former in a more continuous piece
of melodrama than has been his
fortune in the past. He reveals
neW sense of humOF and enthusiasm
for the physical hazards Of life. He
accepts the challenge of the COM
mon foe with Zsst which leaves no
room for more subtle affairs, and
marches into dangerous ambushes
with complete assurance. He has
a new type of dignity. but it is the
quality that goes with the feeling
that he can master any situation
involving those foes who are so
careless of human life. He wins the
chosen partner of the chief of the
plotters. and gives force to some
very interesting scenes.
Miss Gibson is no less active in
the development of the drama, for
her role is one Of human character
in the midst of, the turmoil of dam
gerous living. I She is required to
display the strategy Of the woman
who conciliates the bad, but re-
mains loyal to the worthwhile.
Vivacity and conviction are offered
in her playing. and she proves to
be fitting partner OF the chief OF
the cast. James GLEASON and LOIS
Wilson also contribute to the success
of the picture, and one of the Incl
dental features is the work of Dickie
Moore of the Our Gang" aggrega-
ton, whose conspicuous part as a
child who is temporarily crushed
under speeding wheels is as credit
able a bit as he has ever done.

'wo-Piano Ensemble
'leases at Morning Concert.

TWO-PIANO ensemble has no
better exponentS than Mary
Howe and Anne Hull who were
leard yesterday at the Friday Morn
hg Music Club. Their work is con-
Use, and so well balanced and even
hat 1t sounds as one instrument.
The harmony of their tone quality is
well developed and their ideas are
SO much in accord that the domi-
nance of one over the other is
imperceptible.
The three cantatas of Bach,
transcribed by Mary Howe, were
played with velvety tone, specially
remarked in "Schafe," and crisp
agility which was most noteworthy
in Gewisslichwahr. The amusing
''Cache- Cache" of Taillefer and the
"Jazz Study" by Hill, which had to
be repeated were light contrasts to
the Poisoned Fountain" Of Box and
the rather heavily oedecked ''Valse"
of Ravel.
Both p.anists appeared also on the
program as composers. In her Suite
IMelancolique, Mrs. Howe had the
assistance of Milton Schwartz, vio-
linist, and Sidney Hamer. cellist. in
a musicianly ensemble. Two of her
songs. "Abendlied' and THE Rag
picker" were sung by Wilfred Smith.

Evenings for Sale"
Comic Opera Story. at Fox.

0EVENINGS FOR SALE" at
- Loew's Fox this week. is a
comic opera story hln1ed without es-
pecial benefit either of comedy or of
opera An impoverished Viennese
noDleman plans to kill himself the
night before his ancestral castle is TO
be sold at auction. but changes his
mind in favor of a final fling at a
maSque ball There, of course. he
meets the heroine of this drama.
The count decides to live.
offered a iob by Heroine Lela S
father, prosperous leather mer-
chant, who must have sold most of
his leather to eX-noblemen for food,
the count replies: What. accept
job as charity? Never" Thereupon
he resolves to earn an honest living
as gigolo at night club run by
his former butler and his eX-valet.
A rich American widow appears on
the unhappy scene at this point,
buys the counts castle and has the
good sense to refuse to marry him
despite his polite offer Of matri-
mony. With the castle converted
into a modern apartment house, the
count becomes the manager and
rushes off to marry his true love.
Through the dilatory and dis
jointed episodes of this masterpiece
wanders a cast Of bright comedians
who ought to be able to make the
telephone book funny. They are SO
appalled,. however. when confronted
with clumsy fripperies and blunder-
ing attempts to achieve the LubitSch
touch that they play their roles like
a lot of mediums (or media, per-
hapsl catching UP on their trance
works.
Herbert Marshall makes the Count
a sophisticated wooden Indian. AS
the American widow, Mary Boland
struggles bravely to be amusing at
first, finally lapSing into the gloomy
boredom which envelopS the re-
mainder Of the cast. Sari Martha,
as Leila, expresses the nine necessary
emotions of program picture
heroine by pulling her upper lip back
from her teenth like q playful colt.
Apparently less annoyed with the
story than the others, Charles
Ruggles makes a fair success Of the
part of Bimful, the batty butler.
Such comedy as is around belongs
TO him.
On the vaudeville stage, the
prestidigitator Nicola does some dis
appearing acts, which make Russell
Sherwood and Judge Crater obvious
as Grants Tomb. Lita Grey Chaplin
has no great success with her song
numbers, although the Subway
Blues" possesses possibilities. Britt
Wood and his harmonica seemed to
lead the field in ensnaring the au-
diepce's fancy. Other acts are
Gordon, Reed and King, clever
dancers. and Rector and Doreen,
who perform some exciting aerial
gymnastics.
An "Our Gang" comedy and a
news reel round out the bill.

the able flItelape of Director Frank
Borzage-fOr making this the most
effective love story ever screened.
The wording is concise snd accurate
the War scenes are brutal Wneh u
is necessary for them to be so-aro
while 1t is not possible to duplcate
some of the fierce and coarse chap-
tiers of the original. it has been pos
sible to retain much OF the tsnoer-
ness and the cynical Sentlmentahty
and that spirit of chivalry which Is
built up in both the leading CHAR
aCters.
Romance has had a pretty tough
time heretofore on the screen. But
in this it is treated so skilfully that
even in the last tragic stages it is
not heapcd high with over-expres-
sive sentiment. Here the producers
have been wise in leaving in Mr..
HemineWays own words. Little "cin-
ema" is added-except the shading
given by the director, the words as
spoken with heartrending sincerity
by Miss Hayes and that final burst
of sunrise which surrounds the two
players as they are saying their last
say to each other.
The film has much that no other
film has ever had before. Its beauty
is not strictly pictorial, its actors
are not strictly handsome, its end
ing Is far from land they lived hap
PLY ever after" In each of these
matters true feeling and the beauty
of intense living and intense devo-
tion suppiant the superficial gloss Of
the story. Mr.. Hemingway did rot
write this for the movies, so neceS-
sarily some Of the strength OF his
pen is lost. But the movies have
been generous in their imitation Of
him-and they have done all they
can to retain his vigor and his
peculiarly brutal charm.
Helen Hayes performance must
be seen to be appreciated. 1t is un-
questionably the new seasons most
perfect Characterization. And Gary
Cooper breaks the ice that has been
surrounding him all these years and
becomes as soft and as pliable and
as human as no one ever thought he
could be. OF them all, only Adolph
Menjou doesn't quite seem to fit his
shoes
The story need not be told 1t is
war and it Is life-aDd it is, Of
course, very sad. Say to yourself
as you enter the theater. If you
have tears. prepare to shed them
now And if you havent-wel,
then we're wrong.

Grace BorroughS
In Dance Recital,

In Dance Recital.
THE second Of the series of con-
certs given by the Musical
Artists OF America at the Willard
Hotel presented Grace Borroughs
yesterday evening in a dance re-
cital. The program was arranged
with the view of portraying the
spirit of India in dance form and
the short explanatory notes of each
dance were supplemented by an in
troductory talk in which Miss Bor-
roughS further explained her objec-
tive.
The stage was effectively lighted
and added atmosphere was given
by the native drum, played by Carl
Catlin, and Gilbert Feelemyer, clari-
netist, in native costume, and Louis
Potter. jr., cellist. The costumes
used by Miss Borroughs were au-
thentic and of beautiful variety and
enhanced by tinkIing native Jewelry.
Miss Borroughs has made thor
ough study, not only of the dance
form, but the spirit animating 1t
and her sincerity Of purpose was
evident throughout Beyond this,
she did not succeed in thoroughly
conveying the idea or the mysticism
that is so large part of everything
East Indian. Her brusqueness Of
movement had an occidental char
acter and the sameness OF means Of
Interpretation tended toward mo-
notony.
The Water Carrier" and "Sup-
plication" were the numbers in
which a stronger sense of feeling
was outstanding. In The Lotus"
and "Nautch Leila" the tempt taken
was too lively to permit the slowly
developed thought of the one or the
Willowy grace of the other to be
apparent A very lovely bit, how
ever, was the "Sari Winding" in
which Miss Borroughs was assisted
by Frances Rands, pupil of Marian
Chace and Lester Shafer and which
had to be repeated.
The audience was large and Sc
lect one and seemed thoroughly in
terested in the well planned pro-
gram. A E.
