Cry of the World"
At the Metropolitan.

NOUR reaction to Cry Of the
l. World" on view at the Metro
politan this week, will depend en-
tirely upon what motivates your
moyie-going. If it is a desire for
entertainment that impels you to
step I'D to the box office. you will be
disappointed in the film-despite
the fact that it's advertised list OF
"stars" includes such celebrities as
George Bernard Shaw, John d.
Rockefeller, ir.; Benito Mussolinl,
Ramsay Macdonald, Adolph Hitler,
Mahatma Gandhi and numerous
others.
There is nothing entertaining
about CRY of the World" and its
nroducers. the Fox Film Corporation
and the International Film Founda-
tion. are not averse to admitting II.
All they claim for the picture is that
II is unique, and-well, If they are
wrong then Jimmy (Schnozzle)
D,rante is another Valentino!
Tho Aim is lust what its title i'm
pies-a cry Of distress, an appear, ,
made on behalf of men, women
ond children of all races, national
tiles and creeds, Tor Worlo-"ioe
peace. ,,;au
The plea is made through review
of major events, beginning WIN tlle
World War and continuing IN mop
skip-and- jump fashion, through Ii,e
recent outbreak in Manchurla. oano-
wiched between the various war
scenes are snapshots OF the ereaty
publicized battle between New 1olk
police and Francis (Two-Gun) Crow-
lev, the killing of gang OF bandits
during a running gun ngnt' tne
confiscation of a batch OF liquor 1ol-
lowing a raid by prohibition enforce.
ment officers and similar bits OF
action-al, one takes it, supposed to
have some connection with the cry
for disarmament with which the
picture is chiefly concerned.
On the whole, the film is Sort
of plorified newsreel, with no heroes,
no heroines, no plot, no romance,
and those who prefer the more con-
yentional type screen fare will not
like it. There are, however, thou-
sands of others-amorg them those
who consider the celluloid drama the
most insipid form of entertainment
who will proclaim Cry OF the
World" a masterpiece. And 1t Is, IN
a sense, all of that.
The remainder Of the program
falls short of the standard estab-
lished by the feature, photograph
tcally and in every other way. Burns
and Mantle appear in mildly
amusing comedy, Patents Pending"
and there is a Betty Boop' ami
mated cartoon, with a short entitled
Screen Souvenirs" and newsreel.

INSURANCE GROUP

Age Of Consent" at Keith's
Is Play of College Life.

TOWN and gown, sometimes be-
lieved to be in conflict when
the college settlement touches the
things that are not academic. are
brought into dramatic contact in
The Age Of Consent" the new
motion picture at R-K-O Keith's
Theater. Both the campus and the
highways have their moments of
glaring amusement and their after
maths of regret and pain. In this
play the two spheres are hopelesslv
mixed, with the result that a tragedy
Is required to restore the sentiment
that creates a kinship of town and
gown, and the final impetus to
romance which is behind the whole
story.
The name Of the production is
from the legal phrase that creates
special responsibility to the law in
some violations of the moral code.
The young collegian. whose weak
ness leads to the shattering of his
hopes and those Of the girl student
who expects to become his wife, is
faced with the obligation to decide
whether he will marry another girl

under painful circumstances or be-
come q defendant in court. He
agrees to the marriage, but his
flancee, shocked by the incident,
takes a wild motor ride with a
previously unsuccessful admirer,
and the two are victims of smash
up. Martin Flavin. author OF the
stage play upon which the film is
based, has revealed through the
several characters the hardness OF
those who demand retribution, and
the sympathy that may be created
in a hospital ward, where one young
life pays the penalty of another's
error. and a second barely escapes
death as friends and foes unite IN
a kindly wish to revive the original
romance.
The production is of interest in
its picturing Of the lively interests
of the student body, and IN It's
casting of a young actress, Dorothy
Wilson, in the role of the forsaken
bride -to-be. She acts with some
authority, and shows capacity for
outstanding personal traits which are
required in the student who eff
GENTLY brushes aside all obstacles to
her attainment of the things that
she desires. Richard Cromwell, as
the chief character in the play, re-
veals emotional traits, while Eric
Linden. in the part of the second
admirer, does good work without the
opportunities that he has had in
other plays. Airline Judge, as the
waitress who attracts the attention
of the collegian, performs with dis
tinction. John Halliday, as the
faculty member whose kindly as
sistance is invaluable to the young
couple, maintains his usual skill,
while Aileen Prinkle and Reginald
Barlow are also effective.
An interesting feature Of the
Keith program, entitled Aviation
Memories" is review of the
achievements in the development Of
airplanes, with scenes along the
way. while the short films also in
clude Aesop's Fables, a Mack Sem
nett comedy, and a kid play.

Perhaps the only fault with the

thinks he buys a musical show. and
with Thelma Todd waltzing around

At LOeW's Columbia.

N Bali, according to current leg
ends, the ladies are fairer to look
upon than in any other corner of
the earth. Visitors to this tropical
island are amazed not only by the
potency of the beaches, the tall way
ing tropical verdure, the goatlike
boards Of the high priests, but most
particularly by the shape and form
OF all the daughters of Eve. which
even to the eyes of this continent
are not hard to look upon.
Mr.. Charles Trego, ex-Wall Street
financier and voyager into this lit
tie known land, bethought himself
not only of vacationing among
these tribal islanders, but also of
taking a camera with him. He hit

Isle of Paradise" is a scholarly
and interesting record of what goes
on in this southland-done with
pleasant insight into tribal func-
tlons, philosophy and a grand sense
OF the dramatic-the soft Balinese
and un-Balinese music forming a
pleasant and romantic background.
On this island, in which "life is
love and love is life" one of the
main features is the ceremony which
goes with the cremation of the dead.
After shooting off fire-crackers all
around the corpses. the natives take
the ashes out into the high seas and
scatter them to the winds. The idea
Is that they will be carried up to the
heavens and then deposited later
where they will do the most good.
A long and vital portion of the film
Is devoted to this ancient ritual.
which includes the burning, fire
cracking, scattering and final cere-
monies m behalf of the departed
ones.

job well. So we'll that one wonders
