EARLE SHOWS
EXCELLENT
FEATURE

The Earle this week houses a
synchronized semi.talker which
goes by the title of His Captive
Woman" A picture with such
title might be a farce. a Wild
eyed melodrama or a straight
and serious dramatic offering. 1t
happens that the picture at the
Earle is good entertainment. but
1t doesn't fall in any one class.

favorite courtroom formula for a
start, and as It runs its early
course, switches into cutback
recital of a man and woman
on desert island.
The man is New York cop,
sent to the South Seas to bring
back to justice beautiful
murderess. Milton Sills is cast
as officer Mccarthy, "a straight

according to a subtitle.
He finds his quarry, Anna

starts back to civilization with
her The little trading schooner

Then begins a play of mixed
emotions, as Anna Bergen, away

in love with her at last, but
over them hangs the shadow of
Sing Sing. Both know it's their
duty to signal the first passing

And so. eventually, they go
back to New York. After hearing
McCarthy's story and the un.

OPERA ST ARS
I'm GLORIOUS
FAREWELL

Eclipsing her impressionable
nantuzza of "Cavalleria Rusti-
oana," Rosa Ponselle carried tie
unrivaled honors of "Aiia," when
she sang the title role of the
famous Verdi opera at Polls The
ater Saturday.
Thus did the Metropol Grand
Opera Company of New York
bring to brilliant conclusion its
series of presentations in this city
under the local management OF
Mrs. Wilson Greene.
Ponselle, undoubtedly the great
est soprano to grace the operate
stage, rose from magnificence to
undefinable glorification as the
musical tragedy pursued its ex-
uuisite way under. the direction OF
TuIlio Serafine, the renowned
Metropolitan conductor.
Giacomo Lauri- i-Volri, portrayii.g

star with Miss t'onselle. His voice
Of rare beauty blended well with
hers in their several duets and in
the ensembles. Their fine work
in the third 20. on the banks G.
the Nile, and in the death scene
of the last ct, will rem lin fndel-
hble in the memory of the inrap-
tured Audience.
Guisseppi Danise, whose indlspo'
sition on Thursday Aight was
disappointment to us all, carried
the role of AmonasrL with the Ca
cellence of a mellow baritone voice
and commendable histrionic ability.
To Marion Tilva, who sang
"Amneris," a stupendous ovation
was deservedly rendered. The
mezzo.snprano was in high Quality
of voice an enacted the part most
gracefully.
Louis D'Angelo sang the kings

RED RUSSIA IS
SHOW N IN
FEATURE

"Ten Days That Shook the
World" makes its Washington
screen premiere this week at
the Little Theater. The drama
depicts the stirring and bitter
times in Russia during the over
throw of the Kerensky govern
ment in 1917.
S. NJ. Eisenstein, under the
auspices of the Fine Arts Guild,
directs this remarkably photo
graphed portrayal of events in
the downfall of the provisional
government. Vast throngs of
Russians live again the tragic
days that real and historic
version OF the revolution may
be set down.
"Ten Days that Shook the
World" is CORY and horrible,
dealing with the struggles of
the Russian people during those
turbulent days. In this it is a
little different from "Potemkin,"
earlier Soviet film, directed by
Mr.. Eisenstein, which dealt more
with individual atrocities, while
this deals with the masses. A
remarkable feature of the epic
is the care and minuteness to
detail accorded accurate repro
ductions in the palace and in
the city of Petrograd.

DETECTIVE
STORY

This is the final week of THE
Canary Murder Case" at the Met
ropolitan and its start was auSpi-
cious enough to convince this pe-
viewer that the management has
made no mistake IN continuing
the vehicle over.
Based on one of Van Dimes
mysterious and thrilling mental
alterations. Philo Vance, played
by the inimitable William Powell,
carries the murder case through
to excellent conclusion. Vance is
a master criminologist with
tendency to solving the unsolv-
able. The unCanny Vance's
means of unravelling almost un-
belieVable mysteries is convincing
enough to show that Van Dine
himself knows considerable tbout
sleuthing.
The case" probably is one of
Van Dimes most delectahle
stories and certainly as an all.
talkie Paramount has not gone
amiss in it's perturbation. The
film could hardly have been done
successfully any other way.
There is pathos and power be-
hind every action, and pathetic
instances of hate and love con-
tribute toward a feeling that Van
Dine is natural enough to under
stand the many phases of life
which go to make up it's un-
bounding cloak of mystery.
The cast includes Louise
Brooks, James Hall, Ned Spa
and Louis John Bartels.

LOS ANGELES, May 2-The jun for lightweight boxing crown may be synthetic but it is worth it's weight in gold to Tod Morgan, its slight but fistically sturdy wearer.
 Morgan can look back over three busy years as ruler of the 130- pound division, and they were not financially fruitless ones, either. It has been estimated that the title holder, since he toppled the crown from Mike Ballerino's swarthy brow here in December, 1925, has reaped more than $175,000 from the ring.
 Morgan has held on to his earn ings more or less closely. Several bad investments took a share, but the remainder he has laid away for the future. He owns property at several places, including Fullerton,
