Recitalist Mt
Friday Morning Club.

SOMETHING rather different from
~ the usual run of such things
took place yesterday at the Friday
Morning Music Club. Miss Anita
Schade. famed exponent OF the re-
citalists' school, and an adept thes-
plan in the manner of the classic
tragedians, stood before a moderate
sized group of morning music wor-
shippers. and, accompanied by Crete
Won Bayer at the piano, bespoke
poetry in German and in English.
Although she translated, at the out
set, such familiar works as Uhlands
The Castle by the Sea-" her actions
were so glib and her gestures SO
eloquent that even those who are
mute in Teuton languages must have
realized the gist Of what was going
on. Later she turned to the more
local tongues, and, for instance.
undertook that Elizabeth Barrett
Browning sonnet, How 1 Do Love
Thee" which seems TO have taken
on a new significance since Miss
Katherine Cornell and her play
came to town.
Crete Won Bayer played a group
OF Schumann, Chopin'S "Raindrop
Prelude" and "Gavotte." by Evers.
She played, too, a composition Of
her own, which had marked grace
and was extraordinarily pleasant TO
near. E. de S. NJ.

Hound of BaskervilIes"
Shown at Metropolitan.

~
EXTERNALLY popular as the model
- for all wise detectives, Sherlock
Holmes, with the assistance of DR..
Watson. solves the mystery of the
BaskerVilles in the picture on the
screen at the Metropolitan. In por-
trayal Of the chief character, Robert
Rendel depicts Holmes as less
forCeful character than might be
expected Fred Lloyd as Dr. Watson
displays that understanding Of his
position as secondary to the chief
that Conan Doyle has ever main
tanned
Visible progress in catching the
criminal of the play is made pos
sible by the nature Of the story,
which is not too submerged by the
thoughtful nature of the detectives
CUSTOMARY method. There are per-
sonal encounters, thrilling strug-
gle on the housetop. with a fall
through a skylight. and the high
climax of the hunt for the offending
dog. with the final shooting of the
animal.
As a theatrical Offering it has
superficial merit in the unfolding of
mystery story, and introduces some
unusual characters. John Stuart, as
Sir Henry, the last of the Basker-
Vllles. presents a character wholly
appropriate to the position that is
occupied by Sir Henry, and gives
dignity and the quality of alertness
to the role. Three women in the
company. Heather Angel. Sybil Jane
and Elizabeth Vaughan, are we'll
cast for reluctant participants in a
story of criminal intent to employ
death as a means of turning the
Baskerville wealth over to a black
sheep in the family.
In addition to the chief picture
the Metropolitan offers several short
hlmS. chief among which is one
showing Joe Penner as an imitation
toreP dor. with numerous grotesuue
deVeicpments which serve to display
The brand of humor that is always
associated with the name of this

"The Wet Parade"
In Second Week at Columbia.

~ amples of cinema art, The Wet
Parade" now standing them up for
a second week at LoeW'S Columbia,
Is a great big spectacle based on the
Sinclair book and leveled against
that old demon alcohol. A gaudy
panorama of various sections Of
life which have suffered from swing
ing doors and the drinking varnish
now floating through metropoliSeS,
it purports to show that that last
quart you bought is likely to be
poison-and that if you drink it you
may no longer see the bees and the
trees and the other phenomena OF
nature which you have taken for
granted all your life. A swift, two
hour melodrama, 1ull of alcoholic
fumes and the pounding Of insecure
feet, it brings its message home with
a bang, and a tear and an occasional
smile, and reduces the average
patron to pulp before its full mission
has been spoken
Although some audiences may pre-
fer not to watch the spectacle Of
bottles being filled with current
stimulation, they cannot but help
admire the acting on the part of
Walter Huston and various other
members of an expert cast, who vie
with each other as to who has had
the most drinks. Miss Dorothy
Jordan, too, is excellent as the off,
spring of a particularly virulent
inebriate, and so is Robert Young
and Mr. Jimmy (Schnozzle) Durante
is the chief funster as the Gov
eminent agent whose war cry is II
have million of them!" They all
do their utmost for a film which is
unexpectedly stirring at moments
and which is never one jot nor one
whit uninteresting. E. de S. M.
