Theater. Splendid as Farrell's char
acterization of the backwoods boy is,
however the heights of absurdity
which the story at times attains plays
havoc with his work.
THE River" is one of those poorly
directed pictures that work up to a
climax which draws derisive laughter
from the spectators when they should
be sitting on the edges of their chairs.
Such was the case when the person
able Mary Duncan attempted to revive
her frozen lover with the warmth OF
her own body. Miss Duncan and Far
rell, however, despite the mediocrity
of their material, are at times highly
entertaining and their playing can only
reflect credit on their abilities.
Allen John Fender, the youth from
the backwoods, and the highly sophis-
ticated Rosalee MARY Duncan) meet
in construction camp or the river.
This is the first woman Allen John
has met, but he knows all about them
from books. Before it is all over, how
ever, ne learns that, while books may
be all right for general purposes, their
help is negligible in specific instances.
Or it may be that the man who wrote
the books was not acquainted With

spot of the picture and worth seeing.

Patti Spear, the prima donna of the

the way, almost has a plot), is received
enthusiastically in her trio of solo num-
berS, with some excellent choral har-
mony from the ensemble. She is sup

Miss Spear is petite, pretty and has a
ripping grace of movement-which, in
deed, is characteristic of the entire en-
semble of dainty dancing girls in the
Chester Hale group.
An amazing adagio dance, involving a
trio instead of the usual duet, adds
another note of grace to the program,
while George Taps proves to be a
tap dancer par excellence. All in all,
this initial appearance of the LoeW
stages units in the Capital promises
many delightful things for local thea
tergoers who anticipate the hour behind
the footliehts as keenIy as the hour
with the screen stars when they go
"a-movieing."
1.-THE Locked Door, adapted from
Charming Pollock's play, THE Sign on
the Door," is by no means dull or unin-
teresting. Thanks chiefly to the able
direction of George FitZmaurice and
the high-power acting on the part OF
the principals, it moves along rapidly
and holds the attention. But nothing
can completely conceal from view the
obvious flaws in the plot. The author
apparently didn't bother his head much

traditional compulsion. Laura Hope
Crews and Mary Nolan are also impor-
tant members of the cast.
The picture depends largely upon its
dialogue to be entertaining, in addition
to the excellence of its stage cast. In
this respect it serves to prove the eff
cheney of the talkies as a medium Of
entertainment, just as THE Virginian"
served to prove the effectiveness OF
sound in an all, or almost all, outdoor
picture.

enough at variance with its predecessors
of the same type.
Eric Won Stroheim is '"The Great
