BELASCO PLAY
PROMISES
LAUGHS

"It's A Wise Child" coming to
the National Theater December
20 for one week only, with
Wednesday and Saturday matt
nees. takes a minor incident in
the life of a nice American fam
lily and makes it the storm cen
ter for a group Of circumstances
side-splitting in effect on the on
locker. but certainly disastrous to
the family circle.
Little by little the plight Of an
employe sweeps over the family,
drawing in a lawyer, a capitalist
and others from the outside, until
it appears that nothing can pre-
vent a terrible social upheaval.
Each effort to mend the trouble
makes worse troubles and, just
when it seems that everything is
hopeless, light begins to dawn.
Troubles Iron Out
All the troubles are ironed out,
but their repairing brings new
and hilariously funny comedy sit
uations until the last moment
before the final curtain.
There's pretty love interest
throughout and at last there's a
hint Of wedding chimes, but in
the preceding two hours Of con-
tinuous laughter, no one would
give a plugged penny for the
chance of the young lovers.
Mr.. Belasco has assembled a
noteworthy company to interpret
the play, the very same that de-
lighted Manhattan theatergoers
for one entire year. Among its
members are Minor Watson, Sid
ney Toler, Harlan Briggs, Joseph
Striker, Porter Hall, George Wal
colt, Mildred Mccoy, Helen Lo-
well, Leila Bennett and Olga
Kralow.

but it fits the girls talents to
perfection. Incidentally, she gets
the best out of every line, and
except that It's the same old

Page, who seems to be holding
down the lead every once in

that he overacts. Myrna 10y is
a most appealing young woman,

pleasant role.

D. GIRL MADE
BIG SUCCESS
ABROAD

Ann Suter, Washington's own
comedienne, is to be seen this
week at Warner Bros Earle
Theater, where she heads the
stage portion of the entertain
ment.
The comedienne, who returns
to her own bailiwick after four
years Of popular successes In Lon
don and Australia, where she was
known as "the girl from Dixie,
went to Europe for one season
and conquered audiences to such
an extent that managers kept her
there and in Australia for four
years.
M. Wilson Disger, the famous
English authority on clowns, wrote
of Miss Suter as follows:
"She is the greatest clowneSs
in the world. Her studies are a
series of living caricatures. What
Crock is on his side Miss Suter
is on hers. At the same time she
is the only clown, or clownesS,
that is both funny and lovely"
Miss Suter took part in anna
teur performances at the age Of
1. A few years later she made
her professional appearances, first
at Hudson'S Theater, New jersey,
and then at Keith'S Alhambra,
New York Since then she has
remained permanently before the
public. She has q remarkable
range in comedy facial express
SionS. The result is that she
gets all she requires to complete
the character Of each member
with a few tosses Of the hair.
Shrieks of laughter are evoked
by the attitudes she strikes
elaStic-1ike and original without
the slightest suggestion Of coarse
ness.
Given a measure of ability" !"
remarks Miss Suter, "there is no
pleasanter life for a girl than a
stage career. But she must have
the grit to see it through"

Having been a dancer since
childhood, Laura Lee, who plays
an important featured role in
"Going Wild" which is now
showing at Warner Brothers
Earle Theater, is an ardent ad'
vocate of any method which pro,

"If you would dance more
gracefully and walk more attrac-
lively, include a few balancing

Newman's Talks
To Begin Jan. Is

E. M. Newman has selected for
his travel talks twenty-second sea-
son, Italy, Germany, Switzerland
and France. These topics en-
brace the travel centers, include
many Of the 'thigh spots" of
Europe and have something for
every taste.
Who does not want to "see"
Italy, inexhauStihle as it is. There
are few that would omit Oberam-
mergau, with glimpses Of Munich
and the Bavarian Alps. Is there
anyone so blase that Switzerland
would not charm? Lives there
a man or woman who does not
enjoy a visit to Paris?
Carefully selected, these sub
jects have a popular appeal. They
are as follows: Seeing Italy
from Naples to the Alps"
Rome and Vatican City," "Ober-
ammergau, with scenes Of the
Passion Play" Switzerland" and
LA Vie de Paris"
This series will be shown at
the National Theater on the five
consecutive Sunday afternoons,

THE STORM IS
MOVIE OF
THRILLS

'"The Storm" produced by UNI
versal from Langdon McCormick's
sensationally successful play Of
the same name, is the current at
traction at the Rialto Theate-.
Tempestuously lovely Lupe Va
lez has the leading role. With her
are featured Paul Cavanagh and
william Boyd, two Of the most
distinguished actors Of the stage

The central situation of "The
Storm" is called sufficiently dra-
matte in itself. Two men, old
friends, are penned up in a snow
bound cabin in the Canadian
wilds with the girl whom both
love. While death by starvation
closes down upon all three, the
love hunger in the hearts Of the
men brings each other closer to
the others throat.
Plenty Of Thrills
In addition to the emotional
effects Of THE Storm" there are
thrills of breath-taking intensity.
There are scenes of a terrific
avalanche, blizzardS, and of a
canoe shooting rapids, in which
death rode breast to breast with
the players. The company spent
weeks in the high Sierras Of Cali
fornia in the winter season to OBJ
tain authentic atmosphere.
Lupe Velez is cast as the viva
cious French Canadian girl around
whom the love interest centers.
A feature Of her performance is
the singing of "Chansonnette Of
Pierrot and Pierrette." Paul Cav
anagh and William Boyd give
spirited performances as the rivals
for her affections. Alphoaz
Either and Ernie S. Adams also
have important roles.

adaptation and Wells Root the

CORKY'S REALISTIC NOVEL, Gain
AND ARTEM," AT ACME THEATRE

"Cain and Artem," silent screen
version of Maxim Gorky's novel of
the same name, is now playing at
the Acme Theatre, despite the preva-
lent belief that talking pictures have
entirely supplanted the old shadow
screen.
Produced by the Sovkino Company
of Russia, Gain and Artem" is a
direct transition to the screen of
Gorky's realistic novel, not dimmed
by any superficial furnishings that
might detract from the dynamic and
relentless vigor that was portrayed in
the Gorky theme. "Cain and Artem"
endeavors to put in action the
thoughts, habits and loves of the
Russian peasant.
On the same program the Acme
Theatre is showing 1.-THE Miracle of
the Wolves" another of the noted
film histories of France. The picture
deals graphically with the end of the
hundreds years war. Many noted
French players have important roles
in the film.

NEW YORK-Guido Serio, mill
tant worker awaiting deportation and
certain death in Mussolini's Italy, is
still at Ellis Island, where his case
is being fought by the International
Labor Defense. The hearings before
the immigration inspectors bring out
directly and openly the alliance be-
tween international capitalism and
the Catholic Church and their an
xiety to get Serio back to Italy
where he had bitterly fought the
Fascist party and for his activity in
the Communist Party in this coun-
try.
One of the first questions was;
Q.-"Do you believe in the Soviet
Union?"
Ayes"
Q.-"Do you believe in the destruc-
ton of the churches as practiced by
the Soviet Union?"
Al believe Russia is doing
things right. I believe and say that
people in this country should take
the same stand"
Then came barrage of questions
dealing even more directly with the
reason behind these deportations:
A.-"What did you say about the
Pope?"
At said that the Pope was one
man that made war on the Soviet
Union.
Q.-"What are the principles of the
Communist Party.
