watching and listening to her first
photoplay; it must have pleased her
immensely: she has definite quality of
na1vete despite four marriages cit is
four, isn't it?), and it glows through
her work on the screen as it does on the
stage, most pleasantly.
Yet, there Is more to her portrayal in
MY Man" than merely the nut stuff
and broad gaucherie which have popu-
lar1zed her on the legitimate. 1t is a
spirit of pathos which rings very true,
and not without its subtlety. For one
thing, 1t is not forced. One can say
that she never overplays a situation.
1t is the ultimate test of good taste, and
so few can meet it. The look of
stricken. dull hurt on her face when
she f1ndS her man clinging to her own
treacherous little sister with unmistak-
able ardor the night before their we'd
ming Is not a matter of facial gymnas-
tics to imply grief in the better-known
Hollywood manner. 1t is grief, just as
her later fury when she turns this sis
ter from her home is unmasked and I'M
Sentimentalized fury. The climactiC
scenes when "a broken heart sings
bravely through tears" are typical movie
stuff, but they are in the story and
must be done. Miss Brice does them
and does them well.
The Vitaphone recording is, as far as
clarity and exact Synchronization are
concerned, splendid. The spoken dia-
logue Is, in several instances, much too
loud; gross discrepancy is noticeable
when Miss Brice, supposedly singing I'M
accompanied for her co-workerS in the
costume sewing room, or, in later scenes,
with single piano or piano and violin,
has actually full orchestra to accom-
pany her. OF course this heightens the
effect, but it is scarcely literal. The
sound-recording of the Brice song style
is excellent; not an infection is lost.
Her skit, Mrs. Cohen at the Beach," is
highly effective, and won Sundays au-
diences completely.
Gwynn Williams. playing Joe opposite
Miss Brice, is Stiff1sh young man and
the talking sequences (the film is about
$3.50 dialogue and SILENT add nothing
to his laureds. Edna Murphy plays the
harsh little sister.
Fannie Brice is enough to recommend
this picture to your attention; she is far
from being simply comedienne; in her
observation-disclosures before the lens in
the positive projection of personality
above and beyond the savoir faire which
one might expect of her stage back
ground, she comes startlingly close to
being dramatic actress of impressive
stature.

SHUBERT-B ELASCO-"No, No,
Nanette."


Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfield, shin
ing lights of the musical comedy world,
have come to Washington and Joined
Charles Emerson Cooks Savoyans in a
presentation of mo, No, Nanette," COM
parable to any road show. It seems
that the addition of these two clever
and altogether delightful performers
was all the Savoy company needed to
insure 1t another substantial stretch in
its marathon engagement at the Shu-
bert-BelaSco. Bringing q new breath
OF life, new stage tricks and, above all,
their own winning ways to the local
cast, these guest artists have made a
surprising improvement in an organiza-
ton whiche had already scored heavily
with the theater-going public.
Miss Mayfield is an old friend of
Washington audiences. Her pleasing
personality and drawing voice were
never displayed to better advantage
than in the opening performance last
night. She was stunning in the last act
and drew well merited encores with her
song, Where Has My Hubby Gone
Blues"
Mr.. Lean as Jimmy Smith teamed up
well with Robert Capron in the princi-
pay fun-making roles. Little Virginia
Marvin, in the role of Nanette, displayed
unusual skill as a dancer and singer
She was charming in the song Tea
for Two" Frank Gallagher as Tom
Trainor, Nanette's lover, gave an i'm
presSive performance. Others who
came in for a share in the applause
were Beatrice Lee as Pauline, maid:
Renee Hamilton, Thelma Parker and
Gladys Huntington, the three light o.
loves of the philandering Smith.
New scenery and costumes add mate
rally to the presentation, and the or
chestra does its bit to produce a good
evenings entertainment.

More Orderly.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, November GA steady
stream of liquidation poured into the
stock market today and prices rapidly
melted away with no sign of q rally
as the market entered the last half
hour of the abbreviated three-hour ses-
sion. Trading was fairly heavy in
volume, with the ticker running 40 min
utes behind the market at 1890 pm.
Business News.
Except for the publication of a dis
appointing weekly freight traffic report
for the week ended october 26, there
were no new development over the
election day holiday to account for the
renewal of selling pressure. Several in
creased and extra dividends were an
nounced during the day, and most of
the leading chain store systems showed
substantial increases in their october
sales reports made public today.
Call money renewed unchanged at
6 per cent, and the time money market
was dull, with 6 per cent the ruling rate
for all maturities.
The close checking-up Of accounts
over the week end apparently has dis
spots which were being cleaned out to-
day. Wall Street also believed that
some support stock bought last week
was being liquidated, and that there
was heavy selling by traders who
bought stocks at the opening Monday
in anticipation of a big rise that day
as result of widely published reports
that there had been huge accumula-
ton of buying orders over the week end.
Important Changes.
Auburn Auto broke 81 points and
more than two score other leading in
dustrials and rails sold down to rs
points. The largest declines were in
such issues as American Telephone,
U. S. Steel common, Allied Chemical,
American Tobacco issues, Westinghouse
Electric, Columbian Carbon, Air Reduc-
ton, General Electric, Burroughs Add
ing Machine, Dupont, j. I. Case. Atchi-
son, Union Pacific and American Ma
chine & Foundry. all of which lost 10
points or more.
