RIALTo-"Doomed Battalion. +"

FOLLOWING its gala world premiere
at the Rialto Theater Friday,
the new war epic, THE Doomed
Battalion" is continuing its Washing
ton run at regular Rialto prices.
Critics who saw its pre-view on the
Pacific Coast hailed it as the 1882 edi-
ton of "All Quiet on the Western
Front" although the two pictures pre-
sent totally different phases of war
The comparison refers especially to the
uncanny dramatic value of both pic
tures-the one a tale Of France and
. the German lines; the other, "The
Doomed Battalion" giving picture of
little known part of the struggle.
The scene of this Luis Trenker story
of The Doomed Battalion" is laid in
the Dolomite Alps. White-capped
peaks, bnzzards, avalanches, ski-footed
troops and dangerous passes are ele-
ments Of the drama.
Tala Birell of Max Reinhardt's Ber-
lin Theater plays the leading role and
Victor Varconi and Luis Trenker play
chief supporting roles. Cyril Gardner
directed "The Doomed Battalion and
his achievement is described as some
thing of rare beauty, memorable action
and uncanny strength.
