MRS. VALLEE TO SEEK
$7,4OO MONTHLY FEE
Suit to Be- Started Next Week Also
Will Ask $4,000 in
Counsel Costs.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. January 12.-Tem-
porary alimony OF S7.400 a month and
attorney fees of $4,000 will be asked by
Fay Webb Vallee when she goes into
court here next Wednesday to begin
prosecution Of suit for separate main
tenarce against Rudy Vallee, orchestra
leader
The demands of Mrs. Vallee were dis
closed in answer to a wifes question
naire filed in connection with the suit,
which accused Vallee of indiscretions

Faye, actress and a member of his
troupe

she will seek to abrogate, Mrs. Vallee

has directed 1t, and Tor Mr. LukaS
The producers have, however. made
the mistake of casting Elisa Landi IN
a role she is totally unsuited to. Al
though she tries very hard, and is oc-
casionally convincing on the whole her
performance is a long, long way from
perfection, and she must have felt her
self. that this sort Of business is not
her forte.
Miss Landi playing the part Of lady
who masquerades as maid would be
one thing But Miss Landi playing
maid who maSqueradeS as lady Is
another. In this film, the ladyilke
qualities which Miss Landi has to as
sumo, thus submerging her backstairs
soul unfortunately keep popping up TO
a far greater degree than what is meant
to be her lady's maid characteristics.
The result is that, at the end OF the
film, it is hard to believe that she
could ever be, or ever has been, the
ambitious little ''toughy" who whips her
mistress dresses out of the closet and
parades here and there as a woman
OF fashion.
Mr.. LukaS does his share of the mas
uuerading with ease and conviction.
When he is playing prince. he still has
his stiff butlering manners. Even when
he makes love, he has not the freedom
of speech or of action which he had
learned from his master. Every ges-
ture. every word, every trick of his
trade has been used by Mr.. Lukas with
the utmost elegance.
Whether you like Miss Landi or not,
the film is the sort of an entertain
ment that will please you-being what
they call "continentsl''-which means
that they get away with few little
things which the American stage would
not know what to do with. Anything

The programs of these concerts are
excellently put together and always of
high order of merit. Even when
popular numbers are included the
chorus interprets them in dignified
manner. Last evenings program was
no exception to the rule they seem to
have established and there was nice
variety and balance Of mood that did
away with any possibility OF monotony
There are not many choral groups

and the "Serenade" from Rombergs
Student Prince" and infuse them with
their proper spirit. 1t is in such ap-
probation OF values that the chorus
shows its individuality and the artistic
insight Of It's leader. Mr.. Aitchison.
The men sing with virility, but with
out force and with uniformity Of feeling
for the gradation of effects. They con-
centrate on the sharp defining Of con-
trast and are alert In their attack and
release OF tone The clearness of
enunciation even in quick passages is
another pleasurable asset of these
singers. Solo measures in Foote'S The
Farewell of Hiawatha" we're excellently
carried by the resonant voice of Charles
Wood and in Romberg's "Serenade" the
incidental quartet music was sung by
Ross Farrar, Andrew wilkins, Charles
Wood and e. r. Kidwell with such fine
effect that an encore was demanded.
Aurelia Beck as soloist proved to be
one of the most pleasing singers heard
In some time Her voice is pure and
sweet In quality and one feels in her
interpretations a seriousness OF under
standing that makes for fine lieder
singers. and when her voice has grown
in solidity, there is no reason why she
should not become an outstanding artist.
Her singing. particularly Of the solo
parts of the Brahms Rhapsody" was

underlying correctness Of feeling that
must be inborn to be effective.

Mrs. Campbell describes the screen

Great Promise.
OF Norma Shearer. in whose picture,
rip Tide" she is playing part, Mrs.
Campbell has this to say:
1T is a pity that Miss Shearer chose
to give herself to the screen rather than
to the theater. But I am sure she
could quickly master stage technique If
she wanted to, and think would win
great success in the theater.
Her personality has a perfume that
would carry across the footlights and
delight audiences gaining for her their
sympathy. a thing without which no
stage actress can hope to succeed.
Norma Shearer knows her job
thoroughly and understands the me-
chanicS of picture making in every de-
tail
