COMEDY
WELL ACTED
AT EARLE

An adroit, Suave, but curl
ouSly uneven comedy by Alfred
Sutro, THE Laughing Lady"
done with airy grace by Give
Brook and Ruth Chatterton, is
the latest addition to Para
mounts experimental gallery of
social studies which have stimu-
lated interest in the more So
phiSticated moods Of the the
ater among discriminating
movie-goers for the past six
months or more.
1t Is the Earle's offering of
the week. just as one of it's dis
tinguished forerunnerS, THE
Lady Lies" was several months
ago. 1t tells story which is so
obviously British in its origin
that a fundamental mistake,
probably, was made in trans
planting it to a Park Avenue
Southampton locale. In Amer
lea divorce cases are not argued
before juries. Nor does even
the tabloid or the reptilo press
print highly libelous stories
merely on overheard telephone
conversations: this part of the
narrative of The Laughing
Lady" is so entirely unrealistic
as to rob it, partially at least, of
artistic integrity.
The saving grace of the Sutro
comedy is the delightful acting
Of Ruth Chatterton and Give
Brook. a worthy counterpart of
not diSSimilar roles played by
Claudette Colbert and Walter
Huston in THE Lady Lies"
The story is Sketched in with
none too firm a hand, despite
the fact that such names as
those Of Arthur Richman and
Bartlett Mccormick are at
tached to the scenario and the
dialogue. AS a character story
the piece falls short, and much
Of the flavor of the original is
lost.
The supplemental comedy has
Charlie Murray as its star, and
it is a laughable get-rich-quick
narrative, in which the once re-
doubtable Murray is seen in
his familiar stunts. His fall
out Of a hotel window, hanging
on to a telephone wrenched
from its moorings, is genuinely
funny. An excellent newsreel
completes the bill.-A.M.J.

GARBO SCORES
IN O'NEILL'S
DRAMA

There is not much doubt that
Anna Christie" the Eugene
O'Neill masterpiece in which
Greta Garbo is making her first
appearance as a talking cinema
player, will be listed among the
10 best films of the year. This
picture, now available for a sec
ond week at the Columbia Thea
ter, proved, like "Disraeli," that
the talking screen has dramatic
possibilities far beyond even the
ardent hopes of those who in
troduced the innovation.
The support rendered Miss
Garbo is nothing short of SUI

Charles Bickford's Matt Burke

done. Clarence Browns direc.

seen in any age. The action
takes place on an iceberg, and
Mr.. Langdon's tribulationS are
worth something more than a

CCacLlon at the R-k-O-kelth
It is not a war story of boom
ing howitzers, nigh; attacks and
No-Man's land horrors. Instead
the mission Of the novelist was
to point out the barberous
severity which oftentimes ap-
plies in the application Of mill
tary justice, how one man suf-
fered and became q victim of
the legal machine which en-
forces th7 unrelenting code pre-
Scribed for the soldier. Such an
adventure as paralleled the
abuses which the former Gen.
Ansell Of the United States
Army crusaded against until he
resigned his commission.
Director Herbert Brenon has
respected the mood Of the
author and the result is a
grimly 'colorec picture Of life
within German prison camp,
seldom lighted by happy Incl
dent and frequently so leisure
ly paced 1t becomes draggy. In
its fidelity to Russian back
gre und and settings, the Eng
lish speech Of the actors seems
to appear as an anachronism
detracting somewhat from the
credulouS quality of the theme.
Grischa's story is that of a
Russian prisoner who escapes
the stockade after three years
Of heart-breaking confinement
routine. He finds a temporary
haven with fellow refugees in
the forest and developeS a ro-
nance with the blonde Babka.
In attempting to run the Ger
man lines and reach his home
he is recaptured. The court
martial rules he must be exc
cuted and then begins a con-
flict to soften tn rigor Of the
sentence. When the high COM
mand Of the German head
quarters is finally moved by
compassion to a reprieve, the
message staying the execution
cannot be put through because
the wires to division head
quarters have been grounded
by a snow storm. Meantime
word comes to push the Ger
man drive ahead and the
quality of mercy is never ap-
piled. The blizzard which put
the wires out of commission
spelled G-ischa's doom. So he
goes to his death, an incident
which has been graphically
screened by Director Brenon
with minimum of horror.
Chester Morris is the Ser
geant GriScha" and gives a SYM
pathetic and sincere perform
ance of an exacting role. He is
too clean cut and intelligent
looking to be always convincing,
cast as a Russian peasant boy
who can neither read nor write.
The element of romance as in
jected by Betty Compson is well
come relief. Alec B. Francis,
Gustav Won Seyfferitz, Paul NC
Allister and Jean HerSholt give
splendid support in the other
important roles.
THE Case of Sergeant Girls
cha" is a worthy and commend
able effort by Hollywood in the
field of serious drama. AS such
it merits encouragement.
In the supplementary pro-
gram is a short Pathe subject,
1.-The Feline Fighter" Don't
miss it. It screens with thrill
ing realism the tracking down
of a maurading wildcat by a
pack of hunting dogs. Freddy
Clark's R-K-Olians dip into mu-
sical satire for the overture, a
feature that is commented upon
elsewhere on this page.
