Stage Presentation Strong
Feature At the Palace.

PURELY artificial in development,
and employing real characters,
illogically associated with o cold
blooded transaction, THE Virtuous
Sin" which opened yesterday at the
Palace Theater, must depend entirely
on the quality of its cast rather
than on'any merit In the play. Some
OF those who invent plots for the
screen are assumed to give attention
to the necessity for presenting a
series OF obvious scenes which might
inspire emotion and lead to a climax
that Is satisfactory TO everybody con-
cerned. In q dramatic emergency.
with such purpose, 1t often be-
comes necessary to overlook the hui

Stage Show Better Than
Love i'm the Rough" at Earle.

TAKEN from the mildly invigorat-
4 ing play, Spring Fever, the
new Aim at the Earle, Love in the
Rough" is very gentle golflng
comedy, with high spots due solely
to the Glowing of Benny Rubin. 1t
is one of those films-becoming
more obsolete, one is told, daily
that allow the players TO burst into
song at no especial provocation and
to be pursued wherever they may
happen to be by an invisible White
manesque orchestra.
The total result is distinctly not
above the average, in spite of Mr..
Rubin and Robert Montgomery, who
began by being one of the more
natural of the screens juveniles and
Is, unfortunately, going coy on us.
There is, however, Dorothy Jordan
to look at and-if one may discard
the whimsicality of the lineS-a tune
that is being successfully broadcast
over the radio ever other minute
or so.
Once upon a time-So goes the
narratiye-there was b young clerk
in a shipping Office who. because he
could play golf, grew into high favor
with his boss. won the hand of the
daughter of wheat king and finally
Modified the objections of his irate
father-in-law when he married the
girl by winning a golf game.
The producers of this. evidently
anxious to try to make the audience
forget the plot, have besought Benny
Rubin to be funny. And he Is,
And therein lies the films only
greatness.
The stage show is. however, in the
language of the naughty, another
breed of cats" Headed by the indie
fatigable Tom PATRICIA, who dances
with all the clumsy grace that is his
alone. this vaudeville entertainment
becomes easily the best SO far to APP
pear Oh the boards of the Earle.
Besides. Mr.. PATRICIA, who seemed
at yesterdays performance too fond
OF Glowing and not enough of
dancing. this erstwhile star of the
Scandals" and of late familiar TO
film patrons, is assisted by two
spirited dancers. the Pearl Twins.
There ere. besides, those three
haunting ladies OF song. the Brox

up near the top and is recommended
unhesitantly to those who take their
vaudeville seriously or not.
