Lila Lee, is the feature at
R-K-O Keith's adapted from
the Fulton Oursler play, "All
the Kings Men" 1t depicts
with biting and dramatic clar-
ity the age-old antagoniSm be-
tween stepmother and STEP
child-and the consequent re-
actions in the marital affairs
Of man and wife. Here is the
situation propounded in the
picture:
A young man Of affairs, who
devotedly loved his first wife
before her death, has married
again an adorable and beauti-
full woman. She Is soon to be-
come the mother of his child
and he has promised to spend
his time at home with her
during the tremendous moment.
And then there is flung be-
fore him a brief cablegram
from abroad informing him his
Son-the child of his first wife
whom he has sent abroad to
study lest his presence hurt the
second wife by reminding her
that she has not been the only
woman in his life, is dying.

In the picture, Nagel, the hus-
band, turns his back on the
second wife on the eve or the
birth of their child, and goes
to Europe to be with the son
who lies near death. True, the
son does not die-and the hus-
band comes back home in time

become the mother of his
second child. She meets him

the father that saved his life.
Otherwise he might have died
and then the second wife

But suppose his second wife
had died to give him their
child?" is the bitter reply Of
the other side. WAS it not
rather his duty to stay there
by her side-the woman to
whom he had pledged his ut

The denoument Is logical and

ELEANOR PAINTER IN A
HERBERT GEM

At Polls Theater, Monday
evening, the prima donna,
Eleanor Painter, whose lark-like
notes have captivated audiences
Of both grand opera and light
opera, on both sides of the At
lantic, will appear in Victor
Herbert's melodious comic opera
The Fortune Teller"
Miss Painter is so we'll known
locally that any introduction at
this time seems superflous; Suf-
flee to add that since she has
appeared in this country in
The Last Waltz" and THE
Nightingale" she has been sing
ing in grand opera in Berlin,
and last season appeared in
Paris in The Light from st.
Agnes" Her advent here in
the fascinating and spectacular
Herbertian gem The Fortune
Teller" affords her an admir-
able opportunity to disclose the
magnificent soprano voice with
which she is SO literally en-
dowed.
In the triune characterization
OF MuSette, she shoulders a bur-
den Of melodic and histrionic
diversity that runs the entire
gamut Of vocal and dramatic
endeavor;; appearing as Irma,
the ballet dancer: Musette, the
gypsy; and Fedor, the timid
lieutenant Of the guard: in each
OF which she gives a depletion,
said to be as clear cut as a
cameo and resplendent with
supreme artistry.
The story tells about the
tntrigues Of Polish count who,
discovering that a pupil in the
ballet school at Budapest is an
he1ress, tries to repair his shat
tered fortune by marrying her:
the heiress has a double in the
person OF Musette, gypsy
fortune teller: the count de-
ceived by the wonderful resemb-
lance of the two, unwittingly
makes love to the one and then
to the other. Irma, the heiress
has a sweetheart named Lads
las, an officer in the Hungarian
Army; and Musette has a
ferocious lover named Sander, q
gypsy musician; naturally the
soldier and the gypsy resent the
advances OF the count, with the
result that direful and humor.
Gus complications arise-with
the usual comic opera ending.
Miss Painter is surrounded by
an unusually competent COM
pany, including Eric Titus, who
