Comedy Note Dominates Latest Screen Offerings
FOX HAS GALA
SHOW ON TAP
THIS WEEK

Washington's Fox Theater nad
it's birthday in September and
does not go in for festivals, so we
can only say that the current
show at that playhouse may be
termed a fitting celebration to
either occasion.
On the screen is the very blonde
Dorothy Mackaill (of London,
EnglandD in a rather spicy little
drama, titled "Once a Sinner"
You know, of course, that the in
ference is that once a sinner al
ways a sinner is the favorite of
the reformers; Dot, however,
proves that one can turn the cor
ner and yet find the way back
home.
She is one of those easiest
way" advocates until she meets a
sweet, clean young boy and mar
ries him, but not until she has
told him everything except the
other mans name. The BOY is
satisfied to forget everything eX-
cept that Dot is his wife and he
loves her.
Then disaster in the form of a
trip to New York upsets all the
plans for happiness for Dot is
recognized as the good-fellow she
was at all the rapid-pace spots IN
town; misunderstanding fellows
and the continual nagging of the
husband for the name of the
man drives Dot to desert and
take up the only decent way she
has of making living, modelling.
Impresses FavOrably
Other men come into her life
while she is waiting for her hus-
band to find her and take her
home in spite of everything and
for a long time you wonder if
he will; even in the end he isn't
very convincing, but Dot wanted
only her man and she gets him
so it's all right!
Dot gets excellent support from
Ilka Chase and John Halliday
but Joel McCrea has a lot to
learn. Dot impressed me more
favorably in this latest screening
than in the "Office Wife," but
then she had more to do in this
effort.
On the Stage is the Fanchon-
Marco idea Green Devil" and a
bevy of little devils, rather scan
tily clad, dance about the set.
The voice of fate, Rita Lane,
opens the show which features
the very agile and entertaining
Peg Leg Bates; Bobby Gilbert, a
rapid Taper; Miles and Kovar,
an adagio duo who have at least
two new tricks; Mel Elwood and
his talking violin and the Harvey
KarelS, acrobats.
Bob West at the organ is cheer
leader for the gang in the audi
ence and gets excellent response;
Mr.. Brusiloff and the boys in the
orchestra render a lovely tribute
to Gen. Robert E. Lee. Fox
Movietone News takes us places
and one of those ever amusing
Mickey Mouse cartoons adds to
the merriment.-K. Y.

Dangerous Jokes

Collins and Peterson, heading
the stage show at Loew's Palace
this week, ran afoul of the New
York law which makes it serious
business to joke about bank or
reflect upon it's financial integrity.
What they said in speaking of
their wealth was they put it in a
bank and "got run for their
money"
The comics were hauled up be-
fore the State attorney-generaPs
office and warned to cease and
desist forthwith. They did.
Which reminds that George
Jessell had a joke line in Sweet
and Low" which refers to a Wall
Street firm. When first delivered
he was served with a warning
AID later an Injunction to silence
the fest. Whereupon Jessel agreed
to taks the joke out but to re-
Mace 4 with a statement from
The stag explaining why it was
taken 81 After considering it
from eve angle the decision was

STARS PROFIT
BY MOVIE
WARFARE

Paramount and Warner Brothers
who waste little love on each
other may start another war for
the stars which will bring back
the $4,000 a week Hollywood
salaries believed a relic Of the
past.
Warner Brothers have reached
out and signed Ruth Chatterton
effective in October when her
Paramount contract expires. Will
liam Powell and George Bancroft
are others Of Paramount fame
due to sign up with the oppoSi-
ton.
Other rumors have Joan Craw-
ford flirting with alluring offers
from Metro oldwyn rivals and
considering changing bosses.
Was a time, and only recently,
when it was considered high
treason to negotiate with a star
under contract. But the demand
for box office names may change
all CAlS.
Along F Street the belief is that
Clara Bow will stick to Para
mount. There is a "must-be-good"
clause Il. her Paramount contract
but il the lates. adventure which
H.; brought her into the + ,ad-
lines, the Flatbush flapper is rated
as more sinned against than sin
ming. Besides there are compan-
les ready to sign her up and cash
on the reputation and prominence
she enjoys with movie goers. No
build up is necessary. Another
t. ,...ag is that every director who
hes worked with La Bow feels
she has the makings Of a great
actress when she gets around to
t. life and her job seriously.

Critics Divide

George Kelly's play, Phillip
Goes Forth" which pleased sbout
everybody who saw it in Wash
ington last week, drew indifferent
notices from the Broadway critics.
While Philip Rarry's play, ITO
morrow and Tomorrow" which
languished at our Belasco Theater
and rang up a miserable money
week, it was universally praised by
the same New York critics.
Only time will tell who is right,
but I would be inclined to back up
local opinion inasmuch as most of
the New York reviewers who smirk
at Phillip Goes Forth" were
among those who once voted Earl
CAROLS Sketch Book" a first
class revue.

street Scene Coming
To d. C.. in February

street Scene" the now famous
drama Of city life coming to the
Shubert-Belasco Thcater next
month, has not only proved a
great popular success, but has
been acclaimed one of the finest
American dramas
It had a Broadway run of 600
performances, and was awarded
the Pulitzer Prize. It is on record
that six Broadway producers re-
jected the manuscript before FL
mer Rice submitted his manu-
script to William A. Brady, who
read it one night and contracted
for production next morning.

George Middleton
StOru Is OriQiT10l

Writing an original story for
the screen and then following it
by writing the screen play, con
tinuity and dialogue constitutes
what might well be called man
size job.
George Middleton, Fox studio
executive and successful stage
playwright, accomplished all of
that in "Once A Sinner" a Fox
Movietone production directed by
Guthrie McClintic and featuring
Dorothy Mackaill as a girl who
took one false step, regretted it
and especially when she met and
married a young chap who was
the first love of her life.
"Once A Sinner" is the feature
of the program at the Fox Thea,

Columnist- Actors


This little jaunt into vaudeville
whereby Walter Winchell cashed
a $500 check for weeks work
at the R-K-O Palace Theater has
given other columnistS ideas. So
we read that last week Bide Dud-
ley of the New York Evening
World, was discovered trying out
for the two-a-day scouts with an
act that will have melody as well
as the Dudley humor.
And George MacKinnon, col
urnnist for the Boston American,
has just completed d week as
master of ceremonies at the Scol-
lay Square Olympia thereby swell
ing his bank account $500.

Eddie Robinson Made
His Rep as Bad Man

Edward G. Robinson, who plays
the title role in Little Caesar"
has played so many underworld
characters for the screen that fans
who would ordinarily run the pro-
verbal mile to see G movie star
now run the opposite way.
Robinso.l is as bad-or as good
as ever as Rico, the gangster,
without a heart in Little Caesar"
now at Warner Brothers Earle

Coolidges on Stage

americas Sweetheart" the
new Schwab and Mandel musical
headed for the National Theater,
might quite properly be supposed
to concern Mary Pickford, who
has some professional claim to
that title, but it's not about Mary,
It does touch upon Hollywood and
among the characters introduced
in a Gold Coast scene are the
stage prototypes of Mr.. and Mrs,
Calvin Coolid-e.

Belasco Gets Surprise

One of the pleasant little sur
prises of a drab theatrical sea-
son was the way Washington took
the English play, Bird In Hand"
to its heart. The engaging Drink
water drama rolled up 19,400 in
10 performances at Lafayette
Square which happens to be more
than Ethel Barrymore in Scarlet
Sister Mary" and Ed Wynn with
the pretentious Simple Simon"
took away from Washington. All
of which explains why Manager
L. Stoddard Taylor has been
using his best offices to have
Bird in Hand" back for re-
turn engagement.

ELEMENT CLAIM
SUPPORTED

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 16 GIN.
SD.-Testimony in confirmation
of DR.. Fred Allison's contention
that he discovered element "87"
10 months before DR.. Jacob
Papish, of Cornell University, was
volunteered here today by DR.. J.
L. McGhee, head of Emory Uni
verSity's biochemiStry department.
DR.. McGhee said he had just
completed analysis of the same
liquid solutions in which DR.. Alli-
son claimed to have detected ele-
ment "87" prior to February,
1880. DR.. Papish announced dis
covery of the same element last
month. DR.. McGhee reported
today:
Careful check of the Allison
solutions revealed that element
"87" was present in varying
quantities in each tube.
81 am a chemist, not physi-
ciSt, as DIR. Allison is, so 1 sub
jected his magnetO-Optic detec-
ton method to the most rigid
requirements of qualitative
analysis.
"Dr. Allison certainly discOy-
cred element "87," just as he
discovered element "85," which
he announced last Tuesday"

FENCE HELD

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16
.N.SD.-Mystery today shrouded
the theft of $4,000 in bonds from
a Philadelphia bank, disclosed by
the arrest Of a suspected fence"
in Richmond, Va.
Police refused to divulge the
name of the victinized institution
in the hope of tracing the unre-
covered loot.
A strange coincidence with this
theft was an announcement by
the Philadelphia Savings Fund
Society, one of Philadelphia S
largest banks, that there was a
discrepancy of 100000 in cash in
a shipment of currency from the
Federal Reserve Bank.
Officials of the bank denied
any relation between the theft
of the bonds and the cash dis
crepancy.
The Richmond suspect, David
N. Chadick, At, well-to-do broker
and former finance commissioner
of Wilmington, N. c., had $4,000
of the stolen securities in his
possession when arrested.
