents its makers most
pretentious work of the year, will be
released with sound effects and music

the announcement after viewlog the
production in rough-cut form in New
York and after comforting over the
distance telephone with B. P.
Schulberg, head Of Hollywood pro-
duction.
THE Four Feathers will be released in
its natural FORM" said Mr. Lasky. "Dia-
logue can augment the dramatic pas
sages of many subjects, but it certainly
cannot help, and it might impair, pro-
duction of such sweeping action and
emotion as this story. Talking would
have injured The Covered Wagon,
which picture is in the same category
as this tremendous drama of the Afri-
can wilderness. Therefore the charac-
tiers in The Four Feathers will not
talk AS the old saying goes actions

Paul Sloane, literally, two members
of the cast for Hearts in Dixie an
all-negro Fox-Movietone feature, be-
came so imbued with the idea of do
ing the marriage ceremony correctly
that they went out and got married in
earnest SO there would be no doubt in
their minds as to just how the knot
is tied.
Sloane told them all about the action
he expected TO film and what they
should say and advised them to get
letter perfect SO that they could make
the sequence few days later. AL
though they never had met until they
came to work in this production, they
decided they might as well get the real
lowdown on marriage, so journeyed
down to the Los Angeles marriage IL
cense bureau, kept their plan secret,
and when Sloane had finished his film
wedding revealed that they were bride
and groom-reai as well as reel.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"

Loew'S Columbia inaugurateS the new
year with the presentation of the Para
mount all-talkie production Interior
ence," starring William Powell, Give
Brook, Evelyn Brent and Doris Kenyon.
The picture was adapted from the stage
play, which had long run both here
and abroad. The voices of the four
stars mentioned are heard with en-
phatic diStinctness and with marvellous
dramatic appeal.
The story concerns a man who comes
back from the dead and is discovered
by an old f1ancee. She pleads to be
taken back, but it seems that the man
for once in his life is really in love
with his wife, whom he married before
going to war, where he was reported
killed in action. His wife had since
remarked. His cast-of love jealousy
seeks revenge by Matchmaking the wife,
but when he discovers his wife, who
has remarked, supremely happy, he re-
solves to make amends and does 1t in
a most unusual way.
The remainder of the program is also
all-talkie or sound and 1t includes the
famous Eddie Cantor and Ruth Etting
of ''Whoopee," the Fox Movietone News,
the M-G-M News and contributions by
the Columbia Orchestra, under Claude

| Florenz Ziegfeld's successful operetta,
THE Three Musketeers," with Dennis
King in the star role, returns next
week to the National Theater, the
scene of It's original production, after
as consecutive weeks on Broadway. It
comes with the original Washington
and New York cast intact, except for
two minor roles.
The seal of approval which local
theatergoers placed upon this glorious
operetta last Spring was Endorsed by
the lengthy New York run, where, for
weeks, it ran neck and neck with
Resale" and Show Boat for high
hcnors.
All the former favorites will be seen
in the important roles. Dennis King
is still the star, playing the role of
D'Artagnan, the gay young Gascon, ad-
venturer, duelist and lover. Lester
Allen, the diminutive comedian, is
Planchet. his valet. The prima donna
roles are in the hands Of Vivienne
Segal and Yvonne D'Arle, both popular
locally. Other principals include
Reginald Own as Cardinal Richelieu,
John Clark as the Duke of Bucking
ham, Harriet Hector, prima ballerina;
Joseph Macaulay, Douglass II. Dunn
brille and Detmer Poppen as the kings
guardsmen.
The unique art of Mfr. Ziegfeld
reaches peak Of brilliance in this
production, which he has often assert
ed is one of his special favorites. THE
Three Musketeers," of course, is
founded on that story of Dumas which
has thrilled men and women for years
with it's astonishing plot, its bravado,
its color, swift movement and humor.
All seats for the engagement will go
