words or action Nor has it been
diluted In theme. 1t stands forth
boldly as an uncompromising revela-
ton Of war, and as the most sim
cere production that Hollywood has
attempted. Neither director nor
producer has spared toll. One scene
after another goes by with either
grim tragedy, pathos or humane
comedy. The only pity last night
was that part of the audience seemed
to think they we're attending some
kind of burleSque comedy.
There Is no question that this Is
q screen masterpiece. No film has
ever been able to rivet the audiences
attention and hold it literally spell
bound in the manner of "All Quiet"
For almost two hours, as mankind is
torn asunder before ones eyes, as
youth follows youth into merciless
Shellflre and is swallowed up in the
maze Of the non-returning, and as
the few moments of heart-rending
pathoS and grim comedy appear, one
after the other, there is scarcely the
time for the inclination to breathe.
Each moment is a distinct etching
in itself and an indelible one in the
audiences minds eye. 1t Is not the
kind of picture that may be said to
be just good" 1t Is really great"
if-as in the unfolding of the original
story-one feels that up to being
spellbound In the unmerciful grip of
profound and moving tragedy.
The history Of Paul Banner. who
lived and died for his country, is
that Of millions of others of his own
age at the time Of the war. Mr.
Remarques chose to have Paul die
because he said that he couldn't pos
sibly have gone on living after all
that. Certainly. the patriot who
sprang up in the class room and
cried his enthusiasm for war came
back q broken and a disillusioned
man. Perhaps the bittereSt part of
1t was that after he had been at
the front he could only say on his
return, 1--WE live and die at the
front, that Is all" and was called
coward because the chant Of war
wasn't proudly bursting from his
There is in all this, too, part of
the poetic quality that was SO much
OF the book. The contrasts between
the grimnesS of war, its crude
comedy and the hopeless trying to
cling to something of the past,
makes the film what 1t is--a docu-
ment Of terrific emotions, which Di-
rector Lewis Milestone has touched
with magic hand.
His players, too, have responded
to their tasks with hrilliance. All
on level of perfect finesse, It Is al
most impossible to pick out the stars.
Lewis Ayres, however, as Paul, gives
performance that will not easily be
forgotten, and Louis Wolheim is am

COLUMBUS. Ohio, September 27.--
An investigation to determine the cause
Of the collapse of bleacher stands at

approximately 100 spectators at a foot

while so others were sent to hospitals.
There were no fatalities, and broken

sections Of the stands and order was
restored only after school officials re-
sorted to ioudspeaker system set UP

surging crowd.
The game was delayed until the in
Jured had been removed, and then pro-

Arliss In "Old English"
Continues at Metropolitan.
ECOGNIzED as master of char
II acterization and one Of the
most popular Of the actors now be-
fore the public, George Arliss and
his able supporting company OF
players enter upon a second week at
the metropolitan Ineater, WIFI tttc
strong approval of Washington
ti1eatergoers. The talkie play, "Old
English" offers an exceptional OPP
portunity for the enjoyment of those
qualities for which Mr.. Arliss has
been universally praised during his
years upon the stage.
The photography In the produc-
ton Is skilfully handled, and the
picture OF the supremely confident
business diplomat is one that fingers
in the memory in way that is
hardly duplicated by the ordinary
succession of talking pictures. The
final defeat of the old master of
business, when sentiment overcomes
his ordinary caution, and for the
sake of others he violates the ethics
of commercial life, Is q dramatic
climax which tests his fine abilities,
and he meets the test in the man
ner that would be expected Of George
Arliss.
Other interesting features Of the
program are The Star-Universal
Newsreel, with Graham McNamee,
and short comedy subjects.
