'UNDERTOW'I IS
FILM DRAMA
AT RIALTO

"Undertow," playing at the
Rialto this week, is an epic of
an unsung hero, the lighthouse
keeper.
The billing features Mary
Nolan, but the film itself stars
John Mack Brown, perhaps the
best football player in movie
land, and about the only screen
star not to have played in a
gridiron film. This is not
meant as a reflection upon the
blonde beauty, but rather a
tribute to Brown. who makes
the most of a good part. Rob
ert Ellis, a good bad man,
plays the other chief role.
John Mack Brown, as Paul
Whalen, a lifeguard. falls in
love with what he can see Of
Sally Blake through his field
glasses. She is engaged to Jim
Paine. a lighthouse inspector,
who has promised Paul a job.
Paul saves boy from drown
ing and in so doing wins
Sally'S love.
They get married and live
in a lighthouse. After three
years. Sally rebels against the
loneliness. The head injury
of Paul's finally causes him
to go blind. Sally and Paul
try to keep this from jim.
When he learns of it he steals
Sally. Paul, searching for her,
runs into the door and is
knocked unconscious. His sight
is restored by the blow and
when his wife returns. pur-
sued by Jim, a fight ensues.

The management is generous

GRAND
IS SPARKLING
MUSICAL

THE Grand Parade" playing
at RK-O Keith's this week, is
a drama Of dynamic desires, en-
acted against the novel back
ground Of a glamorous minstrel
show. While the costumes and
plot are quaint in design, a
sprightly interest is constantly
maintained through the sincere
acting Of the players, the excel
lent execution of the tuneful
theme song and the talented
parade Of jolly MINISTRIES.
The story centers about
Come Back Kelley" a popular
tenor, who is driven to the dregS
Of drink by his mad infatuation
for a tickle burlesque queen.
Molly, boarding house slavey,
in turn loves Kelley to such a
degree she makes terrific and
pathetic fight to restore his cour-
age. The manner in which
Kelley Is cured Of moral coward
ice brings the picture to a tense
and touching conclusion.
Fred Scott, as Kelley, is so un-
assuming in his acting he might
be anyone in the audience, until
he starts to sing. Then. presto,
Scott becomes the artist gifted
with q golden voice that pos
Sesses thrilling volume, forceful-
ness and lyrical appeal.
Helen Twelvetrees, who plays
Molly, is strikingly like Lillian
Gish in her ability to portray
spirited usefulness. Although
she is very young and pretty.
Miss Twelvetrees lays aside her
vanity to reach emotional
heights and thereby brings to
her work a refreshing spiritual
charm. Marie Astaire, as Polly
the blonde enchantresS, presents
an effective picture Of selfish
glitter.
Richard earle, an old.timer
from the musical comedy stage,
leads the black boys, who sing.
dance, laugh and joke in the
manner Of troupers we'll versed
in the art Of creating vivid and
versatile amusement.
THE Setting Son." a humor-
Gus comedy exposing mer-

friendly harmony rendered by
Fred Clark and his RK-Olians

tive program.-ALICE K.

quires a seasoned art.
Marie Dressler, for the first
time since her recent return to
the studios, departs from mug

comedy to carry a part. She is
a soiled lily Of the wharves, d
faded, rum Sodden old trump,
who has been buffeted by the

benevolences of sailors. I would
catalogue it as one of the great
