ERROLL MUSHRUSH, manager

This was the first time that have
seen Merivals. He is great actor
in a real show. Any show would
have that element which puts pants
on old man Death.
And that is just what happens
in this play. Death takes on hu-

of the Duke of Lambert.
Death in assuming human form
for three days and three nights
DEGREES that noting shall die, not
even the flowers, during his vaca-
ton from his work.
He wants to find out three things
Why do humans fear him? What
is love? And what do humans really
think of him.
He finds out the answers to the
three questions, but it is love that
nearly wrecks him. I certainly got
a weird feeling when Giraffe, a beau
full girl, falls in love with him, not
knowing that he is Death.
And in the end, the cold hand OF
death takes her with him, probably,
as he states "for her to sleep in the
earth" But she goes.
Merivale does a great piece OF
work in most uncanny and I'M
natural role. He gave me the creeps
but it was great acting. The work
of Julian Royce as Duke Lambert
and that Of Wallace Erskine as the
baron were equally fine.
Another interesting experiment IN
the theater that we have lost.

HUSTON HEADS
CAST AT APOLLO

Very few people realize with what
rapidity and accuracy the prison
ers in all state penitentiaries flash
important news to their fellow con-
victs. They have a method which
enables them Immediately to COM
municate information over the en-
tire prison in the space of a few
moments
This system consists Of tapping
with metallic object against the
wall of the cell or the framework of
the cots. Practical employment Of
the system is seen to particular adj
vantage in the epic of prison life,
THE Criminal Code which opened
at the Apollo theater today.
In this picture a new and de-
spised warden comes into power.
Every one in the prison knows of
his presence within fifteen minutes
Of his arrival, even those in the
inclosed basement dungeons.
"The Criminal Code" is replete
with romance and action. It is q
poignant love story-the seeming
hopeless love Of a youthful convict
for the warden's daughter. Two
riots, a jail break, and many other
startling scenes are featured. Wal
ter Huston is starred. He is sup
ported by brilliant cast including
Phillips Holmes, Constance Cum
mings, Boris Karloff, Arthur Hoyt,
Mary Doran and many others.
Howard Hawks directed.
Vitaphone varieties including the
third Of Ripley's Believe It or Not"
series, and Crying for Caroline"
and Fox Movietone news round out
the program.

MARIE AND POLLY
NOW AT THE PALACE

Fun in a Beauty Parlor' might
easily be a substitute title for "Re-
ducing," the new Marie Dressler-
Polly Moran coLstarring comedy
which will head the bill at the Pal
ace theater starting Saturday.
In the same manner that the
stock market served as the subject
Of fun in the successful Caught
Short" so are beauty parlors, their
proprietors and their patrons used
as the subject of the lampoons in
the new attraction.
The story revolves about two sis
tiers, Polly Roach, who has become
the successful New York beauty spe-
cialist, Nine. Rochay," and Marie,
wife Of a small-town mail carrier,
portrayed by Lucian Littlefleld.
Fun begins when Marie piles her
husband and three children, includ-
ing Anita Page, on to a Pullman car
EN- route to visit Mime. Rochay.
The scenes which ensue will be
familiar to those who have been
in sleeping cars when a large fam
lily boarded the train in the middle
of the night at some way-station.
Further humor is evolved when
Marie becomes an employe in Pol
ly's beauty establishment. mex
perienced with the various devices,
she has the place in an uproar
when she pulls the wrong levers
and almost kills the customers by
numbering manipulation of the
various reducing machines. The
laugh episodes reach their climax
when In Polly's absence Marie tries
to show the place to two inspectors
from the health department.
Polly returns to find chaos in her
beauty parlor while her efforts to
unscramble the tangle only make it
worse and the uproarious sequence
ends with Polly being hurled into
a mud bath in all her f1nery.
The underlying drama is provided
by the growth of jealousy between
Anita Page and Polly's spoiled
daughter, played by Sally Eilers,
last seen opposite Buster Keaton in
Dough Boys"
A. wealthy young man, William
Collier Jr., complexities the affair by
interposing himself in a romance
between Miss Page and William
Blackwell.
When the affair reaches a climax,
Marie steps into the breach and
consunmates tunultuous midnight
marriage-but to outline the rest
of the story would be giving away
too much of the plot.
Other films comprising the bal
ance Of the program will include a
Metro Goldwyn Mayer Colortone
Revue, 1.-THE Snappy Caballero," the
Hearst Metrotone News Pictorial, a
Flip the Frog cartoon novelty and
a curiosity subject.

ROYAL FAMILY"
NOW AT THE CIRCLE

The Circle theater opens today
with the Paramount all-talking pic
ture, 1.-THE Royal Family of Broad
way" A good-natured satire on the
eccentricities Of distinguished
theatrical family of the stage and
the screen, the film is adapted from
the swift and gay Broadway stage
success that was written by Edna
Ferber and George S. kaufman. It's
original title was 1.-THE Royal
Family"
In the leading role of the picture
is Fredric March. He plays Tony
Cavendish, younger brother of the
famous family with which the story
is concerned.
Ina Claire is co-starred as Julie
Cavendish, his older sister, a char
acter obviously patterned after the
foremost actress Of the legitimate
stage.
Mary Brian enacts jules daugh-
ter. Gwen Cavendish, who is plan
ming to make her debut on the stage
with her mother when the picture
action begins.
Fanny Cavendish, the Iovable,
tyrannical grandmother, who con-
sistently seeks to uphold the fam
ily's stage traditions, is portrayed
in the film by Henrietta Crosman.
Charles Starrett, formerly with
Stuart Walker here in "Nightstick"
and other plays, has an important
role as the young man who tries to
urge the Cavendish daughter to give
up the idea of stage career.
Arnold Korff is seen as Oscar, the
Cavendish manager of many years.
Frank Conroy inpersonates the
twenty-years-before sutton of Julie
Cavendish. The picture has been
directed by George Cukor and Cyril
Gardner.
Briefly, the play on the screen
deals with eventful lives of the
family OF actors. The young brother
who has deserted the stage temper
arily for Hollywood becomes in
volved whit Polish cinema actress
and also with a director whom he
strikes during an argument. His
efforts to avoid tabloid reporters
and process-servers create conster-
nation in the Cavendish household.
simultaneously, the older sister
hesitates over a proposal of mar
riage, her young daughter forsakes
the stage to marry a stock broker
and then forsakes him for the stage,
and the grandmother embarks on
road tour to keep the Cavendish
name before the public.
The Circle is also offering a Dale
Young organ solo entitled Melody
A La Carte" three short comedy
films, and a Paramount sound news
reel.
