Thrills Of Racing
In RiaIto's s
Comedy

Racing YOUTH" at the Ri.
alto, is not what you might call
a vital picture. 1t teaches no
lesson, nor does it portray any
significant problem. The title
does not refer to. modern youth
racing to destruction, or any
thing serious like that.
It is just a pleasant story
Of an ambitious boy who encoun-
ters few difficulties In building
a crack racing car and acquiring
a wife. He succeeds in both and
the picture ends very happily
with villainy thwarted and true
love victorious.
The young chap is Frank AL.
bertSon, who is somewhat Of the
James Cagney type. He proves
very nkeable as the ambitious
young racing-car designer.
The highlight of the picture
is the championship race over
a dirt track, in which Albertson
drives his own car to victory.
The race is marked by exciting
driving featS and thrilling spills.
Two of the beSt,known comic
characters in FINLAND are fea-
tured in Racing Youth" Slim
Summerville as the suffering
automobile mechanic provides
most of the laughs. Louise
Fazerda is cast as the spinSter
companion Of the beautiful girl
with whom the hero Of the
piece has become stricken. One
Of the best comedy scenes is
when these two are thrown to-
gether as partners at q recep
ton. They make a great comedy
team,
If you do not get enough
laughs out Of the feature attrac-
ton you will find sufficient in
the Andy Clyde short comedy.
Andy is cast as the middle-aged
night-watchman just married to
a beautiful young girl. This film
is one continuous laugh.
An enjoyable animated cartoon
and the Universal Newsreel COM

AFTER TOMORROW" SENTIMENTAL
Barrymore Boys
Make This Film
Rare Treat

Once in a blue moon comes q
play on stage or screen which
is superlative entertainment by
reason of the sheer artistry of
the players rather than any
strength or originality of story
Such a rare treat is "Arsene
Lupin," playing currently st
Loew's Palace and starring
jointly the famous Barrymore
boys.
Detective Story
There is nothing new to the
plot of "Arsene Lupin";; the
story of the master thief, his
gay adventures, his games of
hide-and-Seek with the police, and
his eventual capture by the
cleverest detective in all Paris
(sometime the locale is differ
ent) has been done before and
will probably be done again, it
remains for the MesSrs. John
and Lionel Barrymore to make
a screen event out Of this new
telling of an old, exciting tale,
There will be clashes among
the devotees of the two Barry
mores as to relative merit, su-
premacy of technique and simi.
lar phases, and each clan will
claim victory, but our private
(and public) opinion is that the
two most celebrated brothers on
the screen find a new and ex-
citing game in thus putting an
histrionic inheritance to the test.
They're both grand and their
efforts act as an incentive to
all other members Of the cast.
Karon Morley is charming, John
MILAN and Tully Marshall
(you'll hardly recognize Tully)
turn in excellent performances.
Radio Is Initiated
The stage offers Impressions
of 1892" a series Of limitations
of popular radio stars, headed
by Walter "Dare" Wahl, great
favorite here. walter shares the
spot with Freddy Bernard, who
acts as m. c. and also "Cantor's";
Paul Small initiating another

but suffering from a cold; Benny
johnson, who taps in the man
ner of Bill Robinson; frankie
Finn as Russ Columbo-B1ng
Crosby-Morton Downey, and the
Chester Hale Girls, whose Win
chell number was most amusing.
There is the customary news

Broken Lullaby"
Held over at Met

Broken Lullaby" holds over for
a second week at the Metropolis
tan Theater beginning today.
This picture, masterfully di.
rected by Ernst Lubitsch, pre-.
sents a powerful argument against
war, graphically screened and
beautifully acted by q cast which
includes Lionel Barrymore, Nancy
Carroll and Phillips Holmes in
the principal roles. It is somber
even as war and it's beQueSts are
never cheerful, but its story has
been so forcefully told the mar
rative grips almost from the
opening sequence.
Director Lubitsch, genius in
the art of subtle suggestion and
camera technique, was never bet
ter, adorning Broken Lullaby"
with human touches that ham
mer home his theme. The act
ing of Lionel Barrymore is really
exceptional. Broken Lullaby" is
a rare artistic achievement.

Elmer Rice's screen drama.
Farrell and Nixon
Charles Farrell and Marion
Nixon play the young lovers
whose matrimony is distressingly
delayed because of family obliga.
tions. The boy has to support
his doting mother, who happens
to be a jealous nagger, resentful
Of any attention he gives his
sweetheart. The girl has a shift
less, cheating mother, whose per-
fidy causes her father to have a
stroke. So the nest egg being
gathered for the wedding is ap-
piled to hospital bills and such,
and Mendellsohn's march is put
off. In the end they manage to
get to Niagara Falls.
Those who like Charlie Farrell,
and I confess I am among the
number-will be pleased with his
acting in this appealing role.
Marion Nixon makes only a fair
but comely substitute for the coy
and cuddling Janet Gaynor-the
usual Farrell partner-in a char
acter heavily frosted with whole
some qualities. Minna Gombell
does well with an ungrateful part
and William Collier, ST., wins SYM

Josephine Hull played broadly d
maternal character written close

The SunkiSt beauties have orig

of this gayety delivered against
a colorful minstrel background.
Fox Movietone has some great
warfare shots and there
is a Paramount short comedy, so
gosh awful, it makes one wonder
whether the movies have pro-

I know .somethin' about him.
Of course, I do say that he
amt the easiest employer in
the world and that I deserved
every penny he paid me, but

him."
Another patient shifted.
Seems a little strange to
me, Bert" he muttered. Here

week and he amt even been
around to see you, or nothing"
Bert shrugged his shoulders
"You gotta understand" he
asserted, that the doctors a
very busy man. He'll be around
all right. He even owes me a
few dollars, and 1 know he
wouldn't let much time go by
without payin' me. He'll be
here SOON. Just watch and

The veterinary acknowledged
the introduction with one Of
those sweeping bows that went

duster. Then he turned back to
the sick man.
"Bert," he doomed, "you

It's been to attempt to replace

 THIS EVENING
.Washburn, zaryn0ff, Man-
 ish and Others on New Haven Card

Now Haven, Nov 29-One of the most colorful aggregations of wreStlers ever to be assembled in one ring on the same card, will be trotted out by Promoter Jim Dow ming for public inspection at the Arena here tonight. Topping of this all-star array in the main fin- ish event will be 'Gentleman" Jack Washburn, Boston bully, and George Manish, Jersey Jugo Slav, who is quite capable of caring fer himself in the ring.
 The semi final finish fray will put on display Count George Zary- noff, popular Russian acrobatic sen- sation and George Hagen, of Nor walk. Four stars, all new to mat action on Downing's supporting battle bill. Wong Book aCheung, Chinese chopper, will face Charley Hanson, of Minnesota, in the spe- cial, 30-minute match, marking Cheung's local debut. M
 Umberto Arpino, new Italian title contender who has created a sem sation in New York by his brilliant work. will tackle Joe Maynard, Texas "Terror" in one of the time limit bouts that will show both of them here for the first time. The other time limit matchs will bring together Sandor Szabo, Hungarian Adonis, and Charles Webb. U. s. Marine matman. who also. will be debutting on the card.
 With this brilliant array of wrest- ling talent at absolutely no increase in prices, 1t appears that a bumper crop of fans will turn up at the Arena for their weekly quota of grappling and grinmacing. The last time that Washburn and Ma insh collided. the "Gentleman" was forced to post big cash bond be- fore entering the ring. He then won when Manish's left eye was badly cut in the battle. sss ,,,
