British brogue and set forth in quest
OF the fairer sex-who at sight OF
such careless costume will plunge
unhesitantly into your arms.
Mr.. Grant, thus equipped and
strutting about as a small town bad
man (who turns out to be pretty
decent in the end) wooeS Nancy
Carroll for all he is worth in this
sometimes entertaining but seldom
satisfying film about gossip and bad
manners. The nearest to a Gable
Paramount has been able to come,
Grant is a likable enough actor,
who as soon as he gets his collar
into place and overcomes his matinee
idol expression should wear rather
nicely with the ladies. This is his
first opportunity to do well in one
of those parlor- snake roles. Ladies
will probably find him smooth and
neutrality-suspicious. just the re-
verse.
Miss Carroll unfortunately does
not have a chance to bolster up
somewhat fading reputation. AS a
nice little girl who almost goes
wrong within earshot of her gossip
ing neighborS, her role starts out
well enough, only to fare UP into
second-rate emotionalism - and
scenes that are fairly painful.
Flying from one gentleman to the
other, 1t is pretty hard to find much
sympathy for her--and in the finale
when she is breezing off with Grant
you wonder why she didn't do all
that in the first place and save her
and the audience all that trouble.
The best of the cast is william
Collier, ST., and Edward Woods
as a benevable small town smooth
guy.
William Demarest, running up and
down the aisles, and providing much
of the humor he supplied last season
in the Nationals present ''Vanities,"
is the highlight of the stage show
which also includes Alex Hyde and
his orchestra Ga group of ladies who
almost dispel our prejudice against
the fair sex being wrapped about
by French horns, etc); Emil Boreo
in a familiar but popular act, Har-
land Dixon and Peggy Cornell doing
some original dancing. and Tiebor's
seals.
The overture as presented by Phil
Lampkin should be stirring when it
has been rehearsed enough.

versation, Office gossip and political
haranguing will pay dividends at the

victory to a married contestant.

Breach Of Promise" Offers
Real Drama at Rialto.

DERSONAIITY and character in
the making, and under the
microscope, are observed in Breach
Of Promise" the film at the Rialto
Theater, which is an inspiring piece
of work and should be ranked among
the really good motion pictures.
Rupert Hughes furnishes the story
and puts into it the human incl
dents that deal with big and little
lives, men and women who find
neighbors that there is no satisfac-
tion in the jungle.
Chester Morris. who has the role
OF chief rank, is conventionally good
and displays those qualities of the
man Of affairs which are admirably
fitted to the story of the successful
Office. In the part which has been
assigned to Mae Clarke, however,
there Is fine material for moving
drama, and the result is a success
sion of scenes in which Miss Clarke
has touched one of the high spots
in her career. The producers have
credited her with eight distinct
transitions in appearance, and while
1t is apparent that she has clearly
visualized a series of clear-cut de-
velopments which deal with this
woman's attitude toward society, her
Judgment of associates, and her de-
cision as to the things which should
be objects of pride and satisfaction.
Throughout she has retained the
traits of q single person, but has
carried her through the times of
drudgery in a home, ambition to
share in the tinsel of false values,
success in preying upon another,
sympathy for the victim, and the
final sacrifice of self to achieve
justice. With this simple plot the
play has much in the line of unex-
pected developments and a thread
of the kind of drama that grips the
mind.
There is a well chosen cast, with
Mary Doran and Theodore Won Eltz
as excellent contributors to the
story, while others on the list are
Elizabeth Patterson, Charles Mid
dleton, Lucille La Verne, Eddie Bor-
den, Edward La Saint, Alan Roscoe,
Harriet Lorraine, Philo Mccullough
and Tom MCGUIRE.
The Rialto also offers a strong
film based on visit to Hollywood,
with views of the city from the
streets and by air, glimpses of the
big stars and the studios and a
study Of the life of the community.
James Gleason is shown in
comedy, and the newsreel covers

In moviedom, and It Is ON account
of her that the hero, in this melo-
drama of Broadway shadows and
Bermuda sunshine, not only gets his
man but his lady, too, and ENDS up
by bagging q whole hornets nest Of
racketeers in the bargain.
As maybe what detective wouldn't?
For the alluring Miss Miles has that
certain something in her voice and
manner that makes Jack Holt, as
the bold McCloud. dare all, and
leaves nothing to be wanted Tor his
effort. For her he laughs at loaded
guns and turns a ride" into q
roundup. Out to get one George
Peary for a fake hold-up Ga type
admirably portrayed by Gavin Cor
don, who, incidentally, happens to
be the rival in the picture), he must
prove him crook and bring him to
justice to win the girl.
All sorts of complications follow,
including McCloudis dismissal from
the force for blundering. But how
he wins reinstatement, captures
"Peary," the leaders of the gang he
has Joined and finally brings the
torch singer home to hum lullabies
Is all part OF swiftly moving story
shot through with thrills and ex-
citement.
While Jack Holt is his usual best
in the fearless sleuth role, real trib-
ute Is due Miss Miles for an admir-
able performance. Modelled along
Jean Harlow lines, Miss Miles has
the added gift Of song, and, unless
we miss our guess, she is on her way
to the high places. The cast is well
supported by Walter Connolly, Arthur
Vinton and Clarence Muse.
Keithgoers will find added enter
tainment in a well-rounded program,
with the news reel and a group of
short subjects, which includes ''Pooch
the Pup" an animated cartoon, and
q riotous Edgar Kennedy comedy.

"The Crusader" Dealing
With Crime, at Columbia.

HOW the film, "The Crusader"
now at Loew's Columbia The
ater. would have gotten by" at all
without H. B. Warner and Lew Cody
to boost it along and take it out of
its shop-worn rags is something that
the Majestic Picture Corporation,
which produced the movie, probably
had figured out before casting these
capable finished actors in their re-
spectfve roles. Evelyn Brent con-
tributes so little to the whole that
her part might well have been given
to one of any number of more at
tractive lesser lights seeking star
dom. AS for Marceline Day, who
as the ID. AS" sister, is dumb but
not beautiful, a few pounds of
honeSt-to-goodness avoirdupois would
have made her much less wrath
like in appearance. Then again, one
gets weary Of the type of newspaper
reporter which the movie producers
insist ON Haunting before the public
that OF an unscrupulous, shopping,
scooping news hound"
The story deals with a crusading
district attorney who has at heart
only the administration of the law
10 tne letter, Iof the betterment OF
the country at large. The fact that
a woman killed in defense of her
honor is of no moment-she killed
and must be punished for the crime.
Later in the picture his sister is
arrested for murder on a similar
charge, and he fulfllls his duty as
the prosecuting attorney-only to
find that the jury has lot to say in
the matter. The picture lacks the
usual moral ending, and the old
adage. Virtue is its own reward" is
reversed. There are no outstanding
spots to relieve the monotony.

"The Mask of Flu Manchu,"
With Karl0ff, at the Palace,

nR. Flu MANCHU is gurgling and
hsping his latest Oriental hor-
rors at the Palace this week, in an
untidy tale of torture, sudden death
and those eternal Chinese gongs.
Living peacefully in his coy little
palace, DR.. Flu becomes bored with
stalking about making ugly faces,
with the sound of the cymbals that
clash idiotically every time he steps
from one room into another. Even
the charming sport of tearing a
bloody victim limb from limb once
or twice day pals upon him. He
is, in fact, tired, as Mr.. Cab Galloway
would put 1t, OF kicking the gong
around.
When DR.. Flu Gu Manchu to you)
rolls his ambitious eye about for
bigger things, it lights upon the
glittering figure Of Genghis Khan.
Chinese boy who made good in a
big way and left behind him the
glorious memory of the man who
caused the death of 5,000,0 900 people.
With the sword and mask of Genghis
Khan to give him sway over the
chieftains Of the East, he might, DIR.
Flu muses., easily break that ancient
UlOOQ-SpllllnR record.
Word OF Fu'S muse reaches the
British Museum via Scotland Yard
and it is decided to send tn ex-
ped1tion Of hearty Britishers to
nnd the tomb of Genghis Khan, dig
up the Emperor's sword and mask
and thereby limit Flu to mis- small
time Fu-ing.
No sooner has a leader been
selected for the expedition than a
mob OF creepy, slant-eyed gents
leaps from the mummy cases of the
museum to gag, bind and abduct
hlm. He Is hauled off to Fu's
Chinese emporium and given the
works with great politesse. When
the courageous scientist refuses to
reveal the whereabouts of Genghis
khans tomb Flu straps him to a
table and rings bell over his head
all the day and night long, shatter-
ing his nerves and doubtless remind
ing him of all the times he slept too
late to go to church.
This, of course, proves nothing.
Meanwhile the scientists daughter.
dull young man, who is her swain:
British secret service agent and
assorted others set out for China.
open the tomb, take the precious
relics and then try to negotiate the
release of papa scientist. Sooner
or later they all fall stupidity into
the clutches of DR.. Flu. In due
time that also works out as YOU
think it will.
THE Mask Of Flu Manchu" Is
mounted on some gorgeous sets,
made slightly phony by their i'm
probable design, but perhaps easy
to reconcile with a DR.. Flu who could
make such an unlikely remark as
"one move and will send a bullet
crashing through your stiff British
spine"
Supposedly the cast of this pro-
duction is alSo sumptuous, but the
actors obviously are so wary of the
mllmbo- Jumbo the script requires of
them that all lose their force. Miss
Myrna 10y impersonates a gleeful
sadist, daughter of DR.. Flu. who
screams hey nonny nonnies as her
victims are f1ogged; Miss Karen
Morley is rather mechanical hero
inc, and Lewis Stone, veteran of a
thousand good performances, prob
ably would like to forget he ever
played this one. Boris Karloff's DR..
Flu got more laughs than screams
from the audience.
A good Laurel and Hardy comedy,
the amusing Mickey Mouse and as
sorted shorts complete the program.

stored to its parents, but not before
Miss Dvorak. the erring member,
has adopted an unprecedented
method of notifying the authorities
of the place where the child is kept
and has dashed to her death from
the upper story of building.
Mechanically it is most artistic
motion picture, with many symbolic
devices to show that time has
elapsed, and has much Photographic
merit along with the rapid develop
ment of the plot. Each of the chief
characters Is presented by different
persons to represent differences in
age. Miss Blondell, Mr.. William and
Miss Dvorak, who carry the later
action. are called upon for that cor
rectness of delineation which they
are able to meet without noticeable
flaw, and make up an excellent as
semblage of good actors.
The total merit of the performance
at the Earle owes much to talent in
the stage performance. and the
acts were SO well received on the
opening day, that Miss Maxine
Doyle, mistress of ceremonies, was
kept unusually busy in her task of
accelerating the several changes.
In strong bill of favoriteS, it Is
to be mentioned that two person.
alitieS loom so distinct and scintil-
lating and endowed with the ability
to create universal enjoyment in an
audience, that they should be sin
gled out for recognition One of
these is Oracle Allen, whose part
ner is George Burns, an excellent
foil, and whose bubbling eccen-
tricities have heretofore provided
pleasure to radio and theater au-
diences. 1t is persons like Miss
Allen that have given the American
stage its supremacy in the lighter
forms of entertainment. She SEEM
ingly has an endless number Of ex-
amples of cleverneSs. The other
personality, similar in execution but
different in traits, is that of
Cookie" Bowers, substitution for
an act previously booked, but en-
titled to more than mere mention.
The limitations of this artist. who
seems to be complete master of his
audience, are illun1ined by the traits
of natural and robust comedian.
The program also includes Case
Brothers and Marie in a marvellous
tight-wire act, and an elaborate
number of Nayan Pearce and jay
Velie, with Bill Ford, in RED

esque. The usual short films also
