of Miss Miller and her unquestioned
talents as a dancer, her new film has
not the sparkle that one imagines It
should have, nor the vim and vigor
= Of its stage ancestor The musical
comedy on the stage was noted
mainly for Miss Miller, the late Jack
Donahue and some music that Mr..
Zeigfeld had spent much to evoke.
In its present state, the music has
mostly gone by the boards, Miss Mil
Ter has acquired plumpneSs, and al
though Joe Donahue seems often
very, very good, one can't help
thinking how very much better his
brother would have been in the
same part.
The story doesn't matter-one ex-
poets that before one goes. The
comedy" however except in the
pictures of Mr.. Dona1ue as an
equestrian, is not especially funny.
And why must the lovely Marilyn
conceal herself in the garments of
the hunt, and do a kick-and-run
type dance with large pair of boots
and a grace that Is lost beneath a
square and ugly black hat? Was it
possible that a member of the audi
ence snickered during this dance?
The Sunny" acting family is
well enough, except that 1t does not
allow Lawrence Grey-who can sing
to sing, or Inez Courney-who
can act-to act.
For stage entertainment, there are
Miss Baker and Joe Donahue. who
is most likeable replica of his
brother; a clever trapeze act by Kay,
Hamlin and Kay. and Ships Con-
cert" an act still very much in the
embryo. E. de S. M.

"TOl'able David" at Keith's,
A Very Fine Film.

IT was with considerable boldness
= that Columbia Pictures undertook
to bring "Tol'able David" to the talk
ing screen, since it seems only about
a day before yesterday that Richard
Barthelmess won his acting spurs in
this Hergesheimer story. However,
those who are able are advised to 60
to R-K-O Keiths Theater and see
what the result has been. For, in its
present state, "Tolable David" is a
splendid film from every point of
view, and one which in no way sug-
gests a lapse from the original.
The producers have been fortunate
in their choice of David. Richard
Cromwell, who steps into the shoes
Of Richard Barthelmess, Is not only
ideally suited to the part, being
obviously young and not over-ripe in
his theatricalisms, but he Is a new
conner with what seems like an hon.
est and a pleasing personality. and
a face that is, to say the least,
human. His performance is
amazingly sincere and, in the mo-
natural and believeable.
The many things that have been
trumpeted ahead of him about his
ability are, for the most party, true.
Without barking back to COM
parison, young Mr.. Cromwell's
acting is one of those things
that viii bear watching, and-one
hopes-he will be kept far afleld
from the more sophisticated types.
His best asset Is the way he has of

not initiating anybody but being
strictly himself-and, since he Is
always that, he should find the path
to cinema immortality not too hard
to tread.
The story-aS is probably familiar
to everyone-having to do with a
family feud in the Kentucky noun
tains. has been handled with the
simplicity that 1t deserves. The ter
rife combat that David has with the
three villains, in which as in the
silents, the door is kept shut In the
face of the audience, and isn't
opened until David can stumble out
with the Government sack of mail
in his hand, seems as exciting and
brutal as ever All the actors con-
cerned, with the possible exception Of
Joan Peers-whose face is far too
painted for a mountain lass-are
good, Noah Berry and Helen Ware
being among the best, and Richard
Cromwell running off, of course, with
the laurels in both hands.
The remainder of the program Is
devoted to comedies, and newsreels,
and-lest we forget-a word should
be said in praise of John Blystone,
who directed "Tol'able David" and
was hence responsible for good
part of its simplicity and charm.

east Is West" at RialtO
Is Vehicle for Good Acting.

DRAMATIC value in the points Of
the compass is accepted as
definitely established by tradition,
and impressive moments are to be
expected when the clash and climax
come in the course Of q geo.
graphical story or play. Superseding
Az others in recent experiences Is
the contact between the Orient and
the Occident. If there Is any 'exr
ample which rises above the ma
chine-made chain products of this
type, it may well be that East Is
West" offered this week at the
Rialto, is that particular one.
Some Oriental ideas are assumed
to be marked by an elusive quality
leading to results which display no
rtppleS or the surface, while wits
are matched with what are repre-
sented to be the more sincere, but
also more vigorous and Obvious
moves of the n-Oriental char
acters. East Is West" has been &C
cepted as the standard of such
stories. and it has inspired similar
plots since its success was established.
Chief interest in the production
at the Rialto centers in the leading
members Of the cast, for Lupe VeleZ
has an established reputation in an
understanding of distinctive feminine
qualities, and Lewis Ayres, winning
fame in a war play, has been put
forward since that time in some
roles which required more than
perfunctory performances.
Miss VeleZ presents an excellent
characterization of the Chinese girl,
Ming Toy, and was consistent
throughout in her broken English
and in her conception of the Chinese
character. An appealing charm gave
interest to her acting, and her songs
offered an opportunity to display the
rich quality of her singing voice,
which might be said to have a
stronger effect than her speaking
voice. Her comedy is handled with

Admirers of this actress, however,
would be inclined to prefer her Latin
roles to the one she now has.
Lewis Ayres gives distinction to
a part which is not particularly ex-
acting. and gives further evidence OF
advancement toward the higher
ranks of his profession. He is sin
cere and straightforward in keep
ing with the American personality

He is a typical, clean-cut youth OF
America. Edward G. Robinson de-

EFFORTS to be serious. to be thrill

vices of a natural comedian are re-
uuired for full appreciation Of Re

William Haines has complained that
his audiences refuse TO take MN

here Is an occasion when 1t becomes
necessary to laugh and to be I'M

Haines, as the chief member OF the
company, illustrates the ease with
which talent may register without
conscious effort, both in his own
capacity as an actor, and In the role
for which he is cast in the produc-
ton. AS foil to his own eStao-
lished qualities, he Is surrounded IN

of whom are seemingly impressed Dy

instances of the sort. the finesse OF
the spoken parts in the limits OF q
theater stage gives way, to o con-
siderable extent, to the more obvious
incidents of q we'll constructed pic
ture of crime. In the contributions
of Mr.. HaineS, however, there are
numerous flashes of wit and humor
which are characteristic of an actor
who has achieved popularity in his
special line, and is endowed with a
genuine personality. Such char
acters are appreciated equally on the
stage and in the picture.
Mary Doran plays opposite the
chief member of the cast, and ap-
pears to be unduly impressed by the
necessity for presenting in her role
q consistent attitude of rebuke for
the efferveScence Of her associate.
The sudden conversion at the close
of the drama Is so precipitate that

presents Nne piece of work as Prof.
Kruger, leader of crime group, who
poses as a radio speaker on occult
matters. The radio furnishes its
interesting background of the plot.

self feel as though you just can't
live without it. Casting all high
falutin' ideas of individuality to the
winds, out you dash to the nearest
gadget department and get yourself
one-a gadget, not the department.
| Well, one of the latest gadget sue
cesses is collars and cuffs for your
sweaters and sports dresses.
They are made just likest sam
pies mother used to make, except
that the design is different. The
little squares of tailor's canvas lend
themselves ideally to the particular
kind of stitch that separates these
collars and cuffs, and the embroi-
derry is done in colored. woods or
raff1ia.
One sees them on sweaters, on
tweed sports dresses and suits, on
shantung sports dresses. And just
for fun, the collar cuffs very often
are matched by either a hat of the
beret variety, or tiny bonnet
shaped one which looks for all the
world like babys bonnet or like
those worn by our Puritan ances-
tors.
Or again a collar and cuff may be
matched by either bag or a belt.
All the articles are unlined and I'M
hemmed, the edge simply bound
with the thread.

We knew you couldn't possibly
live without some of these sam

very first thing we up and did
was to find out how to go about
making them! Then we designed
some special sets for you, one with
matching beret which is simply
adorable, another with a darling

really helpful, one of those new
and interesting wool lace sweaters
that are blOused and have huge
sleeves, and tuck in under your
skirt. / don't see how you can
