New Triumph
 for Crawford
Joan the Star Cast in This Modern Age,' Opening
 at State To-day

Joan Crawford scores the most brilliant triumph of her career in
 This Modern Age" which opens a four day engagement at Warmers State theater to-day.
 That even in the gayest of so- ciety, the pleasure mad, ultra modern parties of care-free youth, real love in the final and dominant factor-is the theme of this great hit picture, which is incidentally the third in the long list to show at this theater during the current reign of Warner Brothers Hits of the Century Show Season." In this Parisian picture, Joan Crawford, who has become the epitome of flaming youth on the American screen, has even a great CT chance than ever before to play the happy-go-lucky modern girl
 born with a silver spoon in her
 mouth. As Valentine, the young
 lady living with her youthful
 mother, Pauline Frederick, and playing with her as if she was of her own generation, Miss Crawford lives a life in which restraint is a thing unknown.
 She has never known really
 serious moment until she meets Bob Blake, played by Neil Hamil- ton, a young American of high and | mighty ideals who falls in love
 with her and tries to make her
 give up her life of revelry. Un-
 til her meeting with him she has been playing around with another American boy of the typical play
 boy spirit, Monroe Owsley. He is not the marrying kind and cares
 only, ostensibly, for the pleasure of the moment.
 Bob's Bostonian parents visit in
 Paris and come to learn of the gay life their prospective daughter-in-
 law has been leading. Bob, who
 knows that Valentines mother has
 been stepping high, wide and fancy
 with a roue bachelor, insists that Valentine give up her friends and tells her that her mother won't do.
 This is too much for the girl and she breaks with Bob. Later she
 accedes to her play-boy friends re- quest and goes with him to a hotel
 in Brittany.
 It is the mothers frantic at tempt to prevent her daughter
 from making the same mistake she
 did which brings the tale to
 striking climax.
 The surrounding program is ex-
 cellent and popular Joe O'Keefe, at the console of the mighty Wur- litzer, has anothr tuneful offering entitled Melody Pictures"

"The Common LaW"-Garden
Charles Ruggles in "Girl
 Habit" Added Feature

The Bohemian life of the Paris art colony is said to be frankly Bennett's new RkO Pathe star ring film, "The Common Law, playing at the new Garder- Sunday. Monday and Tuesday. The action of the story unfolds against the glittering background of the Paris Latin Quarter and us studios, with the star portraylng model who poses for a young Am erican painter.
 Many of the scenes are played in a typical Paris studio. said to be authentic in every detail. while other action shows the world s most colorfuI revel, The Four Arts Ball in full swing. Five hundred players take part in the ball se- auence, ninety-four of them beau- tiful girls costumed in audacious outfits patterned after those worn by models at the Paris festival.
 Henry Give, internationally known painter who has studied in Paris, acted as technical director for the art colony sequences.
 Joel McCrea, the hero of Miss Bennett's last picture, Born To Love-" plays the American artist in "The Common Law" Other fea- tured roles are carried by Lew Cody, Marion milling, Robert Will Hams. Hedda Hopper, and Paul Ellis.
 The screen play of John Farrow is based upon the famous novel by Robert W. Chambers. Paul L. Stein directed.

 This farce-comedy by owen Da- wis and Gertrude Purcell puts Charlie right in the thick of a general attitude of attentiveness to all girls who come his way. The picture is filled with laugh-packed complications and hilarious situa- tions.
 Other pictures are Universal News and Kid the Kidder. a short comedy.

"The Common Law" the RKO Pathe picture starring Constance Bennett, coming Sunday to the Lyric theater, was adapted from the book by Robert w. Chambers.

RIGA. Photophone
 Now at Garden
Latest Sound Equipment Installed at East
 Main Theater

Manager Halliwell of the New Garden theater announced that he has just completed the installation of R. c. A. Photophone sound re- producing equipment and although the junking of the Sycrodisk equipment that has done duty the past year and the purchase of the new R. c. A. equipment meant the outlay of a good many thousand dollars. The change was gladly
 made in the interest of better sound for New Garden theater pa- irons.
 'It is with a great deal of satis- faction that make this announce ment," said Manager Halliwell. :. Having had many opportunities to see various types of sound re- producing equipment in operation in various theaters it did not take me long to come to decision when I saw and heard the K. C. A. Photophone projection apparatus in operation. In my opinion hav- ing made comparisons with other sound reproducing equipment, it is the best. The recent action of the United States government in awarding RIGA Photophone the contract to equip the entire navy with sound apparatus, entailing in the aggregate about three hundred complete projection units, which followed the installation of Photo phone in S1 United States army posts, seemed to confirm that opinion. Dependent solely upon those who have so literally pa- tronized my theater in the past, felt obligated to give them the best sound reproducing equipment available. Therefore, I investi- gated projection apparatus that has been installed and not only heard the sound delivered by them but carefully inspected the ma chimes in the projection rooms.
 When I learned that RIGA Photophone, Inc was a subsidiary of the Radio Corporation of Amer ica and that its own engineers along with the engineers of the General Electric company and the
 Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
 featuring company and the RIGA Victor company had built tho
 sound equipment I became con
 vinced that 1t was the apparatus
 for my theater."

Farrell, Gaynor
 at POli-P alace
Merely Mary Ann Brings
 Popular Stars to City

Whatever the reason, Janet Gaynor has the happy faculty of becoming more charming and more effective in every picture she makes.
 Her latest vehicle, Merely Mary Ann," is no exception to this rule. As the little drudge who blossoms out into an heiress she gives a genuinely remarkable performance and one that contrasts vividly with that of her famous co-star, Charles Farrell, as the sarcastic and bitter composer who learns, almost too late, what love is.
 At the risk of being mobbed by ardent Gaynor-Farrell fans, 1t must be stated that this famous team has acquired a polish, a fi- nesse, that makes their work even more enjoyable than in their earlier triumphs. Both players seem more sure of themselves, more sincere in their characteriza- tions. Showing at the Fox-Poll Palace Sunday for four days only.
 Merely Mary Ann" is a perfect vehicle for the two stars and Is perfectly played. Director Henry King daringly went beyond the usual field to choose the support ing players, which include the ever-delighted Beryl Mercer, J. M. Kerrigan and Arnold Lucy, among others. The authentic London settings and the sympathetic treat ment given Merely Mary Ann which is based on Israel Zangwilfs play of that name, make the re- sulting film sheer delight; You can't go wrong with Merely Mary Ann." .,,

Mr.. Eliot Returns

The most interesting literary
event of many years is the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Eliot, noted
above. The young man from
st. Louis who studied at Har-
ward, worked in a bank in Lon
don, and eventually became a
British subject. as part of his
conversion to the principle of
authority in literature, religion
and politics, was accepted some
10 years ago as the most influ-
entail Of Anglo-American poets
and critics. His influence was
important because it affected
powerful individuals, not because
he had hundreds of imitatorS.
His poem, THE Waste Land"
became the small, obscure
Bible of the intellectual part of
the younger generation. It
startled people because it was
issued with a whole battery of
notes, explaining references
and illusions and quotations in
tn text. 1t still is a fine poem.
Eliot has been under fire re.

thought he had shown them)
are angry because if he is lead
ing anywhere, it is backward.
"a good guide often has to do
this, just as a good timekeeper
often puts back the hands OF
the clock.) Eliot obviously does
not think that the present is
the most noble era in the his
tory of the world, and Is coldly
skeptical about our future. He
proposes to himself an attach
ment to older virtues. The
young men who ten years ago
thought Eliot was one Of them,
because he was man VINO
thought for himself, are disap-
pointed; and those who ,disliked
him from the start are just as
pleased to find him deserted by
his followers.
He has become a disciple,
himself, Of one of the Oldest
disciplines in the world, so sus-
pect that he is a little indiffer'
ent to his former followers.
And he still writes English
which is clear and compact and
full of ideas; and his poetry
has the rare quality Of being
modern and noble at the same
time. Harvard, which has not
been distinguished by it's public
moves in recent days, may yet
find that winning q poet can
make up for a losing football
