succeeds in making you hate the
character he portrays, but he not
only overacts, but also seems to be
too conscious of himself. Most Of
the time he makes you feel that he
is just acting, and the secret of
acting is to make you forget that.

YOU that Mrs. Ona b. IalbOtt, VINO
knows personally as many artists as
any living person in this country,
sat next TO me when I saw The
Rogue Song" and she cried out.
Bravo when Tibbett finished this
number. To me it is the lOvelieSt
and the best rendered love song yet
projected on the singing screen.
And I believe that I will not be
contradicted. Anyway. will stand
by my guns until I change my opin-
ION.
The best way to sum up the story
of THE Rogue Song" is to term it
ID sort of Russian Robin Hood.
Here Is a bandit whose singing voice
captures the interest of a Russian
princess. But she will not yield to
love. Then tragedy enters the crude
mountain home of Yegor-his sis
tar goes wrong with a prince. In a
most dramatic scene he swearS
vengeance and the prince happens to
be the brother of the princess.
Yegor murders the prince after he
sings of the death of his sister. He
then escapes with the princess into
the mountains and we see him fail
in actually tanning his high born
Shrew. She hands him over to the
law and he is beaten until blood
flows from his body. But he sings
all the time.
OF course. when Yegor Is about
dead the dumb princess discovers
that she loves him and so he goes
back to his band. still singing and
leading his men.
Tibbett. as I have told you, is, in
nv opinion. the best singing voice
that the screen has vet projected.
He lives his story He can act, and.
above all. he has voice with 'fit" in
the voice. If they can get more of
THE Rogue Song" stories for him,
he will be the leader.
Nance O'Neil has Just a bit. that
Of the Princess Alexandra. and she
makes this character stand out.
Catherine Dale owen looks more
human than she did in her first
picture. but still she has that wood
en- way about her sometimes.
Elsa AiSen. as the mother of Ye-
gor. gives performance that is
truly great because she is always in
character. The death chant is Won
derfullv done. And that applies TO
al the chorus work.
'sJhe Rogue Song" was directed
bv lionel Barrymore. This is his
great, st. Franz Lehar wrote some
of the music. And this man knows
how to write them. The picture is
all In color.
Here is the biggest amusement
buy. in my opinion. that the sound
screen has given us so far.
Now at Loew's Palace.

Don't Go to Extremes
To End Constipation

When bad breath, or a coated
tongue, bilousness or headaches
warn of constipation, don't take
violent purgatiyes. There's no use
when a candy Cascaret will stop
the trouble in jiffy; will cleanse
your system pleasantly, and com
pletely.
The relief you get so promptly
from Cascarets is lasting. Cascarets
are made from caScara. a substance
which medical authorities agree
actually strengthens the bowel
muscles.
So Cascarets are a blessing to ole
folks with weakened bowels; to chill
dren; to any one in need of estab-
fishing regular bowel habits. Ter

me as he puffed for breath, "the
greatest thing in my life has hap

comedy role in Eddie Dowling's next
big movie"
And Bowling in one Of his little
talks on the stage in person tells
us that Johnny is going to play the
Juvenile comedy, role in Honey

a movie this summer.
Honeymoon Lane" was hit on
the stage years ago with Bowling.
1t should find its spot especially
when the people are demanding real
tunes and stories on the talking
screen.
Bowling in person this week sings
a. couple of songs. He does about
as much talking as singing. He has
always been a rather sincere per-
son on the stage.
Johnny Perkins helps to get the
audience all steamed up for Dowl-
ing but Bowling has the artistry,
the good Judgment and the sing
ing way to accept applause even be-
fore he has done thing in person.

In addition to the stage show,
Eddie Bowling is featured on the
screen in Blaze of Glory" Here

which has it's war scenes but
done as fiaShbacks. Bowling has a
number Of songs, but I found fault
with either the recording or the
projection of sound while Eddie was
singing his first number on the stage.
