HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 20 (N.A.

leather inlaid with ivory and gold, with
colorful serapes and hats from every

It's the other extreme for the pendu-

"Secrets" Is an Ideal
Mary Pickford Picture
Americas Darling of the Screen" Runs True to
Form-"'T The Silver Cord" Is Film Version
of the Theater Guild Play.
By E. de S. Melcher.

Of the act in which they do not take
part.
The Silver Cord as presented on
the screen of R-K-O Keith's this week,
is a cinematic revival of Sidney How
ards Theater Guild success, which was
awarded the Pulitzer palm several years
ago on Broadway A fierce invective
against mothers who tie their sons to
their homes, it is magnificently acted
by Laura Hope Crews, who plays the
part she played in the original-prob-
ably the longest speaking part ever
undertaken on the screen.
Miss Crews, in role which seems to
us now to be exaggerated beyond real
endurance, nevertheless is so sly and
inhuman in this that you will find your
self, after the first moments of annoy
ance, wanting to stay on and on and on,
just to see what she will be up to next.
Miss Crews. as that miserable mother
who tries to squash everything but ma
ternal sentiment out of her children,
should be viewed with wonder and ad-
mlration-particularly when she Is
creating the seasons most malicious
character. AS female Charles Laugh
ton she is everything that is frightful-
and if there are mothers like this in
the land they should be chopped up and
boiled in OIL
While the star of this film is said
to be Irene Dunno. and while Miss
Dunno plays her role with sincerity and
appeal (as she does everything she puts
her hand to-, it is actually the green
eyed Miss Crews who steals the picture.
Speaking Mr.. Howard's lines with full
meaning and indubitable guilt, she
tears into her two vacillating sons with
all the guile that she is capable of, and
Is seen in the finale as a broken and
unhappy woman when she has only
been able to accomplish half her selfish
The story is not by any means cheer
ful entertainment. But you will see
some very fine acting by its chief vii
lainess, and others in the cast are we'll
enough to be adequate. These include
Frances Dee, Joel McCrea (still not a
real actor and Eric Linden.
As an added attraction this week.
Manager Meakin is presenting Gene
Dennis, psychic marvel, who tells you
your past, your present and your future
We frankly have to admit that we do
not understand such things, we also
have to admit that Miss Dennis seems
something of miracle, and Judging
from what she told questioners yester-
day, she would not be a comfortable
sort of person to have around the
house. She answers all questions with
astonishing speed-and seems to know
more about you than you know your
self. Will some one explain how all this
is done?

BERRY TO PAY
DEBT LEFT BY
HIS OLD FRIEND
Barbara Bedford
and Actor Shake
Hands After Suit
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, May 90. After
Wallace Beery, movie actor testified he
planned to spend thousands of dollars
squaring debts of his friend, John Allen
Rascoe. and to set up trust fund for
Rascoe's 8-year-old daughter, Superior
Judge Charles Grail yesterday dismissed
an accounting suit brought by Barbara
Bedford, actress and widow of Rascoe
Beery's testimony quelled the contro-
versy over $4,000 insurance left by
Rascoe and Miss Bedford and the
broadly grinning actor shook hands.
Beery said he had loaned Rascoe, a
close friend for "a years, sums totaling
$500 before the latter's death last
March, some three years after being
left the insurance to cover his note to
Beery. The balance was to be used
for education of the child, Barbara
Edith.
The $500 was not all Beery was
"out," however he said
Il PAID out 1854 for hospital, doctor

some of Rascoes unpaid bills. Beery
agreed to add them to those he intends
to pay.

HELL BELOW
SHOWS PERIL
IN SUBMARINE
Palace Picture Has
Sea Thrill, Plot
and Good Cast.

A BOUT everything that is needed to
give complete understanding of the
peril involved in life on a submarine is
assembled in brilliant screen achieve
ment, Hell Below" the new feature at
the Palace Theater. Like other major
motion pictures dealing with forms Of
adventure with which the public has
fairly complete acquaintance. it has
taken advantage of every little detail
and employed all the resources of pho
Biography and expert direction to create
something that even the closest observer
will view with satisfaction. Everything
that has been the subject of printed
articles or shown in still pictures is
endowed with pulsing life and made to
reveal the cruelty of nature. The ocean
Is viewed in its menacing moods; the
destructive force of the naval torpedo
and depth bomb is added to the store
Of realism; sinking and burning ships
tell of the violence of war, and men
who face death in imprisonment at the
bottom of the sea are exhibited in the
hopeless moods that have been the sub
jectS of many tales. 1t is a strong rep
resentation of the nature of undersea
navigation that has gripped the mind
in other days, but is made to create a
more acute reaction than anything that
preceded this picture.
Hell Below" also is entitled to be
recognized as an honest play and not
merely disjointed assortment OF
known perils. No less effective in en-
gaging the attention is the plot that
has been given by the producers, with
triangle that offers novelty in con-
ception and development; series OF
incidents with colorful background
ashore to lead up to the tragic life OF
wife who is alienated by an officer;
the rigid discipline enforced by the
woman'S father, who is commanding
officer; the grief and frenzy that fol-
low the death of fellow officer in
the performance of duty, and the final
impressive picture of the bravery of the
man who has almost destroyed an
others home. The climax is a magni-
fed war picture, echoing the simpler
incident of the Hobson feat at Santi-
ago, with the performer in the Adriatic
giving his life before the roaring guns
of the enemy. Mixed with vivid drama
is also the excellent provision for
humor, with lines and action that rep
resent theatrical skill.
Besides the reality and the plot, the
picture has been provided with one of
the best casts that could have been
assembled for the purpose, with Robert
Montgomery and Walter Huston main
tanning the best traditions of the Navy,
Madge Evans playing an emotional role
with perfection and creating a genuine
feminine personality, and choice comedy
provided by Jimmy Durante and Eugene
Palette.
The Palace also offers several short
films. D. c. G.

JELKE DIVORCE HEARING
TO BE RESUMED MONDAY
Chauffeur Reveals Infamous"
Language and Blows in 1892
Testimony Taken in Paris.

BY the Associated Press.
NEWPORT, r. T., May 20.-The Jelke
divorce suit today stood adjourned un-
til Monday after the reading Of depo-
sition taken In Paris in 1892.
Yesterdays session saw the beginning
Of the hearing Of Eugenia woodward

ROBINSON FILM
At EARLE HAS
COMIC THEME
Famous Gang Chief
Becomes Victim.
of S,UindIers.

WHEN gangsters set themselves to
the task of rebuking wicked
forms of finance, and Edward G. Rob-
inson, often presented as the chief
schemer and money maker Of racket
eer city, is separated from his money
by refined swindlers, there is material
for comedy, and this form Of entertain
| ment is the substance of THE Little
Giant" presented at the Earle Theater.
Nancy Garner, in the stage show,
also contributes a feature of the week
program with songs that test with
attractive results voice which Is
strong. resonant and flexible and has
been employed on the radio with sue
cess. In keeping with the humor which
has been made a feature OF the week
series of offerings, Walter Powell and
his orchestra, emphasizing the santlcs
of Rudy Bundy, make music and fun
harmonic with singularly stirring re-
suits. Mr.. Bundy is introduced while
falling off the raised platform on which
he holds forth with the trombone, and
from that time onward he and the
orchestra extract all the amusement
that could be expected out of COL
lection of brass instruments. Seltzer
bottles form a material part of the
entertainment but the players provlde
some live music in the course OF their
hurricane of comedy.
Forsythe, Seamon and Farrell, two
women and a man, mix songs Win
amusing action and dancing perform
ance that is notable for the buoyancy
of the young women's evolutions. The
Twelve AriStocrats, with equal numbers
of men and women, give a strong
dancing and adagio act which has
striking costumes.
In "The Little Giant" the Earle's
feature film, there is presentation OF
Mr. Robinson in series of incidents OF
farcical nature, with Mary Astor play
ing the role of the gangster's friend,
although the character that she repre-
sents has no affiliation with the circles
in which the star of the piece has
made his success Her acting skill, in
this play as in others in which she has
appeared, is effective in maintaining the
more serious spirit of the production,
which is to reveal the former gangSter
as a rough diamond and a citizen who
is hopeful of climbing to the top by
commendable methods. He fails to
break into the charmed circle of the
financial world, but wins a bride whose
influence is uppermost in the story.
Most humorous Is the episode of the
summoning of gunner by airplane from
the home town 20 compel the brokers,
who have caught the newcomer in their
financial schemes, to diSgorge.
Several short films at the Earle
include an excellent Tom Howard
comedy. D. G. G.
