Miss Daniels is by way of becom-
ing one of our foremost condolences.
Although some one should tip her
off to the fact that her voice is no
great shakes, and that as soon as she
throws back her head, shoots her eyes
at the moon and does a little light
emotional quivering, the film slows
down about hundred PAGES, she can

you believe that the Cocktail Hour"
is a superficial gag, popular only with
morons. When the hero, Randolph
Scott, complains that his lady friend
partakes of too many of these, and
that her salon is merely one long
drinking bout, she raises her eyebrows
and answers: This is 1888, you know,
not 1885, whereupon the hero sinks
of in mute despair.
After you have had few more philo-
sophie reflections on this sport, the film
settles down to being amusing-on and
of ship, and carrying Miss Daniels
from her rich firm (she paints adver-
tisements) In New York to Paris-where
her Three Musketeers" join her.
Thereupon one of the boys is almost
killed in a fantastic battle over the
lady. and you are preparing for one
of those dramatic court scenes when the
gentleman revives, the hero kisses the
heroine and the curtain comes down
in burst of contentment.

CLUB HEARS
PIANISTS IN
FINE PROGRAM
Artist Pupils Giue
Works of Chopin,
Brahms, Schubert.
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

Two pianists, Louise Gardner of
Pittsburgh and Eugene Cooley Of Daw-
son, Pa, were presented in recital last
evening at the Ten O'Clock Club by
Norman Frauenheim. The program was
mostly devoted to works of Chopin,
although Miss Gardner played Bach's
''Fantaisie in C Minor" Brahms Inter
nsezzc No. /" and Schubert's I'm
promptu in E Flat" in her first group.
Both of these artist-pupilS showed
sound technical foundation of type
calculated to carry them to greater
heights. Miss Gardner's tone is OF seri-
Gus quality, her touch strong and sure,
and her fingers light and deXterous in
rapid passages. The most interesting
of her numbers. from an interpretive
standpoint, was Debussy's La Cathe-
draI Engloutie." in which Miss Gard
ner reached more profound feeling and
which she played with fine nuances in
her shadings Miss Gardner has not
quite reached the point where she ad-
juSts her dynamics to the particular
style of the composer and her technical
Installation of the inner meaning OF

be wished Tor, DuC Wnen tnlS IS aCIdllleu,
her pianistic effects will have the added
touch of variety to their already sound
musicianship. She was heartily ap-
plauded after each group and after her
playing of the Chopin "Etude in E
Major" was forced to give an encore.
kIr. Cooley is brilliant player, with
sweep and fire to his interpretations.
For hi.Y such numbers as the two polo
naise OF Chopin, one in A major and
the otheA in A fiat, and the "Scherzo
in B Flat Minor" are pure JOY and he
plays thele with spirit and dash that
is kept WITHIN the proper bounds. His
tone has d particularly ringing color
to it. and {ais combined with his even
and flexible inger technic should bring
him far. While listening with pleasure
to the taleizt of this young man one
could realizs. how a greater mellow
ness of tone and a warmer, more poeti-
cal developena5nt of these Chopin num-
bers would s..ake Of him an unusual
pianist with ;he temperamental con-
trast evenly Lslanced. Mr.. Cooley gave
several encor4a when recalled by the
generous applause. thereby prolonging
his all too slsslrt program.

PALACE PUTS
COMIC SPIRIT
At HIGH MARK
Unusual Cast for
"InfPrnGtIOnGL
House" ShOiU1l.

ONE or more clever writers, with so
" keen a sense of the ludicrous that
they couldn't avoid leaving trail OF
healthy chuckles, fashioned the dis
tinctive screen oddity, international
House" now showing at the Palace
Theater. A cast Of actors who are
always in the habit of entertaining the
public gave the successive touches to
a musical comedy that has no dull
spots.
Sometimes an "all-star" cast may
have the star stuff only in spots, and
occasionally the play lacks the neces-
sary sparkle for the employment OF too
much acting talent, but in the Palace
production, there is plenty Of material,
and the members of the company, ex-
perienced in every form OF entertain
ment, are competent to give 1t force.
Dramatic possibilities in an unex-
pected quarantine are part of stage
history. and when the involuntary stay
at Shanghai hotel involves all the
atmosphere of one Of the worlds cross
roads, scenes are set for comedy Of
the kind that appeals to a genuine
sense of humor. There Is so complete
a supply Of performers that the scene
Is never barren of those things that
comedy fans demand.
Heading the procession Is the much
publicised Peggy Joyce, who has no
occasion to have a special name in the
play, but Is just herself, marooned In
the midst of a party which has the
composite qualities to match her own.
With the poise Of stage celebrity who
knows all the tricks, she leads the
group with spirit and abandon. W. G..
Fields is the traditional comedy star
and gives the ultra professional punch
to the show. while Burns and Allen
contribute their generous share, with
Rudy Vallee. Stuart Erwin, Sari Ma
rita, and Bella Lugosi to fill In the
picture. Not the least of the associate
features are provided by Cab Galloway
and his musicians, and Baby Rose
Marie. with her own type Of music.
Col. Stoopnagle and Budd are partici-
pants in the more rugged type of hu-
NOR. 1t is worthy piece Of musical
comedy, which is inclined to approach
riot proportions In places, and has
some good musical interruptions.
An additional feature of the program
at the Palace Is a film comedy with
a cast headed by Zasu Pitts, in her
most impressive moods, while travel
talk covers features of life in the Scan
dinavian countries. D. &. &.

MORE MURDER
IN PICTURE At
/ METROPOLITAN
But All Ends Well
With Bad Man in
Coils of Python.

Finding that the public no longer
responds to the older order Of murder
mystery play boasting an unknown
murderer and a laSt-ninute expose,
producers are now seemingly concen-
trating their efforts on the many cruel
and ingenious ways a person may be
murdered and the psychological mott
vations Of the murderer. And so it is
that Murders in the Zoo" which had
a postponed opening at the Warmers
Metropolitan, is film concentrated
on the cruelty and f1endishness of a
1ove-mad man, who kills men because
they dare to fall in love with his wife

returns in this picture, and showing
signs Of more or less rigorous train
ing, gives a creditable performance
as the wife of the sportsman, whose

the same excellent porCrayer of neu-
rotic characters as he has been in his
previous films.
Murders in the Zoo" also marks the
debut of Gail Patrick, young and eX-
tremely pretty Alabama girl, who has,
unfortunately, very small part Other
than Miss Patrick and Miss Burke there
is still another comparatively new
actor, Randolph Scott, who, as a tox-
cologist in love with Miss Patrick, moves
about in the film long enough to effect
an antitoXin for the bite of the mamba
snake. This same toxin later is instru-
mental in saving his life when he dis
covers that this cruel sportsman is the
man who killed young Hewitt, Atwill's
wife's lover and later even threw his
own wife into the crocodile pits to be
eaten alive.
This excess of cruelty is only relieved
throughout by the droll efforts of

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. June 3 (N.A.-
N.A.).-For the second time In less
than a year. zeppo Marx and his wife
have been subjected to robbery. The
jewels Of Mrs. Marx were the objective,
ana this time-as previously-the rob-
bers got away with them.
Accounts Of the neatly executed hold
up appear locally describing how the
men forced their way into the apart
ment at the point of a pistol and, cov-
ering Mr.. and Mrs. Marx and their
guest, Allan Miller, of New York, pro-
ceeded to the kitchen where they had
the cook turn of the gas from under
the dinner she was preparing and
brought her into the living room where
she and the guest were gagged and
bound. Mr.. and Mrs. Marx, taken up
stairs, were locked In a closet after
the thieves had taken the jewels
amounting to some $4,000.
Now, to quote from the accounts
Detectives said the robbery was car
ried out so smoothly that 1t plainly
was the work of Hoilywood's jewel
robbery king. This gang is said to be
led by a sleek-f1ngered man who, en-
LIZ Vic "a oLdA D,
points them out to his armed hench-
men. The gang is believed responsible
for recent sensational robberies, includ-
ing the $4,000 theft at the home OF
Helene Costello, S16,500 in gems from
Mae West and the Sal, 500 robbery OF
Betty Compson. The gems stolen from
Marx last August later we're recovered
when a Chicago insurance company
made cash payment of 20 per cent Of
their value to the thieves"
Most amusing is the fact that, when
Betty Compson's jewels we're taken, the
press quoted the police as saying that
they we're aware Of the identity of the
jewel robbery leader and it was a
matter of hours. or days, ETC., until he
would be apprehended. All agree he is
sleek, slick and travels with the creme
de Ia creme of the motion-picture pro-
fession. 1t seems to me that there is
something trifie sour In the creme"

them-blackmai them persistently to

SPORT DRAMA
HAS SPIRITED
RING FEATURE
Loretta Young i,
Offering With
Fairbanks.

T oRETTA YOUNG and Douglas Fair
banks, jr., starred and featured In
many types Of serious drama, are fit-
ted to new roles In THE Life of Jimmy
Dolan" at the Earle Theater, which
creates for them the atmosphere of
country life, the enthusiasm of the prize
ring, and the advantage Of an abun-
dance Of the lighter incidents of life.
Miss Young, who has appeared in
numerous film plays Of an exacting ma
ture, is here provided with one which
is product of the soil and is marked
by complete informality, in a romantic
attachment for a young pugilist, who
has fled from a sports center because
Of a charge OF killing which arose from
the schemes of professional foes. In
his self imposed exile, he comes in con-
tact with the country girl, and she
joins with others in giving encourage
ment, when he accepts the Challenge
of travelling foreign boxer who Is
noted for his brute Strength.
The picture Is notable for the de-
tailed presentation Of the several rounds
of fighting, in which Mr.. Fairbanks
has an uphill struggle to overcome the
lead OF his more brutal opponent. The
scenes are realistic and assured of an
appeal to those who enjoy that kind OF
entertainment. Much Is contributed to
the interest in the story by the charac-
ter acting of Aline MacMahon and Guy
Kibbee, as older persons who follow
with effective aid the fortunes of the
young leader Of sports.
The chief dramatic climax comes
from the attitude of Mr.. Kibbee, as an
officer of the law, who follows Fair
banks, and after his bout is about to
lead him back to court for legal pro-
ceedings, when he recognizes the cruelty
to the young woman, and comedies that
he has not really recognized the fugi-
tive from justice. 1t Is a touch that
gives much force to the production
Others who are prominent in the cast
are Lyle Talbot, Fiji Dorsay, Harold
Huber, Shirley Grey, George Meeker,
David Durand, and several of the very
young set at Hollywood.
The stage show at the Earle is headed
by Lillian Shade, who not only sings
several popular songs, but also intro
duces her new kind of rhythm. Her
success was marked at the opening
performances. A distinct piece II
originality is introduced by the Rimacs
and their Havana Orchestra, with
acrobatic and other spirited dances
matching the characteristic music of
the West Indian island. In addition
to the leader, the act introduces two
expert young woman dancers and a
man. one of whom is introduced as the
best of the Cuban dance experts. There
are solos and duets which reflect the
highly developed talents Of the organi-
zatton. The Berry Brothers are singers
and dancers Of skill, and La Belle Pola
In addition to musical numbers, intro
duces simian performance. A new
series of films, with Bobby Jones teach
ing the technique of golf, is introduced
There are several short films.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC
BY PLANE INCREASES
Steady Gains Made This Year, but
Totals Are Below Those
of 1882.

Air transport passenger traffic in the
United States has increased continu-
ously since the beginning of this year,
though still below the totals for the
same period last year, according to the
monthly report of domestic air trans
port operations for April, issued yester-
day by the Aeronautics branch, De-
partment of Commerce.
During April, scheduled alrlines in
the United States carried 29,499 pas
sengerS, 11.620 pounds of express and
flew total of 3,755,159 miles In regu-
lar service.
The survey showed that In April
there were only 25 operating companies
in existence in the United States, as
compared with 20 in March, 80 in
February and 81 in January. Passen-
gers carried by months this year were
24,300 in January, 24.506 in February,
24,945 in March and 29,499 in April.
Air express poundage was 74,268 in
January, 82.237 in February, 124.454 in
March, and IL $50 in April. During
April. 1882, express flown amounted to
1925 pounds.
The mileage flown during April was
greater than during any previous month
this year, and was greater than in
April of last year. Passenger miles
flown were very much greater than for
any month this year. but we're below
the total for April of last year.

These three ladies of sorrow are nlreo

time Miss Eilers' story to judge getS

although one of them complains that
such sorrow is worth $50. They stay 1or
the smaller sum, however-and when
Mr.. Montgomery waves his handkerchief
across his brow, you may hear three OF
the most poignant blurbings ever de-
vised by woman-Such potent meanings
in fact, that Miss Eilers is released from
a trial scene that might easily have
won for her what is sometimes called
"the warm seat"
The film is the light sort of know
it-all affair which Montgomery fans
approve of. Played In traditional Mont
gomery manner, helped sometimes by
Sally EilerS, a so-so actress with
pretty face, and Madge Evans, whose
appearance here in Philip Goes Forth, y
is still a treasured event, the picture is
amusing enough not to tire you. and
not so great as to warrant particular
eulogy.
Montgomery, as New York's best
fiXer, is an amusing, If Objectionable,
young man, who makes the mistake of
divorcing his pretty wife miss Evans),
and who then, after reScuing Miss
Eilers from a suicide attempt. gets 1t
in the nose for trying to Fix" her with
a career. A career she has-but not
so short nor so sweet as Montgomery
had anticipated-and when he even has
to go to court about it. the battle be-
comes almost too rough for him.
Nevertheless. he wins the battle. and
his wife back, too-and therein lies the
story.
Frankly, "Whoopee," on the stage of
Loew's Fox, is not what it used to be.
Nevertheless, it is very serviceable
shake-down version of the original
with a nice dancing chorus, little Bob
bic Arnst, who plays her role with a
will, and Jack Rutherford, who sings
81 Bring You a Red, Red Rose" as we'll
as his original "Whoopee" ancestor
The music in this is still very grand:
the scene toward the last of the second
act is very good, and even If you don't
get those lovely ladies coming down the
mountain with beads and plumes, you
have enough of the original to realize
probably what you've missed.
The thing that annoyed us about this
better -than-average production. was the
way Jane Lee walked through her per-
formance. Miss Lee is blond and
pretty, and possibly bright, and there is
no reason, as far as we can see, why
she shouldn't go through her PAGES as
though she enjoyed them. Buddy Boyle
did and, as one who is forced to initiate
Eddie Cantor, he certainly has a
tougher time than she has.
