Exceedingly pretty in dungarees and

each other around for a laugh pro-
vehement.
All in all, the plot seems to be
built with the object of having

ing Malay knife, one frightened Ital-
ian and one Swedish deckhand-
maSquerading as a Millionaire and
just a few moments before married

However, rough and tumble as 1t

From the Front Row
Reviews and News of Washington 5 Theaters.
BY E. de S. MELCHER.

As a blue-blood lady, with imitation
sables, pearls and whatnots, she falls
by chance into a speak" and there
plays sad game Of wits until at last
q trick Of fortune helps her out of
it. When she finally sails back to
England she has salted away many
thousands Of dollars, a rich husband
for her niece. and has drawn with
her an American who Is so rich that
when his son asks to be disinherited,
the astonished father replies: Just
for that, I'll double your allowance"
Miss Skipworth, browsing around a
Central Park Speakeasy, which Mr..
Young has named "Twicket on Top
ping" Is joy to most Of the laugh
senses, and Sari Martha, as the
niece, is lovely and convincing, too.
The dialogue is bright, the situations
impossible and everything combined
goes for pleasant and unpretentious
entertainment.
The stage program, after Phil
Lampkin's flrst-year celebration over
ture, is headed by Grace Moore, who
Is that rare ombination-namely q
singer and a beauty. Those who
have heard her at Mrs. Townsend's
morning musicales, or at the Metro
politan, or on the screen, or in the
past seasons "Du Barry" know that
she is Americas handsomest gift to
song, and that she uses her admir-
able voice each season Just q little
better. Her appearance yesterday
was the cause for great rejoicing
and she sang THE Dubarry," q
Spanish song, and Lover, Come
Back to Me" with that lyric grace
which is especially hers. Then, too,
she walked of the stage afterward
in that gracious manner which Is
somehow reminiscent Of Geraldine
Farrar. Miss Moore not only sings
well, but she has a smile which will
''knock you silly"
Others on the stage include a par
ticularly clever roller-skating act by
the Three Cossacks, the familiar and
likable Art Frank in his octogenarian
act and Dave Harris, who has two
talented ladies and toothless
''stooge" with him.

been one of this departments ia
vorite heroines, and who combines
charm, the screens best smile and
an acting ability which is far above
the average, with all the other
feminine virtues, is gracious, but
narrowed In this film. She has the
misfortune of being married to a
Jealous tyrant, and of being also
married (When she thought she was
diyorced) to q bounder who plaques
her with demands for money and
who threatens her with unpleasant
threats unless she gives IN to his
demands.
Mr.. Brent steps in then as gen.
tleman "Peeping Tom," who Is sent
by the Jealous husband to spy on
Miss Francis when she trips of to
Cuba-to have her marriage with
said bounder secretly annulled. On
the boat and on the island Of course
Miss Francis charms become too
much for him, and he falls head over
heels in love with the lady-just as
Won and every one else want and ex-
pect him to do.
It's a nice little comedy, with
Allen jenkins and Glenda Farrell
extremely funny on the side, and
with Francis and Brent proving
themselves the newest Al screen
cronieS.
The vaudeville bill features Sing
ing" Sam in some Of his well known
radio songs, which he sings as ne
does on the air simply and pleasant
ly: Maria Gambarelli cGambyo,
one of our best dancers, in nicely
assorted dancing bill, in which she
is assisted by agile Bert Prival; by
Harmon and Claxton, "comedlennes,
and by the Wallendas, who do un-
believable balancing feats in the air.
"Sign Of the Cross"
Revived at Metropolitan.
U'THE SIGN OF THE CROSS
l. gargantuan Rome and bath
tub spectacle, Is being reviyed at the
METROPOLITAN at minimum prices
after a fling earlier in the season at
a more expensive film hostelry.
This Cecil de Mile extravaganza"
Is a eaudy picture, full Of shots OF
wine, women and song, Roman
chariots, Roman sports" and pagan
celebrations. all of which are done
though the film is less Christian
than it is meant to be, it is the sea-
sons only really lavish theme. and
one in which you can count on see
ing more extras than you have IN
any other 10 pictures. Rich and
raucous and brutal in its final stages,
it is the kind of spectacle which
some enjoy hugely, and which others
frankly don't.
the best scene is when Claudette
Colbert besports herself in tnat
monster pool. Other features m
clude Charles Laughton playing MS
harp; Fredric March with more lip
stick on than he has had in his life;
a whipping sequence which is almost
too severe, and the final Christians
being thrown-to-the-li lions = episode
which is gruesome, but very well
done.
