Frank Bucks Latest Jungle Film
wild Cargo" Now at Keith's

It seems impossible that after
one engrossing film of Mr.. Buck
and his wild animals that we
could sit open-mouthed through
the unreeling of another. But
that is what "Wild Cargo" did to
us at Keith's yesterday, and if
life seems a bit dull we would
recommend an early visit this
week.
Mr.. Buck is equipped with pho
tographers who evidently know
their business and their ANIMALS,
too, unless he chains them in one
spot and gently Shoes panthers,
elephants and man-eaters past to
see the birdie. We can't but be
convinced, skeptic though we are,
that this is authentic. Certainly
Mr.. Bucks favorite recreation is
not playing wrestling games with
pythons and those aren't stuffed
animals reposing in the ZOOS
about the country.
This is all by way of saying
that wild Cargo" Frank Bucks
latest saga of the jungle and his
bring 'em back alive" practices
is a film we'll worth your time.

Will Rogers Film
At Columbia

Will Rogers return in "David
Harum" to Loew's Columbia bids
fair to bring forth that SRO sign
for the week. A second viewing
of this superb characterization by
the great American humorist only
enhances the keen enjoyment of a
delightful and subtle comedy.
The play is neither subjugated
to the actor, nor the actor to the
play, but the two are so perfectly
blended that the result leaves
nothing to be desired as worthy
bit of entertainment. The shrewd,
good-hearted horse trader has the
spotlight all to himself, though
such artists as Louise Dresser,
Evelyn Venable and Stephin
Fechit are able assistants.
David's trade with the Deacon
Perkins is a masterpiece and his
spontaneous outburstS of "Well,
dust my buttons" is quite likely
to set this incredulous exclama-
ton resounding round the town.,
In short, theatergoers who have
not heard Will at his best should
be on hand.

Loew's Fox this week has holi-
day program which includes
George Whites Scandals" for
adult entertainment, and Howard
Thurston, the master magician,
for juvenile diversion.
Thurston, without a doubt, has
no peer on the stage today. His
tricks, from sleight-of-hand to
spectacular illusions" are exc
cuted with finesse, humor and un-
limited knowledge of Snowman
ship.
Instead of reducing his program
in size and elaborateness from the
presentation of his legitimate
theater days it has been expanded
and improved. Yesterdays au-
dience, both children and grown
ups, seemed to delight in every
number.
Extensive Program
Thurston begins with a giant
hat, from which he takes any
number of objects, including sew
eral girls. Then follow card
manipulation, saving a lady in
half, the floating ghost and many
others. Daughter Jane does a
few on her own hook, too. AS a
climax Magician Thurston causes
a girl to vanish from cage
hoisted to the dome of the
theater.
The entire proceedings are con-

White, who is one of the most

Palace Features
Norma Shearer's s
New Film

Its all quite gay and daring
with some Of the smarter lines
of the seasons offerings made
milk-white by its saucy tone. It's
"Riptide" we're calling to your
attention and its showing cur
rently at Mr.. Loew's Palace.
The story, and it's a pithy
one, concerns itself with a thor
oughly charming young woman,
brimming with good humor and
deeply in love with her hus-
band. It so happens that he Is
an English nobleman and she a
reckless and carefree girl of New
York, wealthy. attractive and
willful.
They meet in a most amusing
manner and she tells him that
her past has a few spots in it,
but his cold, calm reserve is
wellmatched by her lively spirit.
So for five years they find happi-
ness and what was presumed to
be, a perfect understanding; then
he is called back to the States
on business and she dashes off
to Cannes for a holiday and
there lolling in the sunshine Of
utter laziness, tinged with bore
dom, flares a still smouldering
flame of those early years.
A nasty scandal breaks and
the Unconditional husband goes a
little bit mad; the wife grows
defiant, and a most unhappy
time is had by all with tears
mixed with smiles, and heart
break a very poor substitute for
those years Of. perfect content.
All of which sounds a little dis
concerting, but Norma Shearer,
lovely and cool and altogether
charming, makes the role of Mary
very real and human and honest,
while Herbert Marshall is excel
lent as the husband (this is a
concession, our private opinion
heretofore having been not so
flattering). Robert Montgomery,
co-starred with Miss Shearer, Is
the devil-may-care lad who causes
the unhappiness, but is sporting
about it all; Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell is her dear, amusing best.
For good measure there are the
late lamented Lilyan Tashman,
Ralph Forbes, Skeets Gallagher,
George K. Arthur, Helene Jerome
Eddy, fine names and fine players,
all.
Tragedy and comedy stalking
along in the approved Shearer
manner; its good to have her back
after all those months.
