ELMER RICE'S
PLAY NOW
A TALKIE

No other stage play ever trans
ferred to the screen has lent
itself SO well y to motion picture
technique as "on Trial." the
sensational success which has
just been completed by Warner
Bros. as an all.talking Vitaphone
production and Is now being pre-.
scented at Crandall's Metropoli-
tan.
When "on Trial" was first pro-
dueed in New York by George NJ.
Cohan and Sam Harris It was
hailed as q distinct innovation in
the theater, utilizing az It did
the familiar ''cut-back'' Of the
motion picture. For the first
time in the history Of the stage,
q character started to describe
some happening and the next
instant the incident was being
enacted before the eyes Of the
audience. A tiny period Of dark.
ness. and an almost instantaneous
change Of scene, took the place
Of the time.honored ''fad0 out"
and fade In" Of the screen.
When Robert Lord was called
upon to write the motion picture
version Of Elmer Rice's famous
play, he found that in it's essen
tial points there need be no
alteration whatever In the method
Of telling the story. The screen
made possible q wider diversity Of
scene, and q more convincing
dovetailing Of the incidents Of the
story. but the play had already
been founded on the accepted
motion picture method.

gorgeous operetta, "Ths Three
Musketeers," win be the attrac-

the week beginning Monday

from Philadelphia ana almost
direct from the 40 weeks record

Theater. New York city. to play

at the National Theater that the
first performance was given on
February u, 1873.
Il returns with the original
New York cast practically COM
plete-but one or two minor
changes having been made.
Furthermore, it win now be
shown here as a flawless per-
formance, for the rough edges
always noticeable on an opening
week have, long ago. been all
ironed out.
The marvellous Rudolf E,riml
music. the gorgeous settings Of
Joseph Urban, the beautiful
costumes Of Harlrfder, the rayish-
ing Albertina Rasch ballet to-
gether with one OF the finest
acting and singing casts ever
welded together. all tend to make
this operetta one Of the Ziegfeld
masterpieces. For exactly az
weeks, 1.-THE Three Musketeers"
ran neck and neck with 'Rosalie"
and "Show Boat" In New York
for highest Ziegfeld honors.
The cast Is one Of the most
brilliant ever assembled for q
Ziegfeld production and many
Washington favorites are assured
o hearty welcome on the return.
Dennis King as D'Artagnan, the
fiery young Gascon always ready
for q feat at arms or q bout at
love, has already won . great
following in this city. Little

In the dimly lighted regions
Of back stage-the dressing room
Of a burlesque theater in the
hinterlands-you are introduced to
the romance OF "Skid," putty
nosed and baggy pantalooned COM
edian of the wheel show, and
Bonnie. his wife, a girl with an
ambition for this low comedy
mate, as boundless as her love.
When the call from Dillingham;
comes, It is Bonnie who cheerfully
produces the joint savings which
send "Skid" to Broadway for the
engagement destined to lift him
from small time obscurity to
bright light prosperity.
In moments that are riotously
gay and some that are pathetis
cally touching, you watch the
talented "Skid," freed from q
needed restraint, revel in the wine
and flesh pots that dissipate OPP
portunity. The discarded Bonnie's
warning-his sentence Is written
on the label Of every bottle Of
bootleg Scotch he consumes
comes true. Skid Is waved out
Of the big time and the finish sees
q nerve-wracked comic being
urged to carry on for q come
back, by the ever faithful Bonnie.
All Of this is told in language
that Is graphic and favored with
the argot Of performers. It has
been smoothly set down by Play
wrights Waters and Hopkins and
hits the ear with all the interest
and convincing reality Of an in.
side story from Variety pages.
Only at the finish, where the
scene injects musical numbers and
bits Of real burlesque for varis-
similitude does the play seem to
ramble from the path Of genuine
dramatic narrative to q weakly
contrived final curtain.
Hal Skelly moves through these
three acts as though he were liv-
ing chapters in the career Of. the
pitiful1y weak but appealing
"Sl1id." His lines glisten with the
bandiage OF the Split.week hoofer
and the glib wise-cracker.
You may be grateful to Mr..
Skelly that "Skid" is adept in
either soft shoe or eccentric step
ping and at the right moment in
a whoopee party can. inject an
imitation Of Ted Lewis singing
"Just Around the Corner" gem
Of mimicry. And there is SYM
pathy for the drunken, half
crazed comedian shouting the we'd
ding march ana suddenly realiz.
ing he loves the Bonnie he is los
ing. A perfect example OF an
actor fitting the role and the role
fitting the actor.
Tremendously effective, too, is
the Bonnie Of Laura Hamilton.
1t was the good fortune Of this
reviewer to see Barbara STAN
wyck originate this role, and, in
the interest OF historical truth,
should hesitate before awarding
the laurel. Bonnie Is chuck full
OF throbbing appeal and the fac.
ulty OF making the audience suf-
fer with her. Charles d. Brown,
Ralph Theadore, Paul Porter,
Oscar Levant and Dorothy Declue
played the ether important roles
with distinction.
Burns Mantle recognized 'sBur-
lesque" in his nominations for
the ten best plays Of 1S37-2S.
On the ardour Of its reception
at Polls Monday night, it may
be said Washington was glad to
second the nomination.

TREATY BATTLE
CALLING To
COOLIDGE

ABOARD THE PRESIDENTIAL
SPECIAL EN- ROUTE TO WASH.
INGTON, Jan. 2 U.N.S).-A re-
assembling Congress was calling
President Coolidge back to Washing
ton today. For the past week he
and Mrs. Coolidge have been vaca-
tion!ng on the island chain off the
south coast Of Georgia.
Political trading as a result Of
the twin fight over ratification of
the Kellogg antiwar treaty and
passage of the big navy" bill has
made the President desirous to get
back to the Capitol and direct the
Administration forces in person. His
special train is due at Washington
shortly before o'clock today.
Watches Fight
Coolidge has kept in touch with
the situation through the press.
There have been reports that action
on the bill authorizing is new
cruisers is to be put off this ses-
sion as magnificent gesture" to-
accompany ratification of the multi
lateral peace pact. Whether this
meets with the Presidents approval
could not be ascertained during the
period he was on Sapelo Island as
the guest Of Howard e. Coffin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge spent the
past seven days in an almost trop.
ical setting. Spring-like weather
and bright sunshine prevailed the
entire time.
Bags Much Game
The President spent most Of his
time hunting, and, according to re-
ports to the newspaper men, met
with better than the usual success
of a novice. Only deer escaped him
OF the numerous types Of game
overrunning the islands, and his
bag was said to have included pleas
ant, quail and wild turkey.
