Ted Lewis
Tops Show
at Lyric
is Everybody Happy?'
Starts Engagement
Today.

Us Everybody Happy? That is the
= ca5cnline which Ted Lewis, IA
nous negotiated t-a3edian OF
jazz" has used for many years in
his vaudeville act, and very appro-
priately. This is the title OF the
Vitaphcnc p.c.ure wh-ch marks his
screen debut under the auspices OF
Warner Brothers.
"Is Everybody Happy? is the
Christmas week screen attraction at
the Lyric and starts today.
But there comes a time in the
story when the question has a hol-
low ring, for the tale again demon
strates the truth OF the saying that
"the path of true love neveK did
run smooth" whether the affection
be filial or the more romantic va
riety between man and maid.
rs Everybody Happy? not only
presents this magnetic artist in the
rendition Of songs in q manner that
is peculiarly his own, but also fea-
lures his famous stage band, long
recognized as one Of the greatest
organizations of it's kind in exist
ence.
In this alI-talking, singing and
dancing picture Ted Lewis has as
one of his chief aids none other
than Ann Pennington, who presents
four of her dancino specialties.
Other members of the supporting
cast include Alice Day, Julia Swayne
Gordon and Lawrence Grant.
The stage show is headed by
Don Santos and Exile Butler and
their Hottest Thing Ever" revue.
Both Don and Exile are well-sea-
soned Broadway stars and in their
revenue run the gamut of musical
singing and dancing entertainment.
The Seven Rhythmaniacs, Ruth
Roberts and Sam Stone are other
principals of the revnue.
William Ebs. probably one Of the
best known ventrilOquistS in vaude-
vile, has a surprise offering which
to divulge it would be to take away
from the act.
The last word In animal intelli-
gence is to be exhibited by Captain
Pickard, who will present as a spe-
cial feature on the bill Mickey, a
trained seal
One other Keith vaudeville act
and the usual short film subjects
complete the program.

While KreUtzberg was dancing in
the Hanover opera, friends urged
that he and Georgi combine their
careers because of mutual physical
harmony and a common love and
understanding Of the modern dance.
Kreutzberg, however, was engaged
by Max Reinhardt for the Festival
plays at Salzburg and later Rein
hardt brought him to America in
his production Of Midsummer
Nights Dream"
Returning to Germany, Kreutz-
berg and Georgi worked up more
than hundred routines in readi-
ness for their debut in this country
last seacOn. Together they capti-
vated and electrified critics and
audiences who viewed their ex-
traordinary art. This is their sec
ond sea-on in this country.
&reutzberg and Georgi will be
prc~ented in concert at English's
on Sunday afternoon, Dec. %, and
on Tuesday evening, Dec. 81.

BARRYMORE is
&c OKED AT ENCITSR'S

Ethel Barrymores $1,000 mile
tran5continental tour will bring her
to this city to present under the
management of Lee Shubert two
contrasting dramas, G. Martinez
Sierra's 1.-THE Kingdom of Cod"
translated by Helen and H. Gran
ville-Barker, and Lii Hatvany'S
"The Love Duel" adapted by Zoe
Aims. She will appear soon at
Er~l.sh's.
The Kingdom Of Cod was writ
ten by the author of THE Cradle
Scpg," which is in Eva lie Gal
lierne's repertory in the Civic
tEecter in New York city. Miss
Barrymore selected it to open her
own theater in New York last sea-
sen and Burns Mantle has included
it as one of the ten outstanding
dramas of the theatrical year of
1923-29. 1t is totally unlike any
piece ever acted by Miss Barrymore
and gives her a role which reveals
a~other phase of her art, that of
Sister Gracia, who is seen at the
different ages Of 10, % and 10. This
is not a religious drama in the
Ee1eraly accepted meaning of that
word, nor is Sister Gracia a nun.
rs the second play in her roper
tory. Miss Barrymore will present
The Love Duel" chosen for the
opportunity it gives her company to
appear in roles in wide contrast to
those they act in The Kingdom of
Gcd." In the Hungarian piece, the
actress is seen as the glamorous
Lydia, much experienced in love, but
never loving deeply.
Carlo, the philanderer, long has
desired to meet her, but she has de-
clined to be introduced to him. Cir
cumStances force her to speak to
him. A war at love springs be-
t'"een them.
The story IS based on the lives
of two people prominent in Buda-
pc5t society. The author is a mem
Der of the old Hungarian aristo-
cracy and has had several plays pro-
duced abroad, though The Love
DIeP is her first to be presented in
America. Zoe Atkins, who adapted
it, is the author of ''Declasee," in
which Miss Barrymore starred.
Louis Calhern is leading man for
Miss Barrymore. The company of
fifty players includes Mary Loane,
George Drew Mendum, George
Allison, William Kershaw, Anita
R0the, Harry Plimmer, Eleanor
Stuart, Gertrude Maitland, James
Me'ghan, Olive Oliver. Wilma
Thompson, Diane Van Dommelen
ErneStine Gaines, Malcolm Soltan
Marcel Dill, Joan Carvel, Eleanor
Powers, Charles Powers, Lionel
Dante, Edward Teene and Gregory
Deene. Watson Barrett designed the
settings and Miss Barrymore direct
ed the production of both plays.

result makes its Gold Medal award
This year the honor goes to the
william Fox studios, which pro-
duced -Four Sons"
An official statement from Photo
play Magazine is as follows:
Again the motion picture fans of
America have proved that heart in
terest is the most compelling quail
ity that can be achieved by a mo-
ton picture. After six months OF
voting the motion picture devotees
of America have decided among
themselves that -Four Sons" was the
greatest picture released in the year
1928.
For the second successive year, the
Photoplay Magazine gold medal, the
highest distinction that can be won
by any motion picture, has been
awarded to a film from the studios
Of William Fox according to an an
~cuncement in the current issue OF
the magazine.
-Four Sons" the current winner,
is the ninth production to receive
the annual award.
The previous winners were: 1920,
''Humoresque";; 1921, "Tolable Da-
vid";; 1922, robin Hood; 1928, 1.-THE
Covered Wagon; 1924, Abraham
Lincoln; 1925, '"The Big Parade;
1926, Beau Geste"; 1927, Seventh
Heaven"
TT is notable that only one pro-
ducticn on this list is what could
be called a star picture, and that
is Seventh Heaven in which Janet
Gaynor and Charles Farrell were
co-starred," points out James r.
Quirk, publisher of Photoplay in an
nouncing the award.
'"The new medal winner follows
the great tradition established since
the inception Of the award. All of
these fine pictures have been notable
for their story and treatment first.
All have been pulsingly human,
sentimental without sentimentality
appealing first and foremost to the
heart"
The picture, directed by John
Ford and adapted from the story,
Grandma Bernie Learns Her
Letters" by L A. R. Wylie, did not
feature a single widely known name
in it's cast. Margaret Mann, the
60-year-old Scotswoman whose
poignantly interpreted role of
Grandma Bernie made her famous
overnight, had been a big player in
Hollywood studios. Her four sons
were James Hall, Francis x. Bush
man Jr., Charles Morton, and
George Meeker, none of whom had
previously known picture fame.
Others in the cast were June Collyer,
Earle Fox, Albert Gran, August
Tollaire, Frank Reicher, Wendell
Collier, Jack Pennick, Hughie Mack,
Ruth Mix, Archduke Leopold of
Austria, and Ferdinand Schumann-
Heink.
The picture, first shown in 1923,
probably will stand as the last
silent production to win the award
For flesh actors this Christmas we
must depend upon the stage show
at the Indiana; the vaudeville bill
at the Lyric; members of the Civic
Theater at the Playhouse; burlesque
entertainers at the Mutual and those
employed at the Colonial and Rialto
The two big legitimate theaters and
Keith's are dark. So we have
something to be thankful for any
way.

MANY CURES FOR
POISON IVY KNOWN

belongs by rights to a related shrub
of the Pacific coast.
Poison sumac troubles fewer per-
sons than poison ivy, but those who
are susceptible get it harder. 1t is
perhaps providential that this shrub
grows only in acid-water boys or on
their borders, where only botanists
or determined mixers venture.
But where road has been built
through Doggy country even auto
mobilists will sometimes come to
grief from it. 1t looks, very much
like ordinary sumac, but can be dis
tinguished by its pale gray bark and
its dropping clusters of white berries.
The lacquer poisoning" with
which some persons occasionally be-
come afflicted is a form of ivy pois-
oning. Oriental lacQuers are made
from the gummy sap Of a species of
sumac that is related to the poison
Gus American species.
