ACCENT ON YOUTH"
AT METROPOLITAN
Smart Play in Film Still Popular
With Washington The
ater Patrons

ONE of the smartest of last seasons
~ Broadway successes. S ms SON
RaphaelSon's Accent on Youth
bounceS back into the collective lap
of Washington movie shoppers with
its intellect drama, as Paramount's
accurate screen version of the Love
Begins at As" play is being hauled
out for a second week of F street
billing at the Metropolitan.
Showing that the heart throbs of
love and the headaches of youth are
not always synonymous. it sketches
a merry -go-round cross section of
how mfddle-aged playwright might
behave if blessed with the ultra
blandness of Herbert Marshall and
the outspoken love Of young secre-
tary like Sylvia Sidney, who believes
so firmly in December-May unions
that she finally overcomes the ,au-
thor's prejudices to play he has writ
ten on this theme, and to the diff
ferences in their ages to bridge the
breach between both.
Despite a Cyrano- Christian bit of
love coaching, in which Marshall drills
his young rival. Philip Reed, in the
art of heart winning so successfully.
or unsuccessfully, as to have the rival
walk of with the fair lady, the result
is even less serious for the play
wright's frame of mind than it was
for old Cyranos. The rival, per-
petual-motion athlete, turns life into
a physical culture course to such an
extent that his bride rushes back to
her author lover in six months.
At times gay. cynical and ever
sophisticated Accent on Youth" is
well handled by Mr. Herbert and Miss
Sidney and made doubly entertain
ing by the veteran Theater Guilder,
Ernest CoSsart. whose butlering puts
him in fllmland's front ranks as a
gentleman's gentleman. and the viva
cious Astrid Allwyn, who gives notice
she will bear future watching as she
gracefully alternates with Mr. Reed
in being that part of changing tri-
angle that has Mr.. Marshall and Miss
Sidney in the two other corners.
If you are interested, the film also
offers Lon CLANCY, jr, few brief
moments to show that he looks more
like foot ball player than sue
cessor to his fathers character throne.
DR.. Laion Taylor, radios Voice of
Experience, appears briefly to start a
short which permits the voice. to
elucidate anent some of the problems
Of the combination problem solving and
true confessions business. Phil Spit
alny's feminine musicians present a
program of music to feature the
Metropolitans supplementary bill.
A cartoon and the usual newsreel
are thrown in for good measure.

ment of the ownership of this song,
"Headin' Home" which Ollie wrote
and had stolen from him by an un-
scrupulous music publisher. Ollie
proves he wrote it by bringing into
court for a musical fiesta to show the
judges the sources of his music, a
group Of colored people, cowboys, In
dians and hill-billies.
This is a novel and entertaining
procedure, but the edge is taken of,
when Ollie's attorney tells the court
that nobody wrote these songs for
these people; that they come from the
heart and the good folk have been
singing them for generations The
attorney says this, mind you, of a
group of songs including "Old Black
Joe" and "Oh, Susanna" and while
the judge does not seem to mind,
some of Stephen Fosters friends are
apt to cock left eyebrow.
Probably it all is amusing enough,

settling Big Joe Rogas once and for all!
They made the break over the wall
and raced away in black sedan that
waited outside.
Head for the northern part of the
State" Big Joe instructed, after
Jimmie had acquainted him with the
driver, an old pal named Butch, who
in reality was one of Prosecutor Pres
tons ace aides.
They reached the hide-out of
Rogas, a little cottage nestled in a
secluded section of the country, just
20 miles from the town where Big
Joe had robbed Jimmie's fathers
bank. So Rogas had, to all indica-
tions, hidden the money in the vicin-
ity of the robbery, Jimmy felt Ger
tain.
GEVERAL grim days passed in Sc
clusion with the three men. Rogas
nervous, unable to sleep, spent his
time rummaging around the place.
He appeared one morning with suit
case and made the announcement,
"I think we'd better split, kid. You
fellows can take me to the railroad
station" Big Joe told them.
They got in the big black car and
whisked along the highway to town.
To the very town where Big Joe
had raided the bank of Jimmie's
father!
They sped along the road, Big Joe
in the back seat and Jimmie in front
with Preston's aide driving. They had
only Travelled a few miles when Big
joe snarled: "Stopl"
The driver brought the car to a
sudden halt. Both men turned to
face brace of pistols in Big Joe's
hands. He glared at them hatefully.
"Get out" the bandit snapped.
Thought you had me, didn't you?
Thought I'd fall for that stool
pigeon gag of you sittin' in stir with
me for a year" He laughed and
cursed at the pair. Il oughtta knock
both you punks off, but I haven't
time. Thought you'd get that 200
grand, didn't you-the dough thatS
right here In this bag?" 4
Start walkin'," Big Joe growled
after he searched them both for
arms, leveling pistol at each Of
them. He stood there waiting until
Jimmie and the driver were several
hundred yards down the road, then
they heard the car roar away.
"Too bad about Big joe" Jimmie
uttered to his companion as they
trudged along the dusty highway.
HE won't get very far with every
road alive with Preston's officers.
And he's got the money, too. Well,
there should be some compensation
for enduring his company as a CELL
mate for q year." Jimmie concluded
philoSophically.

ROGERS HUMAN DRAMA
CONTINUES AT PALACE
Steamboat Round the Bend
Goes Into Second Week
of Capital Showing.

WILL ROGERS next to the last
film, Steamboat Round the
Bend" pleasant and leisurely picture
of life on the Mississippi back in its
boom days, before swifter and sturdier
modes of transport outmoded the
romantic stern -wheelerS, remains at
the Palace for a second week.
The film is one of the best Will
Rogers ever made. All through his
cinema caRer, he increased in stature
as a movie actor, and became more at
home before the cameras. In this he
advanced beyond his amiable cracker
barrel se-cracking, and exhibited an
ability to do things with other human
emotions than the sense of humor. He
could, he proved. arouse the sympathy
of movie audience for a man whose
nephew was sentenced to be hanged.
He could make thoroughly authentic
and understandable the man who
would have nothing to do with the
swamp girl his nephew loved, because
he felt she was to blame for all the
trouble
But Wills battle to save his nephew
from the moose is just the more serious
side of a film which has little that
really Is serious about it. Steamboat"
is just a very human tale, with a lot
of comedy and q lot of good, old
fashioned hokum, that makes sure-flre
entertainment. 1t captures admirably
the spirit of those old days on the
river, and if you are sucker for any
tale of steamboating in the South, a
very small part of Steamboat Round
the Bend" will make you feel just a
bit sorry that trains and busses had
to come along.
To present its steamboat saga, the
film has some rich characters. Aside
from Will, who appears as an timer
ant peddler of potent patent remedy
for most anything, there are the
New Moses" white-robed and top
hated river evangelist, played superb
ly by Berton Churchill; the uncon-
cerned sheriff who, when the nephew
has committed the murder who gives
himself up in the middle of the night,
tosSes the Jail key out the window
that the prisoner may lock himself
in, played by Eugene Palette, and
Irwin Cobb, who settles as comfort
ably into his role as river pilot as he
could if he had been in the movies
for years.
The high light Of the comedy is
arrived at in the climax of the film.
when Will enters the ancient steam
boat he has bought in race to the
State capital, for the dual purpose
Of licking Capt. Cobb and getting to
the Governor with the evidence that
will save his nephew.
When the New Moses" righteouSly
tosses bottle of Wills tonic into the
f1re-box, after all the fuel is ex-
hausted, and the boys discover its ex-
plosive qualities and then throw case
after case of it into the flames and
win the race thereby, you will roll in
the aisle, unless you are immune to
hokum. If you are, you should not
attend the movies.
You want to watch for the wedding
in the Jail, too, for Director John
Ford has here intermingled comedy
with tragedy as adeptly as it ever has
been combined in q motion picture
sequence. The principals in the we'd
ding are the nephew and the swamp
girl. of course, played by John Nc
Guire and Anne Shirley, both of whom
do very well in the rest of the film,
too. HIM.

"MR. PIN" is PLAYED
BY TRIANGLE CLUB
Production at Y. M. c. A. Re-
ceived With Approval by
Friends of Cast.

Friends of Cast.
WIHIMSIES and nonsensicalities last
night bounced merriiy across the
stage OF the Y. M. G. A. assembly room,
where the Triangle Club Players per-
formed A. A. Mines "Mr. PIN
Passes By"
Mr.. PIN, the English equivalent Of
CaSpar Milquetoast, should have passed
more often. Fred Cole, as Mr.. PIN,
was greeted with applause that made
the rust grosgrain curtains quiver.
made the silver decorations shake,
made old gentlemen in the audience
hold their sides.
The play, being one of Mines, con-
sists mostly of nonsense, light dialogue
and a mislaid husband. These, then.
are the ingredients which upset the
quiet Bucking Hampshire home of
Olivia and George Marden.
John Kendrick, playing the part of
Marden, was more careful of his diction
than others in the cast were. He is
the best local exponent of Mai.
Hoople'S by-word that we have heard
"harumphing" in every corner Of the
stage with ease.
Mr.. PIN inadvertently mentions
that he knew Mr.. Pelworthy in
Australia and that Mr.. Pelworthy had
left for England on the same boat on
which Caraway PIN Travelled. This
puts Olivia in a spot, of course.
Which is Mr.. Mines favorite trick.
She's rather calmer about her dead
husband returning 70 the vale of tears
than one would expect. But Milne
knows that we know that his drama
is all make believe" So it doesn I
matter. Olivia, otherwise known as
Glare Sargent, is nice to listen to, and
even nicer to watch. She is placid
without being too reticent, and her
poise is remarkable in an amateur.
The third act finds all the loose
strings being tied up into neat little
knots, which will not again become
loosened. Rosemary Walker and
Dixie Diket find out that clouds are
round" after all, but love is worth
this concession which they make to
Marden.
Charles Gilman did an able Job of
directing and is to be congratulated
on last nights perfo1 nance. NJ w.

the act was provided by Nita Carroll,
singer, who also had to give 'em
more before she was allowed to leave
the spotlight. Maestro Cugat himself
plays feelthy fiddle effectively, and
the band, from the coW-beller down
to the man who makes a living scrap
ing the gourd, is lively every moment.

TWO holdovers and repeat engage
ment of Anna Karenina" this
week attest the fact that local film
fare is picking up in both popularity
and quality. The Belasco has decided
to retain The Man Who Knew Too
Much" for another week in order that
all good Washingtonians may observe
Peter Lorre's skillful villainies, while
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers con-
tinue to hold the fort at RKO-Keith's
with their frothy masterpiece Top
Hat"
Top Hat" has been in town three
weeks, says fourth without doubt and
may grow up to be the oldest living
native before it moves away. The film
has been such a tremendous success
that in New York they report some
people were trying to open charge
accounts during the run, for them
selves and all the friends they wanted
to send to see it several times. Hardie
Meakin has bolstered his program this
week with the sixth issue of the
March of Time" news short subject,
dramatizing events of the day.
*
IF EVERY ONE in it did nothing else
but sit around and makes faces,
Anna Karenina" would be worth see
ing once, twice or more times for the
sake of Greta Garbo's performance
Happily it also offers an. intelligent
adult story, the brilliant pageantry of
Czayist Russia, some of Clarence
Browns most inspired direction (and
some sof his worst in one or two in
significant spots), and competent sup
porting work by Basil Rathbone. Fred
die Bartholomew, Reginald Owen and
others. Fredric March is the only
stumbling block. As lover he has all
the charm of a tailor's dummy, but
Mr.. March may be forgiven. They've
been dressing him up in so many
fancy costumes lately he probably has
begun to believe he actually is
clothes horse.
The Columbia always offers an aux
iliary program of short subjects and
whatnotS.

Dig JUG UUSdS,
the ruggedly handsome young Smith,
his voice edged in emotion, declared
directly, stole 100000 from my
fathers bank. He caused the dis
missal of my dad by the board of
directors under a cloud of collusion;
he caused my father to lose the re-
spect of people who had trusted him
a lifetime And as you know" young
Smith averred with a tinge of bit
terness, "the affair hastened my
fathers death.
Il believe that Rogas has hidden
the money in the hope that he can
get to it if he ever escapes from
prison. My desire" the youthful
Jimmie climaxed, "is to see that the
money is returned to the bank and
to clear my fathers name"
THE gray-haired prosecutor gave
the lad kindly look.
you realize, Jimmie" he advised.
that Big Joe is desperate criminal
of extreme cunning. 1t may not be
a matter Of weeks or months to bait
him into your plan"
I'm willing, if it takes years"
Jimmie answered with grim firmness.
Big Joe Rogas was a cagey GRIM
inal A giant of man, he was
Surly and savage, and a dangerous
prisoner. 1t took Jimmie months as
a cellmate and worker in the rat
tan factory of the prison to get
civil word from the burly law
breaker
Jimmie made no hurried attempts
to cultivate Big Joe. He went along
in the miserable prison routine. letting
the daily association with the bandit
run its natural course. Days lapsed
into weeks and weeks added into
months and the months piled up to
make it a year in the big house for
Jimmie Smith.
you mean to tell me you can
spring me from this penn" Big Joe
scoffed in a prison hush to Jimmie
one afternoon as they worked to-
gether in the rattan factory about the
time that Jimmie had decided that
he might begin the build-up of weav-
ing Big Joe into his plans.
Big Joe looked at the young fell
low disdainfully, yet Jimmie was GER
