new week, starting Friday. Ruth Ro-
land will be "the girl" and Ruth is
one of 1.-The stars of yore" who has been
lured from her hiding place by the talk
ing screen. Montagu Love, Kenneth

"cleverly exposes the divorce MILL of

relief.
And who has dared to say that the
Glorious Gloria Swanson is a one-week-
stand artist? Neverl Certainly not In
Washington, for Gloria and her new
picture, What a Widow" will require
at least second week-perhaps more
to satisfy the curiosity of her admirers
And so Loew's Columbia announces
Gloria as the widow as its attraction
for the new week, beginning Saturday
and that is all there is to be said upon
the subject.

PennSylvanians, who are doing their
farewell week in picture theaters at
Warmers Earle, prior to beginning re-

band is due to report on Broadway next
week.
Fred, it is claimed, has series of
tests for his muSicians-to-be. For in
stance, they must be gentlemen. A
roughneck musician who says desc"
and dose" and isn't particular about
splitting inf1nitives, isn't welcome.
Eleven universities are represented in
the orchestra and every man in it is
declared the sort of a man who would
be popular in his class at college.
Before new man is taken on by the
orchestra, Mr. Waring and his assist
ants have been watching him work for
six months. Notes are taken on his
appearance, his ability, the impression
he makes U,ocn his audience. His back
ground is investigated. Is he a good
fellow who will mix we'll with the other
musicians? What sort Of person would
he be in a tight situation? All this is
considered before a candidate Is
signed up.
And so-well, you know how it is.

RIALTo-"An Quiet on the Western
Front"

THERE is not the slightest doubt that
Washington is eager to see Univer-
sal Pictures screen masterpiece, "All
Quiet on the Western Front" based
upon Erich Maria Remarque's thrilling
story, for capacity audiences have greet
ed every showing and it has been found
imperative to hold the picture over dur
ing the current week.
In the ordinary sense of the term 1t
is not a war picture, and yet it is war
from beginning to end. But beyond
that there Is soul, spirit, to the
story and necessarily to the picture
which has gripped humanity as nothing
of its time has ever done. The tragic
fate Of its leading character, that might
be that of "ths unknown soldier" of
every country engaged in the World
War, is wonderfully pictured by young
Lewis Ayres, himself a young chap who
has gripped and realized the spirit of
the unhappy Paul. In the mammoth
cast of players involved also are many
of the men who were young fighters in
the ranks and who now bear the manned
figures Of the veteran.
Lewis Milestone, a picture director
surpassed by none in the matter Of &C
complishment, has caught the spirit OF
the tragic story and transferred it to
the screen in a way that will grip the
soul of all thinking people. His work
is one that picture patrons, young and
old, can Ill afford to miss.

depicts adventures of Paul l.. Hoef1er,
Colorado explorer, on daring trip
through the hitherto uneXplored regions
of the dark continent.
Apparently Hoefler and his courage
Gus band managed to penetrate into the
deepest jungle % the big continent.
Practically every type of native is
shown-from the giant Wasara of the
French Kongo to the pygmies OF the
Ituri forest, who seldom reach the
height of 81 inches. Religious rites and
tribal dances of these natives are
among the features of the production.
Many of their customs, heretofore a
mystery. are revealed.
Picture shots of lions, elephants, and
other jungle beasts were taken at amaz-
ingly close range. The thrills these
afford are enhanced by sound effect.
Particularly effective are photographs
of Nasal spearmen in hand-to-hand
combat with huge lions. All the thrills
of an African jungle hunt are brought
