mess. but also presents the happy
ending.
The second act of The Thief"
is a real test for the leads. 1t
seemed that the play gathered
force and intense realism because
Edith King and Roger Pryer last
night met its eXacting demands
beautifully equipped. To begin
with it is a superb piece of
dramatic writing. Husband and
wife from complete calm ami
understanding evolve into a
accusation, denial and then open,
pitiable confession. The greater
burden of these varied emotions
fell upon the negligeed shoulders
of Miss King and those who have
cherished lingering doubts as to
her ability to encompass great
role can no longer withhold the
bay leaves. She meets fully every
term of severe challenge for an
actress. Mr.. Pryor upheld his
part nobly in a well-directed scene
that progressed TO tense and
commanding climax.
The supporting cast is meri.
tolious indeed. Edward Arnold
received a cordial welcome back
and fitted snugly into the role
OF Mons. Zambau!t, master detec-
tive. Charles Hampden gave con-
Nincing dignity to Mons. Lasardes;
Freddy sherman Iimned the un-
happy Fernand effectively and
Helen Wallace graced the scene
T
Brister appeared only long enough
to take bow. He is Henri, the
butler, and meekly servile.
You may gather l liked this
play. I did. I commend it un-
reservedly. You will never wit
ness a better stock production,
measured by any standard, nor
players breathing life into more
ma jestic drama of another day.

Fox will beat rival producers
to the projection booths with his
Movietone Follies. Hence the
announcement that the local Fox
Theater will play the Movietone
Follies, day and date with the
Roxy Theater in New York,
May 25.
The Movietone Follies enlists
Clark and Mccullough, Lois
Moran, David Rollins, Sue Carol
and a host of minor stars from
among the Fox contract players.
It arrives heralded as a produc-
ton which pursues precisely the
same type of revue formula as
that provided by Mr. Ziegfeld,
George White and others of
eminence in the girl and music
show exploitation. Oodles of
girls, plenty of dancing, much
singing, great spectacle and
truck load of laughs are listed
as the component ingredients for
90 minutes of screen entertain
ment.
The fact that the M-G-M
revue. the Paramount produc-
ton of Clarifying the American
Girl, and other screen musical
comedies are on the verge of
release probably hastened the
decision to he first on the
market with the new type of
musical. Mr.. Ziegfeld is still
fuming over use of that "Fol-
lies" title. But what's TO be
done about it.
