 Cannot Have Revolver Again
 Attorney Gaffney contended that the state had not proven . case. The woman was in nervous condition because Of the nuisance which she is living beside. he said. MT. Green stein replied that the purpose of the state in bringing the prosecution was not to exact penalty or a jail sen- tence, but Mrs. Rackliffe was not the type of person who should have revolver. She could not remedy conditions which she complained of by carrying a revolver.
 Judge Traceski said the facts did not warrant . finding Of guilty. Mrs. RackliAfe had a revolver with the knowledge of the chief of police. and the disturbance between her and the milk company seemed to be something for the civil court to handle. Mrs. Rackliffe should be careful. he said. about handling firearms.
 After court Chief Hart said the revolver would not be given back to Mrs. Rackliffe.

Great Pianist Goes in for Quiet
Charm and P0zCerJuI Technique

Chopin group watch included Bar
carolle," which is always an audi
ence favorite in the hands Of Rach-
maninoff; "Valse" and "Ballade."
Never have discovered such a
desire on the part OF Rachmaninoff
for such quiet charm. There was
little of the hard and harsh under
tones, but the great artistry Of the
man seemed to blend every tone
picture into a soothing and melodi-
Gus tapestry.
Probably certain quiet has come
into the life of this man at this
time and he seems to desire to Gre
ate a restful mood of melody. He
can excite you with his perfect tech
nique just as he has done In the past
but you now find that great element
of charm, soothing charm, in his
programs at this time.
He played his entire program
without any encoreS until he had
gnished his stated groups. Then
he acknowledged the marvellous
ovation and played many encores.
He had very large audience, not
so far from capacity. Never has
he had an audience that was more
enthusiastic.
The audience seemed to think OF
him in the terms of the master,
respecting the mood of the master
as reflected by the artist,
Rachnaninoff was presented at
the Murat yesterday by Henry K.
Burton.

the waiting class into the proprietor
of his own saloon in the old days.
His wife, ZaSu Pitts, is sickly
woman but devoted to papa and her
two children.
She slaves in the barroom, even
scrubbing the floors while papa
worried over the diet of his only
son. Papa thinks he has singing
voice and he sings in a German
opera in a beer garden. His singing
IS something awful, it has to be for
comedy purposes but the old man
thinks he is a great German singer.
He is made to believe that by a
very bad gal, played by Ruth Chat
teron in a flaming Sadie Thompson
manner but this gal never tries to
reform. She wrecks papa, then
marries him when his first wife
passes on to her final rest and
then breaks up his home by driving
out the daughter.
The old man becomes a bootleg
ger on big scale and, of course,
is caught when his men turn out
a batch of poisoned hooch.
TIL flaming cat of a wife beats it
with the money and papa goes to
prison. Before this happens his
own son drinks some of the poisoned
hooch and goes completely blind
for the rest of his life.
The meeting between father and
son after the old mans release
from prison is mighty sentimental
scene, but splendidly put over by
Jannings. It's the tear producing
brand of sentimental hooey, but it
works under the magic touch of
Jannings' artistry.
I think that you will agree with
me that this story does not deserve
the expert treatment of Jannings.
He has done, in my opinion, much
greater characterizations than his
latest.
Jannings dominates the entire
story. Without Jannings, this one
would be less than a regulation
movie. but with the star there, it
becomes commanding although it is
easy to see that it has very little
logic.
Was interested in the work of
Miss Chatterton who is very fine
actress on the stage. Neither does
Miss Chatterton or Jannings talk.
Personally, 1 would not care to see
this man in a talker. I believe that
he would lose to some extent his
marvellous ability to create a COM
plete human Characterization.
OF course, do not ask you to
agree with my verdict on "Sins of
the Fathers" Like it, love it, and
rave over it if you desire, but I
can't do it. There is great acting
in poorly conceived story.
Dessa Byrd has an interesting
and funny organ solo. Harris and
Howe and the Happiness Boys make
up the movie vaudeville.

the trail of Jimmy, easily gives him
the chance to walk away with the
picture the second he starts talking.
AS you know, william Haines is
Jimmy Valentine, and there could
be no better selection, as Haines
knows the spirit of Jimmy. 1t is
easy for Haires to lay such char
acters, as he has that ightness of
touch which makes even crook
character lovable.
Barrymore and Raires have a
great talking scene after the de-
tective follwS Jimmy to a small
town where Jimmy had landed a
position in the bank. Jimmy was
going straight, because he was in
love when the detective arrived.
The detective never forgot that
Jimmy was the guy who he always
suspicioned for staging some mighty
clever and daring robberies. It is in
this talking scene that Barrymore
has an opportunity to do some of his
most effective character work that
he has given the screen.
Barrymore makes this detective a
living character not a shadow, but
a definite personality. His voice
records perfectly. This man knows
how to talk as well as act and even
in such remarkable company Haines
shows up in great style.
Here is one of the smartest and
best acted and talked scenes that
we have had for many months.
And just before this scene is over
the little daughter of the banker
becomes locked up in a new vault.
It is then that Jimmy forgets
himself, goes to the vault and
cracks it, this time to save a hui

BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

There was a certain quiet charm
to the Rachmaninoff recital at the
Murat yesterday afternoon that
some Of his previous concerts here
have lacked.
The great -pianist's program
seemed to reflect the quiet and
meditative mood. He seemed to aim
at great melodious beauty expressed
by his faultless technique.
Rachmaninoff started his quiet
mood with Mozart's Sonata No. IA"
and the piano became more definite
when his second group included two
of Scarlatti's sonatas.
In the sonata, we again became
acquainted with that definite broad
tone that this man can create. AS
we all know Rachmaninoff is not
q sensationalist. He has fixed
expression and by looking at him,
one could not determine the mood
he is trying to create. His piano
alone reflects the mood.
Then in Schumann'S Carnival"
we had the strong definite tone pic
lures only to give way to that quiet,
sort of personal charm that Rach-
mammoth seems to love to create at
this time.
In the Schumann part of his pro-
gram there was plenty of technical
fireworks, but he seemed to caress
the more quiet passages with a
charm that brought new and greater
applause for the artist.
The audience caught the spirit of
the program starting with Mozart
and terminating with Kreisler-
Rachmaninoff's "Liebesfreud." Even
the title of this composition seemed
to reflect the mood of the pianist.
But charm as well as technical
nerfection was layished all over the
