Shades of Eugene O'Neill!
Those famous spoken thoughts"
put the smart edge to the ro-

Get Married." did Slim and zaSu,
and they had been saving for
nigh on to 10 years to take the
fatal step with a honeymoon at

their old master dies and leaves

servants until the serpent, in the
form of a lovely lady, dances into
their paradise and then jealousy
breaks up the home and ZaSu
has to win Slim all over again.
It's an hilarious hour for the
audience; the wedding scenes

A Cellar Habitue

I've been kidding a great deal
in this column, of course, and
by the time I return to New
York, I'll probably be a con-
firmed plane addict. But 1
have a natural dislike for high
places, and I'll have to conquer
that uncomfortable feeling be-
fore I really grow to like the
game. You must enjoy alti-
tudeS-and I'm a man who
has grown round-shouldered
from walking into cellars.
The whole thing reminds me
of something that happened to
Capt. Frank Hawks, the grand
flier, a few years ago. Frank
was scheduled to fly from CleWe-
land, Ohio, to New York one
morning, in a small open plane.
At the request of mutual friends
he agreed to take along a pas
senger who hadn't had much
flying experience.
Before they stepped into the
plane both Hawks and his pas
senger donned their parachutes.
When his device was adjusted,
Frank put on a heavy fur coat
that he was in the habit of
wearing on chilly days. His
slightly nervous passenger looked
on with big eyes.
THAT coat" he stammered.
"Y-y-you put on a parachute
first and then you put a big
coat over it. W-w-what's the
big idea?"
The noted flier smiled easily.
Nothing to worry about" he
replied. II sometimes get bit
chilly. And if anything hap
pens, I always have plenty Of
time to remove my coat before
I jump"
The passenger said nothing.
He merely Slumped into his
seat in the rear and wet his
lips nervously. A moment
later they were off.
They'd hadn't gone more
than so miles or so when
Frank began to feel warm. He
stood up, removed his fur coat
and sat down again. And he
didn't know until almost an
hour later that his passenger
seeing Frank remove his coat
had leaped from the plane,
opened his parachute, landed
with nothing more than a few
bumps and was more than a
hundred miles behind!

Andrew X. Kelley males.
When he shows the pagan
Romans enjoying their sadistic
sports in the immense Coliseum
the panorama is something worth
watching. Gladiators fight to the
death, a pigmy is speared for the
delight of the multitude and the
lions feast on Christian martyrs.
Sign of the Cross" indeed, be-
comes such a super-spectacle that
the force of Wilson Barrett's
story of the conflict between the
sensuous Nero and the followers
of the Saviour is somewhat dis
sipated. If we must say it the
picture at the National Theater
(twice daily is more interesting
and gripping in its moments of
high revelry than when it is a
screen document for religion and
the power of love over the appeal
of the world and its flesh.
A New Nero Seen
The story as it is revealed in
the 1888 version is substantially
the same as when it was retailed
for the footlights at the turn Of
the century and again in the
silent screen era. Mercia, the
Christian girl, abjureS joys OF
Rome for the comforts Of her
faith. When Nero DEGREES death
for all Christians it is Marcus
Superbus, prefect of Rome, who
rescues her from the mob. His
interest in the virtuous girl
arouses the jealousy of Poppea,
wife of the Emperor. She COM
mands the death of Mercia and
when Marcus Superbus is un-
able to have her renounce Chris
tianity, he prefers to go hand in
hand with her to death in the
arena.
Charles Laughton is the Nero
and gives an interesting study Of

.ayety Revue Is
Lively Show

A nicely balanced show with
just the right proportion of
comedy, dancing, singing and
attractive girls makes "Humming
Honnies," current at the Gayety,
about all one could ask for in
burlesque.
Always playing up the feminine
portion of the show, the Gayety
this week fairly outdoes itself.
While Carmen is absent, replac'
ing her are Mae Dix, Gladys
Smith and Violet Jordan. OF the
trio, Gladys is perhaps the most
vivacious while Violet is by far
the best singer.
The singing, incidentally, has
improved in the last few weeks.
The male end has been well taken
, care of by Ray Parsons, Ruth
Bradley and Joy st. Clair.
Georgia Sothern, held over
from last week, is not so impress
sive as she was then. Billie
Rogers steps out of the chorus
few times to exhibit some we'll
executed steps.
