Secretary Hyde is full Of confidence
as to the future of American farmers.
THE going will be hard, but they
will get through all right. They are
beginning to understand the funda-
mental causes of their troubles. That
will go a long way in readjusting our
farming to a changing condition:
With those words the chief OF the
Agriculture Department today summed
up his view of the outlook now that
planting time is approaching. He
recommended diversification-the plant
ing of food and feed crops-as the
immediate way of meeting cash short
age on the farm. Doing as much OF
their own repair and home manufactur-
ing work as profitable was also recon-
mended to farmers.

whole. tends to be slightly more de-
pressing than is quite comfortable in
This day and age 1t has, however,
been worked out with care and con-
sideration by its sponsors who evi-
IDENTIFY believe that such theme will
be relished by the depressed public
at large. -,
The public" however, will find
that Mr. Barrymore's acting makes
up for whatever the picture lacks.
This la: is supplied by the per-
torrance of Phillips Holmes, who is
less than satisfactory as the French
man who went slightly insane when
he killed the young son of the Herr
Doktor during the last days Of the
war Mr.. Holmes does not seem
TO be able to get himself out OF that
great fog which surrounds most
of his acting. and which seems, at
times. as though 1t were breaking,
though it never quiet does. Miss
Carroll, too. is unexcltlng as the
fiance of the boy who was killed, but
that, perhaps is due to the brevity
of her role.
The story of the young French
man who went to Germany to con-
fess what he thought was his great
crime (the killing of the German in
the war; to the family whom he
felt he had thus wronged and who
hadn't the courage to tell them once
he got there, is a curious tale, far
out of the usual pale of movie yarns.
1t is a grim little story, told some
times with great force by Mr.. Barry
more, and by Mr. Lubitsch when he
does not have to rely too heavily on
some of his players. One might say,
in fact, that with certain substitu-
tions in the cast this might have
been one of the finest pictures of
the year. AS it stands now. it almost
is-but isn't. E. de S. MELCHER.

Polly Of the Circus"
At LOew's Palace Theater.

ONE of the classics Of the stage,
" Polly of the Circus" takes it's
place in the cinema world, with the
production starring Marion Davies
and Clark Gable, now offered at
Loew's Palace Theater. 1t Is quite
likely that Miss Davies has had few
roles more satisfactory than this one
dealing with the love affair of
trapeze performer and a clergyman,
who is first denounced by the spirited
young woman for draping her pic
lures on the billboards, but who
then takes care of her when she has
had an accident in the big tent.
Popular approval of this play orig
mated chiefly in the unusual traits
OF the circus performer, who devel-
oped somewhat Unconditional meth
cd of dealing with the public. while
possessing the finer traits of per-
son of sensibility. The contrast be-
a tween The two pictures of the same
personality is effective on stage and
screen. and Miss Davies, with
straightforward method and mobile
countenance, finds particularly
congenial part in the Polly. who
finally wins the approval of the
church leaders, after they have con-
Gemned the young clergyman for
marrying the trapeze artist.
Clark Cables part in the play
brings to him new personality,
which impresses, as he presents the
varying fortunes of the young clergy
man, and gives picture of the type
which has been common in litera-
ture, but which has been rare on
stage and screen.
Many circus scenes are made pos
sible by the use of the camera, thus
adding materially to the possibilities
that existed when Polly was play
ed on the stage. Some fine trapeze
work is made prominent in the ac-
tion.
The stage performance at the
Palace brings AL Wohlman once
more into action, with some musical
selections. in addition to his direc-
ton of the program. Acts display
ing much skill include Mulroy Nc
Neece and Ridge, who skate and
dance and reach high point, while
Berenoff and Charlotte are leaders
in dancing and adagio Wynn
Wayne sings characteristic songs,
Darlene Walders also dances. and
Victor and his Pals offer dog act.
Zasu Pitts and company present a
comedy film which is most effective
as a result of the distinctive methods
of Miss Pitts. D. C. c.

Impatient Maiden"
Pleasing at the RiaIto.

a PLAUSIBLE story of sustained
interest and good taste is told
in The Impatient Maiden" which
opened yesterday at the Rialto The
ater. Lew Ayres and Mae Clarke, in
the leading roles, are provided with
an excellent medium for their recog-
niZed talents in clear-cut dramatic
action. Both have natural endoW-
ments and well defined personalities,
which give character to the story
they have been selected to unfold.
Mr.. Ayres has been before the
public as a leading film actor for
several years, and in practically
every instance his assignment has
been worthy of his talents. That
tradition is maintained in the pres
ent offering at the Rialto, in which
he is starred, while Miss Clarke
steps into a featured leading role,
with a notable display of versatility
in emotional lines and the more
normal contacts, IN a manner dis
tinctly pleasing Other featured
players are Una Merkel, who is being
cast more and more for humorous
results; John Halliday, Andy Devine,
Oscar APPEL and Bert Roach.
One unusual scene presented Is
the operating room of hospital, in
which a case of appendicitis has
reached the climax. AS a piece OF
realism it is unusual, involving every
detail of the action in saving the
life of the woman. who has col
lapsed under an acute attack.
The story concerns the attraction
between Miss Clarke, a divorce law
yer's stenographer. and Mr.. Ayres,
who is taking his preliminary course
in medicine and has had some hos
pital practice. They are brought
into contact, first as strangers, in
connection with a suicide case, but
separate under a misunderstanding
when it is agreed that marriage is
impossible because of the mans lack
of an adequate income. Various mis-
understanding follow, particularly
when the woman accepts a costly
apartment from her employer, but
the quarrel is settled when the
young doctor saves her life.
The Rialto also has Babe Ruth
base ball picture, circus crime
story and the news reel D. c. c.
