Doctor X" at Earle,
Is Interesting Drama.
I MYSTERY story VIII

A MYSTERY story which justifies
the inference of it's title, Doc
tor X" is the new screen offering
at Warmers Earle Theater, with the
able legitimate star, Lionel Atwill, in
the title role. Thrills there are
aplenty, with murders committed in
an atmosphere profusely charged
with situations sufficiently terroriZing
to produce that faint feeling, which,
paradoxically, effects some of the
ity, even in the presence of make
believe" is induced so effectively
that on more than one occasion
muff1ed gasp became an audible
Shrek, thus attesting how well the
eerie story registered with numerous
patrons.
Speculation on the traditional, or
legendary, mental reaction of some
humans in the silvery glare of a full
moon provides the genesis of the
plot. Scientific study of the pre-
tension that mems minds are af-
fected, and that in instances they
become insane, is projected as hy-
pothesis in the solution of a series
of murders committed under re-
peated singular circumstances. The
figure of violent death walks under
sky illumined by celestial beauty as
sociated with more happy phase
of life, and this screen interlude
throws a cold chill upon romance.
Peculiar circumstances under which
the homicides have been committed
throw suspicion upon members of an
academy of medical research, headed
by DR.. x. The story's ramif1-
cations incriminate not only the
doctor, but all members of his fac
ulty, as well as a servant of his
household. In the atmosphere pro-
duced by experimentation employ
ing a maze of scientific equipment,
with the effect of labyrinth ad-
mirably portrayed, the mystery is
intensified all the while, and the
climax finely approached so well, in
fact, that we wouldn't dare drop
an intimation which might spoil
your fun. Save for obvious trans
gresSion toward the end, upon the
precincts of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" this is story which merits
the designation of genuine thriller
and to which originality in plot
and excellence of presentation are
generously attributed
Lionel Atwill displays to fine ad-
vantage the excellent quality of his
acting in the most opportune role
given him since his transfer to the
screen, lending through dignif1ed
restraint a convincing effect to his
Characterization.
Relief for taxed nerves is afforded
in the comedy of Lee Tracy, who
manages to run true to type as a
stage reporter. His assignment to
cover the murder leads him into
many escapadeS, through which he
succeeds in punctuating the tense
story with much welcome drollery.
Fay Wray is handsomely decorative
in feminine support, while Preston
Foster, Arthur Edmund and numer-
Gus others sustain a uniform high
standard of acting.

however. there is a "break." One

Merton" Comes Back
At the Metropolitan.

IAb thC IACtlOPVhsdh
UNTERTON OF THE MOVIES"
4'A is back again, but this time
under a new title-"Make Me
Star"-and with Stuart Erwin in the
role made famous by Glenn Hunter
back in the days when the cinema
was known as the silent drama. The
new version of Harry Leon wilson's
best-selling novel, which was a stage
success before Hunter presented 1t
in soundless celluloid, is the feature
of this weeks program at the Metro
politan.
Few moviegoers missed Merton"
wherever it was shown, so 1t should
not be necessary to outline the plot
here. Surely, you must remember
how Merton, a dim-witted grocery
clerk with a diploma from a corre-
spondence academy of acting, de-
SertS his job in srnall-town store
to seek fame and fortune in Holly
wood. And you must recall, too, how
he is befriended by an actress, who
uses her influence to make him
star. Not the kind of star he wants
to be, as you'll remember, but-hor-
ror Of horrors!-a comedian, which,
in Merton's opinion, is just about
the ultra ultra, or something, in the
way Of degradation"
Anyway, Make Me a Star" is the
same Merton of the Movies" except
for an entirely new cast plus the
fact that it is anything but silent.
The picture gives Erwin the best op-
portunity of his screen career, and
he makes the most of it, giving a
performance so highly artistic that
it makes Hunters portrayal of the
same character seem somewhat
amateurish in retrospect. And that
is a compliment!
But Erwin comes long, long way
from being the whole show-as who
wouldn't with Joan Blondell around?
Miss Blondell, who plays the part Of
the girl who breaks Merton's heart
by making him a comedian and then
wins his love by feeling sorry for
him, gives Erwin some mighty keen
competition for the acting honorS.
AS the beautiful, big-hearted but
rather hard-boiled "Flips" Mon
tague, she does her job we'll In fact,
there are times when one feels like
pulling her blonde hair, and that's
almost as pretty a compliment as

for their convincing performances

With number of other stars of
similar magnitude, they may be
glimpsed in the background of sew

which serves its chief purpose in
giving her an opportunity to per-
form before local audience. Dig
nifty, which blends with a natural
dramatic force and the artists ca
pacity to hold the attention, marks
her work throughout, and her act
serves its double purpose Of intro
ducing her and giving brief
glimpse of her stage methods. For
an actress of her rank, it is salts
flying contribution to a fairly long
theater entertainment. She has the
assistance of a male partner.
Gallo temperament is the chief
source of merit in the part that is
assigned to Georges Carpenter. In
that respect he is more the stage
celebrity than the performer in the
ring, and he shares with other Latin
figures of the theater the ability to
do worthwhile things with smile.
He is assisted by several young
women of capacity in songs and
dances, and appears with two Of his
company in tap dancing. His own
musical contribution is piece of
which the refrain is II Can Take 1t.

the program are Joe Phillips and

sense: Miss Patricola, in her Gus
tomary assortment of musical bits.
and Wilfred Du Bois, an unusual
juggler who exhibits control of the
various home and field implements
which he throws about with much
vivacity.
THE Painted Lady" is a drama
among the unethical persons who
hang about the meeting places Of
the earth, and engage in those
deceptions which appeal to their
emotions and put other persons off
the trail of their violations of the
law. Miss Shannon and Mr.. Tracy
are favorites with the film patrons,
and they perform with the capacity
for displaying live personalities that
has been observed in other pictures.
Others in the cast are William Boyd,
Irving Pichel, Raoul Roulien, Muir
ray Kinnell and Laska Winter. Phil
Lampkin continues his series of pre-
tentious orchestral performances.

 Worn smooth by tide and sand and stained a seaweed green, the skull of human being was found on tthe Mendenhall Bar at Juneau, by Lloyd Bayers. The gruesome discovery was turned over to Chief of Police George Getchell. All the teeth, except five toward the back on each side of the upper jaw are missing. The skull was shown by the Chief to several doctors and dentists, and the consensus is that it is the skull of white man. How long it has been in the water is matter of conjecture, some de- claring the time could be as brief as three or four years, or as long as 20 or 30.
