who needs only to announce" to be
assured of an admiring audience.
Well wishers of both stage and ac-
tor hope that he may always offer a
satisfying and original study of the
Kaleidoscope qualities of uncut gems
Of humanity-for that is the func-
ton of footlights and screen.
In "Old English" it may be fair to
suggest that, while he has made a
fine picture which abounds in hui
man interest and has practically no
flaws in action, it is the same Arliss
that we have seen before, with some
additional emphasis upon those
traits in which he is supreme. and
there is possibility that the movie
director has done too much direct
ing. Theater managers have here
tofore suspected that the disappear
ance OF some good acting from cur
rent entertainment has been due to
the managerial genius of quantity
production. Possibly, with greater
experience In the sphere of the
talkies, there will be increased APP
probation Of the possibility of utiI-
iztng the special talents Of persons
of the rank of Mr. Arliss.
While these facts are worthy of
consideration, it must be emphasized
that this production at the Metro
polltan eXemplifieS the art of the
drama as distinguished from some
contrasting ballyhoo of the screen.
1t is also true that the star of the
piece possesses at all times that
JUNCTION Of address which has ever
made actors rise above their fellows.
Sir John Galsworthy's play has
been provided with a most ade-
quate cast. and the cleverly written
script contains numerous bright
spots which give point to the work
Of the players. An excellent char
acter role is that of Ethel Critics
as Adela Heythorp, ill-natured
daughter Of the chief figure in the
story, while Betty Lawford as Phyl-
lis, granddaughter in an illegitimate
line, has a most convincing scene
with Mr.. ArliSs, in which both
achieve genuine dramatic effect. She
has the characteristics of the In
genue combined with such sincerity
as might be expected when her pro-
genitor, man of the world INDUCES
in one Of his rare moments OF do
nestle tenderness. Doris Lloyd, as
Mrs. Larne. mother Of Phyllis, meets
effectively the demands of situations

man from the backwoods who
dreams Of college chivalry. The
hero wins the foot ball game-and
so does the heroine, having lured
the finest players in the country to
her alma mater by the batting of

Some day, perhaps, it will be
possible for the movies to get over
the idea that it is a woman who is
the inspiration behind every foot

theme necessary to the success of
any college comedy. This f1lm-as

in and out of their rooms, standing
at their locker room door with a

AS any sort of novelty this film
strikes rock bottom. But as a silly,
mildly entertaining comedy, brought
to the tolerable point by occasional
squeals from Joe Brown and occa-
sional pictures of Joan Bennett
singing the theme song, it isn't so
bad. The humor in it is piled sky
high with antiquity, and the situa-
lions are suggestive of ante-F1ora-
dora days, but there Is enough fool
tshneSs to keep one alive most of
the time.
Incidentally, the "all-star Ameri-

cept two of them-look as though
they were pretty sick of the whole
business.
The remainder of the program is
devoted to some highly tuneful
numbers by the Earle Orchestra,
Vitaphone Varieties. news reels and
a hilarious audience which seemed

JOHN INGRICK WINS
TYPEWRITER IN TEST
Strayer Student Typed 60 Words a
Minute to Receive
Prize.

John f. Ingriek, an evening class
student of Strayer College. has just
been awarded a portable typewriter for
tipping without error at The rate of 60
words a minute for Is minutes. This
is the first time that a Washingtonian
has won a machine for a perfect type
writing speed test.
According to contest officials the
test on which Ingrick made his record
was most difficult, containing a num-
Der of unusual words. together with a
large amount of tabulation, thus CALI
ing for both sustained speed and accu-
racy.
Ingrick, who has almost completed
the seeretarial course at Strayer's, ordi-
narily writes from 10 to 30 words a
minute on the typewriter, but slowed
down to insure absolute accuracy as
required on this particular test. He
already holds the certificate, and the
bronze. silver and gold emblems offered
by several typewriter companies for
proficiency at speeds up to so words a
minute.
At Business High School where Ingrick
was graduated in 1928, he was presi-
dent of the senior class, and In the
two-year academic course which he
took subsequently at Emerson Insti-
tute Ingrick was graduated second in a
class of Sc. Twelve honor credits have
already been presented Ingrick for dis
tinguished proficiency in a number of
subjects which he has studied at
StTayerS.
