"A Midsummer Nights Dream
Sunday Night At National

Max Reinhardt's great produc.
ton Of ShakeSpeare's fantasy
comedy, "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" opens tomorrow night
at the National Theater at $3.50,
and will be presented twice daily
thereafter, on a reserved seat
basis.
Hailed as the first real Shake
spearean production ever to
reach the screen, and acclaimed
by numerous critics as the finest
picture ever made, the Dream"
has won outstanding praise in
the cities where it has been pre-
sented. Washington, one of the
first cities outside New York and
London to see the film, is ex-
pected to join the acclaim.
Three leaders in the theatrical
field aided DR.. Reinhardt in the
Observation-Disclosures, who direct
ed the ballet; Mini Theilade, who
performed as premiere danSeuSe,
and Erich Wolfgang Korngole,
who adapted the MendelSSohn
music to the screen production.

himself in the guise of a rich
homes builder, with his deviltry
designed to bring unhappineSs for
most of the boarders. Cellier
does a very neat job with this
Characterization.
Little Rene Ray is a clever in
genue inclined to press, or over
act, her big moments. If one
mentions overacting often it's be-
cause this is positively the worst
fault of the English movies. And
by overacting I mean the con-
scious straining for effects until
it becomes obvious that the char
acter is acting and not living the
part, that over-emphaSis is in
truding where Subtlety would be
more effective.
Good character performances
are, contributed by Mary Clare,
Beatrix Lehman, Anna Lee, Sarah
Algood and Alexander Sarvner.
A Port of Call Travelogue and
the Pathe news reel are included
in the supplementary program.

Tale AtFox

Red-headed Clara Bow in her
widest fits of temper never did a
more thorough job Of tossing
around furniture, smashing lamps
and statuary than does Joan
Crawford as the spoiled rich girl
Of II Live My Life" showing this
week at Loew's Fox. Mr.. Tone
had better look out.
II Live My Life" a scintilating
comedy and probably Miss Craw-
ford's best since "Our Dancing
Daughters" has much to recon-
mend it besides the big wrecking
scene.
Joan Is Good
There is, for example, Brian
Aherne, who knows how to tame
wild women. The handsome six
footer, as the serious minded
archeologiSt, has a he-man role
that should make him immensely
popular with matinee audiences.
Besides good looks he has a meas

Joan Crawford, as Kay Bentley.
q thoroughly spoiled daughter Of
the rich, stumbles across Terry
O'Neill, digging among the ruins
Of the Isle Of NaxoS, and, under
the influence of a Grecian moon,
falls somewhat in love with him.
Under the impression that she is
just a secretary on the yacht on
which she is cruising, Terry fol-
lows her to New York and there
finds out the bitter truth, that she
reeks with lucre.
Unlike most fictional heroes in
a situation like this, Terry allows
himself to acquiesce to a large
financial settlement and to accept
a vice presidency in her family'S
corporation. But the course Of
true love proves exceedingly rough
before the final clinch.
Revue on Stage
Frank Morgan plays the easy
going father of Kay who lives in
abject fear of the aged dictator
Of the family, his mother-in-law,
who holds the purse strings of
the family fortune. Interest in
the old tyrant is cleverly built
up through nearly half of the
story before she ever appears on
the scene. This part is well
played by Jessie Ralph. Eric
Blore, Fred Keating and Aline
MacMahon are also fitted into
suitable roles.
A balanced stage bill uniformly

Paul NUM- Is
Screen Star
AtEarle

"Dr. Socrates" which I enjoyed
immensely as a serial story, graceS
the Earle screen this week in
movie form. Hollywood has taken
this very good story and, barring
a few quibbling details, has turned
out a maSterfully done job. The
screen version has faithfully
caught all the suspense and the
drama that was packed into the
original tale and which made 1t
such good reading.
The film carries q wide appeal.
It's various angles will hit large
segmentS of the movie audiences
just right.
MUM As q Doctor
For the profounder types, who
like their films Intellectual, there
is the fine character study Of
DR.. Lee Caldwell, the stellar role
played by Paul MUM, sterling
actor in a role which fits him
well. For those who go in for
romance there is the love story
of the doctor; Ann Dvorak, as Jo-
sephine Gray, supplying the heart
appeal. And for those who like
their excitement in big and strong
doses there is a gun battle the
like of which the screen seldom
sees. Gangsters and Omen, no
less, in a thrilling passage OF
blood and thunder.
MUM brings to the title role an
understanding performance. This
story of the doctor, the under dog
in a small town, and his involun-
tary ENHANCEMENT with a band Of
ruffianS is an interesting and
tense narrative. The introduction
of the girl, under a cloud, and
the protection given her by the
doctor, afford the story some high
drama which is handled extremely
well.
Robert Barrat, as DR.. Ginder.
the villain of this piece, who turns
out not to be such bad fellow
after all, contributes a memorable
and noteworthy characterization.
Other Hollywood notableS seen
in subsidiary roles are Burton Mac
Lane, John Eldredge, Hobart Cav
anaugh and Helen Lowell. The pic
ture, directed by William Dieterle.
is a Warner Bros. production.
Bernice Claire Sings
Bernice Claire, blonde and de-
lectably lovely as well as being a
good singer, headlines the stage
presentation with a well balanced
group of vocal numbers. Miss
Claire needs no introduction to
stage patrons and radio fans. She
possesses a sweet and lovely voice
and her medley of recent stage
hits was especially enjoyable.
Barney Rapp and his New Eng
landers, a versatile group Of mu-
sicians, played the accompaniment
for Miss Claire and the other
artists in addition to contributing
some very fine instrumental num-
bers on their own account.
A group of dance numbers, done
by Dick and Edith BarStow, rate
very high praise. Their toe-dance
tap, using stairs, was well-done
novelty that scored an instant hit
with the audience.
Bobby May, noted juggler, pre-
Sents turn or two of the best
juggling seen in many seasons. He
moves with adeptness and ease
through some of the juggling arts
most difficult tricks.
Ruby Wright was well received
in song numbers.
Various subsidiary films, includ-
ing the newsreel and an Ell Brendel
comedy, round out a most satisfy
ing bill.-J. w. B.

Good Type Casting
Conrad Veidt plays the lead
role, that of The Stranger" who
comes into the Bellevue boarding
house to become a good influence
on the lives of its variegated char
acterS. Actor Veidt endowS his
presence with a solemn dignity
and an aura of mystery that is
well preserved until he packs his
bag and walks out into the night
and the unknown, without ever
revealing himself as anybody else
but traveller.
It struck me that he was too
fond of standing at the head of
the hallway stairs and posing, the
implication being that the mere
sight of this spiritual man would
awe anybody who happened to
look that way. The English school
of actors are so fond of overcast
ing, however, that Mr.. Veidt de-
serves something for excellent re-
straint where he might have been
flambouyant.
