are skillfully cast Their triangle,
finding its origin in the South Seas
and its continuation in more civil
lied surroundings, is one that is
easily recognized - the impossible
marriage and the attachment be-
tween a man and a woman which
faces legal barriers. In addition to
the other incidents, there Is the very
common dramatic device OF the trial
in court, this time with the solem-
nifty of British judicial procedure.
The woman almost pays the pen
atty when falsely accused of murder
ing her husband, but Is saved by a
piece of strategy on the part of her
unconventional lover. A nurse, who
has been a figure in the life OF the
husband, Is forced to admit the
knowledge that the man was poi
soned through his own mistake IN
taking the wrong bottle of two which
he had placed in hidden closet at
his bedside. The disclosure in court
is the strong scene in the play.
Reginald Owen, in the somewhat
humorous role of pretended doc
tor. does much to tighten up fairly
somber story, while Mona Maris, as
the nurse. provides a striking char
acterization. Others in the excel
lent cast are Juliette Compton, Alan
Mowbray, Gilbert Emery, Mae Busch
and John T. Murray. Mr.. Nagel and
Miss Kenyon, with their undoubted
dramatic force, contribute TO the
strength Of the plot.
Several short films are shown at
Keiths, chief among them being
THE Cock-Eyed Animal World
with scenes among the cities and the
wild life of Australia. The incidents
are made realistic by the comments
of Carveth Wells. D. G. &.

Robinson in 1.-TWO Seconds"
At MetropOIitan Theater.

"7wo SECONDS" on view at
the Metropolitan this week,
comes a long way from measuring
up to the excellent standard main
tanned by most of the other pic
lures in which Edward G. Robinson
has starred. However, those who
like good acting for its own sake
will not find the film devoid Of en-
joyment. After all. Robinson has
the leading role and-well, did you
ever see him fail to turn in a credit
able performance. no matter how
poor the material with which he
was forced to work?
And he Is worth seeing in Two
Seconds" even though the produc-
ton has little else to recommend it
little else, that is, besides few feet
eral glimpSeS of Vivienne Osborne
In various degrees Of dishabille.
The picture opens with Robinson
being electrocuted for the murder
of his bride, played none too con-
vincingIy by Miss Osborne The
death house physician explains to
one Of the witnesses that Robinson's
brain probably will remain active
for about two seconds after the cur
rent is turned on-long enough, the
doctor says, for the more important
events of the condemned mans life
to be relived mentally. 1t is this
two-second mental review of the
events preceding Robinson's march
to the electric chair that const-
tutes the backbone Of the film.
AS the electricity courses through
the condemned mans body, he sees
his meeting with Miss Osborne, then
a dime dance girl; his mar
riage to her after she had poured
his objections to affiXing his sigma
ture to the necessary license; his
chum's plunge to death from the
steel skeleton of a skyscraper during
a quarrel over the brides worth
iness, If any: the subsequent nervous
breakdown that made him dependent
on money obtained by his wife by
selling her kisses to the dance hall
proprietor; the obseSsion that he
must repay the money and kill his
bride before he could hold my head
up again"
Then, after his trial and convic-
tion, the camera returns to the death
chamber to find the electrocution
over. And there the picture ends.
A comedy in which Al st. John
tries-but fails-to create enough
laughs to clear away the gloom left
by the unhappy ending of Two
Seconds" together with a generous
helping of Ripley's Believe 1t or
Not and news reel, completes the
program. P. H. L.

Held Over Second Week.

ERANK CRAVENS provincial COM
edy. The First Year" which on
the screen as we'll as on the stage
may be recommended whole-heart-
edly to the whole family, Is being
held over for a second week at
Loew's Palace. The subtle direction
of William K. Howard, the unso-
phisticated acting Of Janet Gaynor
and Charles Farrell mot over
sugared this time) and the presence
of Dudley Digges, Maud Eburne,
playing bridge. and Leila Bennett as
this years most amusing dusky
character make this film one OF the
seasons real hits.
Patrons who ordinarily shy away
from the erstwhile ga-ga-lsms OF
HollyWood's most popular romance
team will find that both Miss Gay
nor and Mr.. Farrell have calmed
down considerably. They, too, will
find that Miss Bennett Is funny
enough to cause loud, unrestrained
little touches Of humor which make
the film consistently enjoyable. Al
though the plot is as slight as 1t
was on the stage and the charac-
ters neither great nor different
the whole business may be SAID TO
be good. clean fun-and to provide
probably the best entertainment that
F. street has seen in the past rev
