cooked. In stuffings, puddings, and
other recipes calling for buttered
crumbs, this method gives tastier re-
suits than placing dots of butter
here and there on the dish.
The idea that juices in canned
foods should be discarded is no long
er accepted. Practically all vege-
tables except tomatoes are canned
in slightly salted water, and fruits
in sirup, in order to fill the can and
assist in the proper cooking of the
product. During processing, val
liable minerals, sugars, and other
soluble materials dissolve in the
liquor. Discarding it means loss of
food material If it were harmful
the food that is kept in 1t would not
be lit to eat.

Sayings Of
POOR RICHARD, Jr.

(As Reported by Victor Rosewate.') }
1t proVeth itself again that, as in
business transactions, so also in
diplomacy, face-tO-face parleys
proceed more freely than long dis
tance negotiations.
Unique among daily journals, ye
may look for the Congressional
Record to resume publication
shortly without the aid or consent
of any press association, advertis-
ing agency, or circulation canvas
ser.
1t would seem that Washington hath
come gradually to stand out on
the world map in letters of equal
size to, if not bigger than, those
commanded by the most famed
European capital.
National budgets must attain bal
ance either by retrenchment, by
taxes or by borrowings and more
often, in times of severe BUSINESS
stringency, by combination of all
three.
Thrift and industry, it can not be
too frequently repeated, hold their
place as twin virtues even in our
fact-changing world.
All this talk about planned economy
emphasizeth anew the old saw
that hindsight ringeth truer than
foresight.

J LOVE BIRDS
REUNITED In
FOX FILM

Charles Farrell and Janet
Gaynor are reunited in THE
Man Who Came Back" at the
Fox this week.
This is glad tidings to roman
tically inclined movie-goers who
never could understand why the
successful love team ever was
broken up. Alone, Farrell proved
the ham" of the ham and egg
combination. Terrible" describes
some of his solo efforts, but play
ing alongside Janet Gaynor he
is indeed a man who came back.
But who wouldn't?
The current Fox film is not
exactly the kind we would have
chosen to rebuild the popularity
of the team. Whether the movie
public will take to Janet Gaynor
as a dope addict and Farrell as
a drunken bum is problematical,
even though they are very much
in love with each other and turn
out clean and respectable in the
final fade out.
Film Has Its Moments
But "The Man Who Came
Back" has it's moments, and they
reveal Janet Gaynor as her
sweetest self, Grooming voice and
all, and Farrell the handsome,
curly haired, likeable boy the
flappers dote on.
The scene shifts from the Fifth
Avenue home of one of New
York's richest bankers to the
cabarets of San Francisco, to an
opium den in Shanghai, to a
flower-bedecked love nest in
Honolulu and then back to Fifth
Avenue.
The Shanghai episode gives
Janet Gaynor an unusual oppor-
tunity to display her histrionic
ability, but is a little too over
drawn to suit the average taste.
Directed by Walsh
It is a Raoul Walsh picture
with Kenneth MacKenna and Ul-
rich Haupt prominent in the sup
porting cast.
The stage show is called Gems
and Jams" Jean Mcdonald, aero
batic dancer; Will Gowan and
the Sunkist Girls, in stunt on
wheels; Joe and Jane McKenna,
comedy team, and Wee Wong, a
Chinese ukelele player, are the
featured entertainers.
Bob West, at the organ, brings
back the good old days. while a
film of pre-war vintage is un-
reeled.

York run as we'll as a Philadel-
phia engagement of several weeks.
for a one-Week stay at the Belasco
Theater.
Those who have seen the pres.
ent edition say Leslie has even
surpassed his former effort in
the way of personnel, song num-
bers, comedy sketches and scenic
production. In lieu of his never
to-be-forgotten Olga, Olga, Do"
he has introduced another equally
wild and wierdly fantastic num-
ber, Mozambique" which is
danced with unparalleled speed
and rhythmic abandon by an
uneXcelled chorus of young speed
demons.
Choir Is Featured

Ethel Waters, who has gained
countrywide reputation as singer
and Comedienne of rare ability.
Also included in the company

picturesque pair of dancers the
theater has produced. They stop
the show at every performance.
Also, there is Cecil Mack's Black

The Criminal Code"
NeU Met Attraction

"The Criminal Code" the Mar
tin Flavin drama which was &C
corded many honors last season,
is the screen fare offered for
four days, beginning today at
Warner Brothers Metropolitan.
This drama, which shows how an
ambitious lawyer politician is
forced to choose between his duty
and the happiness OF his
daughter, is considered one Of the
outstanding photodramas of the
season.
Walter Huston, whose char
acterizations have brought him
no end of critical laurelS, appears
in the leading role. Phillip
Holmes is the young man whose
defense of a girl lands him in
prison where his siX-year sentence
nearly wrecks his morale and
life, while Constance Cummings
is the girl who achieves the boys
redemption. Others in the cast
include Dewitt Jennings, Ethel
Wales, Arthur Hoyt and Otto
Hoffman.
The attraction for the later
portion of the week, Wednesday
to Friday, February 4 to 6, in
elusive, will be The Princess and
the Plumber" the newest ro-
nance of Charles Farrell. Maui
reen O'Sullivan has the leading
feminine role in this out-and-out
love story. The usual short sub
iects round out each program.

Barrymore Opinion

When and if you see The
Royal Family" at Keith's this
week you will probably be i'm
pressed with the similarity be-
tween the screened incidents and
the publicized adventures in lives
Of the famous Barrymores. In
fact it is impossible to escape
the parallel.
John Barrymore who saw the
George Kaufman-Edna Ferber
play from which the picture is
derived is on record as liking it,
even getting a laugh out Of
broadly drawn character said to
resemble himself. He was a
pretty good sport about it all,
although he didn't think his
sister Ethel was treated any too
kindly by the playwrights.
Miss Ethel Barrymore never
consented to see the play. She
did see it in manuscript and was
hopping mad when a Caricature
|of what purported to be her
uncle, John Drew, turned up in
the action. Forthwith her pro,
test was registered and when the
play opened on Broadway this
Drew character was missing
incidentally she told me it does
not conform to the true history
CT the Barrymore family.

This and That

Analytical Gus says that Benny
Rubin at the Earle this week is
the kind of a comedian that Lou
Holtz tries to be. The only differ
ence being that Benny knows how.
'"Too funny for words" says
United Artists, will be the slogan
for Charlie Chapin's next picture,
"City Lights" which, as perhaps
you know, will have no words. Not
bad, at all. In fact, I'm stunned
into silence.
Among the hundreds of unem-
ployed actors who would love to
connect with the E Street payroll
of the National Players is Cleve
Moore, brother of Colleen. He is
a juvenile.

Doors Opening Early
For GGynOr-FdrreLL

With the coming of The Man
Who Came Back" which marks
the first joint appearance of Janet
Gaynor and Charles Farrell in
over a year, the local Fox Theatre
is opening its doors an hour sooner
on both Friday and Saturday!
Instead of the usual II

10 a. m. with the first showing
of the feature at 1920 a. m.
This. will be followed by what is
termed in theatre parlance, by
five deluxe performances includ-
ing the Fanchon & Marco Gems

his Music Masters in a special
overture and Bob West in his un-
usual inspiring organ presenta-
tions.

Healy's Show Weak

Ted Healys show, The Gangs
All Here" folds tonight in Phila-
delphia for revision. The Shu-
berts have poured a ton of money
into this one which, the critics
say, has a ton of talent and a
feeble book.
Ted Healy is a pretty good
comic but his material must be
cut to fit. His picture, Soup to
Nuts" made by Fox was pre-view
and then placed high up on the
shelf.
Incidentally Philadelphia is the
dark brown spot for producers
this season. With Scarlet Sister
Mary" Ethel Barrymore collected
less than $4,000 on her second
week. And it's her home city.

will begin their seventh annual
spring and summer season on
Easter Monday, April 6 at the
National Theater. This announce
ment was made yesterday by S.
E. Cochran, who sponsored this
celebrated company from its
very inception, making it one of
the outstanding repertoire organ
izations in America.
The seventh season of the play
ers is announced for ten weeks
on a subscription basis but no
doubt the popularity of the COM
pany will carry it far beyond this
allotted time if past engagements
are to be taken as criterion.
Elaborate palms are now being
formulated for the convenience
of the many subscribers who have
religiouSlly backed the Players in
their past six seasons.
Signing Up Actors
During the present legitimate
theatrical season many of the
National Players have come to
town with the so-called road at
fractions" and because so many
Of the players are tied up now
with winter contracts, the list of
the 1881 company is not yet
available, but Mr.. Cochran, whose
enthusiasm is higher than ever,
claims to have promise of ros-
ter comparable to any of the
past and even hints that the
new aggregation may be su-
perior.
In this respect, he has a large
order before him when it is to be
remembered that such sterling
actors at Minor Watson, now a
Belasco star, recently seen here
in the lead of TITS Wise
Child; Walter Gilbert, at pres
ent Miss Ethel Barrymore's lead
ing man; Rom aine Calender,
who is playing one of the lead
ing roles in New York's smash
hit, Grand Hotel";; Roger Pryor,
star of up Pops the DeviT';; Ed
ward Arnold, touring in support
of ALA Nazimova in "a Month
in the Country" Lenita Lane,
Leona Powers and many others
have trod the National stage as
members of his companies.
Brooke to Direct
1t is with great deal of pride
that Manager Cochran announces
that Clifford Brooke will again
direct the company. When Mr..
Cochran first engaged Mr.. Brooke
a prominent manager told him
that he was making a great mis-
take, "Mr. Brooke is a 'produc-
ton director and won't have the
plays ready till the week is almost
over" said the learned manager.
The fact that the "prompter's"
voice is never heard on opening
nights is the greatest tribute
that can be paid Mr.. Brooke and
his direction and production of
the plays presented in the six
years of the Players existence
speaks for itself. Mr.. Brooke has
just finished directing Jane Cowl's
latest vehicle, art and Mrs. Bot
tle," which is listed by the New
York reviewers as one of the
seasons successes.
Preparing Play List
The combination of S. E.
Cochran, manager, and Clifford
Brooke, director, has been so sue
ceSSful in past years that it has
elected editorial comment from
the New York theatrical depart.
ments and metropolitan news
papers and trade magazines. One
reviewer recently went so far as
to state that there has been no
organization like the National
Theater Players in this country
since the early days of the
theater, when stock stood su-
preme, and most of the great per-
formers of the past were in 1e-
pertoire.
At present Mr.. Cochran is
working on his list of plays to
be produced during the first 10
weeks Of the coming season.
