And Tears

Bureau Of Missing Persons"
main screen attraction at the
Earle Theater this week is a
series of episodes founded upon
the heartaches and the tragedy
which are concealed in the files
Of metropolitan police depart
ment.
It gets off to grim and grue-
some start at the morgue, but be-
fore the chapters have proceeded
far, the authors recognize the
need for a comedy blend and so
some far-fetched laughs are intro
duced, appreciated, though they
rob the story of a genuine
quality.
Love Nest Incident
Most interesting of the tabloid
tales of disappearance is that
Of the boy. genius of the violin.
He runs away from Carnegie
Hall recital, finds a hideaway on
slums roof, is eventually re-
stored to his fond parents arms
with a word of advice to let him
be a real kid instead of slave to
the instrument. This is we'll acted
by Tad Alexander, Pat O'Brien,
Wallis Clark and Marjorie Gate
son.
The tired business man who
dropped out of sight and was
located in a love nest is another
we'll acted incident with Noel
Francis, Clay Clement and Lewis
Stone as the bright stars.
The main theme Of this pic
ture is a trifle involved in plot
telling of a Chicago murder and
the flight Of the schemer. Bette
Davis, Pat O'Brien and Al a n
Dinehart are concerned in this
plotting, with much the best
acting done by the villain Of the
incident, Mr.. Dinehart.
You will find both amusing
and extravagant comedy provided
by Glenda Farrell, Alan jenkins,
Ruth Donnelly, George Chandler
and Hugh Herbert.

The title may give you no clue
to the story but we find our

the old gray mare against the
stork, getting his pay in pota'
toes, turnips and squash, sending
his son out to get the scientific
training he could not afford,
doing Ills good deed each day
and getting a great kick out OF
the record.
There is also the time when,
single-handed, he wiped out the
plague of smallpox, gave the lit

their screaming children to him

ache, and to all he had the same

In the gratitude of a world-re-

May Robson adds wholesome
note, Joel McCrea fails to i'm

to be "done wrong by" and even
that precious bundle Of baby

Ronald CoIman in
'Masquerader

"The Masquerader," whic h
served so many years for Guy
Bates Post as a stage attraction,
has been brought up to date as a
starring vehicle for Ronald Col
man, and is presented as this
weeks feature at the Palace.
Placed against background OF
the economic crisis in Great
Britain, John Chilcote and John
Loder live once more in this melo-
dramatic story of a man brought
by fate to play another's role.
For the most part, "The Mas
querader" holds up very we'll. The
one really awkward spot in the
story is the rather far-fetched CO.
incidence where Chilcote appears
at just the moment to prevent
Loder'S unmasking. Colman, of
course, plays the dual roles, and
ELISA Landi is allur1ng beyond
her wont as Eve Chilcote, whose
husband had become estranged
but with whom Loder falls deep
ly in love.
The story is familiar to stage
patrons of some years ago, less
so to movie goers. John Chill
cote, brilliant orator, member of
Parliament, becomes addicted to
drugs, and fails his party in a
crisis. Stumbling home in fog,
he meets his counterpart-a
cousin, John Loder, long absent
from England. Later, to avoid
his responsibilities. he goes to
Loder to ask him to speak to the
House, and Loder, ultimately per-
suaded, finally takes over the
Chilcote personality when the
real Chilcote dies.
An excellent supporting cast
presents Juliette Compton as the
"other woman" Halliwell Hobbies
as the faithful and ever-present
Brock, and David Torrence and
Eric Wilton as party leaders.
Creighton Hale is seen briefly in
a minor role.
"A "Silly symphony" an In
dian novelty, Ted Healy in a
short musical feature and the
news reel, with views Of the Ma
rines at Quantico, complete the
bill.

Star Of
Columbia Film

Director Mamoulin has achieved
great heights in pure photo
graphic beauty and effect in
Marlent Dietrich's film, Song of
Songs" which is now playing a
return engagement at the Co.
lumbia this week.
The glamorous Dietrich has
been given the benefit of the
combined talents of many
cameras and subdued lighting
which enhance a beauty well
worth the effort. But with the
concentration on camera angles
and pictorial effects the dra-
matte power of the story has
been sacrificed. Miss Dietrich,
too, seems to have come under
the spell of her directors beauty
mania, for her sole contribution
to the dramatic arts consists of
a series of transitory studies in
facial expression, all beautiful.
The romance itself hinges on
the creation of a statue, mas
terpiece, by penniless sculptor
under the inspiration of his
lovely model. She finds the
great love she has been seeking,
and he flees to pursue a career
unencumbered. But the statue
remains to remind him and they
are finally reunited after Miss
Dietrich has run the gamut from
great lady to night club enter
tainer.
Supporting la Dietrich in the
role of sculptor is Brian Aherne,
the fiery, vital Browning of
Katherine Cornell's, "The Bar
1etts of Wimpole Street." Here,
too, we find a disappointment,
for Mr.. Aherne under the
cameras eye has lost his
whimsy, which we hope he finds
in future ventures in the cinema.
