Glenda Farrell has been coached intc

Appearance of Cliff Edwards in the
stage program at the Earle is just one
of those pleasant events. giving the
theater public an opportunity to enjoy
contact with his personality, while the
subject matter of his Offering has no

Steamed Up Again

It had made something of theatrical
sensation in Vienna, Berlin, Paris and
London. The show ran for several
months in New York and for an entire
season on the road. But the movie

previous versions into the shade.

Having made this clear, Jolson rushed
off to a rehearsal of next Thursday
nights broadcast with Paul Whiteman' S
Orchestra. Following that, he was to
confer with song writer's; then would
come dinner with Ruby Keeler MRS.
Jolson), who has made flying trip
East to see him in the intervals of ap-
pea-ing in her next picture, "Footlight
Parade"
I'D like to go back to the coast with

to be apart. But I guess I'll have to
stay here for few weeks longer with

PALACE PLAY
is ROMANTIC
AND STRIKING
Ronald Colin an, ,
issaLandiinPO-
HticdI Story.

u OMANTIC drama in its pulsating
IN best, with that always attractive
element that strong man and
wholesome woman are helping to save
their country, is offered in The Mas
querader," on the screen at the Palace
Theater. Americans who have faced
the same kind of crisis will admire
the production, because convincing fic-
ton is created in the story, and 1t Is
difficult to believe that Ronald Colman
and ELISA Landi could be surpassed
by any other actors in two somewhat
difficult roles.
The play has previously become
known to the public through a novel
and a stage play. Its ingenious sltua
tions increase the heart beats. and the
work offers unusual opportunities for
the photographing of mass scenes
which have the force of turmoil among
the people. While the appeal is to
Americans, who have been keyed to
an intense interest in public affairs. its
scenes in Great Britain remove it from
the realm of any possible distortion Of
domestic affairs One failure and one
success in legislative speechmaking fur
nish a dramatic contrast, and the dlf-
ference between the unfaithful husband
and public official. and his double, who
takes his place in the home and the
halls of legislation, is an admirable
study of character with continuous
punch.
One of the most delicately fashioned
scenes to be found in the films is the
night episode, involving the masque-
rading double and the wife of his
cousin, when the woman enters his
room, thinking that he is her husband,
and in order to maintain his obliga-
tions to both, he adopts an assumed
attitude of cruelty, to drive her from
him without revealing his identity. In
view of the crude handling of such
matters which appears to be possible,
especially in motion pictures, the Incl
dent is one of the most satisfying that
could be offered. If the star and his
featured associate had done nothing
else worth while in the films, they
would be entitled to the highest credit
for the skillful and gratifying per-
formance at this point. 1t would
stamp Mr. Colman and Miss Landi as
most capable actors of the first rank.
Their work throughout the play is of
the kind that inspires applause, and
Mr. Colman's task is made the more
important by the necessity that he
shall appear as two different persons.
Among the supporting actors who
perform with skill are Juliette Comp
ton and Halliwell Hobbies. while David
florence is well cast in a political
character, and other members of the
company are Creighton Hale, Helen
Jerome Eddy. Eric Wilton and Mon
tague Shaw.
One of the short films on the Palace
program shows Col. Lindbergh's spec
tacular welcome in Denmark, while the
others have considerable merit.

THE title Of the new film at R-K-O
Keith's is we'll chosen. "One
Mans Journey is just that. 1t is the
recording Of the life history of a coun-
try doctor from the moment of his
first failure to his last success-a long,
rather rambling account of a good man
who is so good, that after a while you
feel like throwing a brick at the next
person who says 'he is wonderful
man"
Lionel Barrymore, as Eli Watt, is a
"OIluelluI man. buC tnere are so many
guide posts and sign posts to tell you
$3.50 many obvious tricks to help you
make sure that you gather that fact.
that you begin to wish that the good

will be devoted to watching her hus-
band save people as they hop into and
eff the falls-and that he will be doing
what seventy and seven characters keep
telling you he is doing, namely: Help

1t may be unjust to Lionel Barry
more and his new film to speak thus
roughly of it. Frankly, it has been i'm
proved since We first saw it. But it
still seems to us to be an unconvincing
