MANY LAUGHS
PRODUCED At
METROPOLITAN
'McFadden's Flats With
Walter C.. Kelly, Is
Fine Entertainment.

There is nothing new or unusual
about "McFadden's Flats" the fea-
ture flicker at the Metropolitan this
week. unless it's the Virginia judge,
Walter C. Kelly. and yet the film Is
lust about the hest plain, honest-to-
goodness, down-to-earth piece of en-
tertainment Washington's movie pub

This movie has that which so many
others lack-that intangible result OF
the combination of excellent playing
good direction and thoughtful cast
ing that makes an average story cllck

ring the bell.

her family by attending a finishing
school.
walter c. Kelly is a better Irish
American mans man, hard-boiled boss
and soft-hearted father than he Is a

makes Dan McFadden's modern tene-

fighting, only to have her go socially
snobbish and snub her father at the
big moment of his life when he leads

though, that she later throws over the
social cub she has become infatuated
with and goes back to Richard Crom-

she has persuaded her parents to re-
model their fiat into what Andy Clyde

VAMPIRE FILM HELD
FOR A SECOND WEEK
Bella Lugosi, Lionel Barrymore
and Carol Borland Are Stars
of Film.

Bella Lugosi and Lionel Barrymore
continue for another week at the Co.
lumbia in their efforts to run chills up
your spine and back down again, to
stand your hair on end and to scare
the very daylights out of you with
horror film known as Mark of the
Vampire"
People have been fiocking in in
droves to be chilled through with fear
and have been liking the sensation.
Mark of the Vampire" is an eerie
tale, there is no mistaking, with a
murder, the victim of which has evi-
dently been bitten on the neck by
vampire; series of vampires stalking
about through the film, terrorizing
both the players and the audience;
numerous weird appurtenances of hor-
ror, and surprise climax wherein the
whole works is solved.
There is a female vampire who is
responsible for most of the neck
biting and who is really remarkable
creature-a girl you no doubt could
learn to like were she shown the error
of her ways. She is the most horrible
looking thing who ever strode through
a fog following dusty bat to swoop
down at midnight on some unsuS-
pecting neck, and no doubt is the
person referred to who makes a
sissy of Frankenstein." But withal
she is a genteel and rather charming
individual who, most of the time,
waits politely with leer on her face
outside a window until etiquette in
dfcates it is the correct moment for
a bit of vampiring. Yes, the lass sort
of appeals to us. Her name is Carol
Borland and she does grand job, as
also do the two chaps mentioned in
the first paragraph, Mr.. Lugosi and
Mr.. Barrymore. Elizabeth Allan.
Jean Hersholt and Lionel Atwill are
some of the other authentic per-
formers. H. M.

The orchestra, after the four move

the performance. Leah Effenbach

THE Hampton Institute Choir. under
the direction of DR.. Clarence

ming at the First Congregational
Church, sponsored by the Mus-Art
Club of Lincoln Congregational
Church and the music department
of public school division 1913.
For pure tonal beauty the choir
surpasses any heard here in some
time, and much of that is due to the
expert use of a restrained volumn

technical sense and genuineneSs Of
feeling that was the combined in
dividual response to the music. While
most of the phraSing was based on
the musical idea rather than on that
of the text the effect was impressive
in its beauty.
Whether in the classic group which
opened the program the four Russian
numbers which followed or works by
Anglo-Saxon composers, the choir
caught the initial atmosphere and
reproduced it with SmoOthness Of
changing dynamics and polished vocal
color. DR.. White directed with a
whole hearted concentration which
demanded the utmost in good musi-
cianShip from his singers. A group
of numbers sung by male voices form
ed an enjoyable moment in a pro-
gram that held the interest from be-
ginning to end. The final group was
made up Of choice Negro spirituals.
A large and attentive audience re-
ceived the visiting singers with en-
thusiastic acclaim.

CHAL LIAPIN FILM
HELD AT BELASC0
"Don Quixote," Starring the
Famed Basso, Is Excellent
Screen Fare.

"Don Quixote," excellent picturiza-
ton of Cervartees' poignant story of
the life of the Knight of the Rueful
Countenance," today embarks upon a
well-deserved second week at the
Belasco. G. W. Pabst, exiled German
director, and Feodor Chaliapin, famous
Russian basso, deserve vote of ap-
probation from every serious motion
picture deyotee in the land for this
contribution.
In conception and execution it is
sincere and intelligent photoplay.
In his direction Mr.. Pabst has ac-
curately captured the correct tone
and has constructed moving work.
He has stabbed through the surface
farce of Cervantes' novel to get at
the more important inner theme of
the tragedy of the clash of high
minded idealism with harsh reality,
and has transformed it to the screen
faithfully and f1uently. Along with
the essential tragedy Mr.. Pabst has
remained true to reality and inserted
humor, to be sure, but 1t Is rich. earthly
humor that is human and humor at
which you laugh because you are
human.
Mr.. Pabst's direction, however, Is
only part of the motivating cause of
the films excellence for Feodor Chalia-
pins initial screen performance has
a lot to do with the high quality of
this product. Chaliapin's playing of
the title role is something which must
be put down as one of the better
screen portrayals of the year. The
singer interprets with accuracy the
essential spirit and the mental and
material makeup of Ell Caballero de
la Triste Figura. and he sings superbly
the fine musical score.
George Robey, as Sancho Panza. is
grand, and others of the cast are COM
pletely capable. Paul Morands see
mario is clear and concise. Scenic
effects and photography are completely
pleasant. H. M.

Les Miserables," now playing at the
Palace, couldn't very well 60 wrong.
The answer to that is that it doesn't.
Under the able direction of Richard
Boleslawski it shuttles the Hugo classic
into the two hours allotted to it, and
makes this immortal story as compact
a narrative of man pursued by
justice and Javert as it probably ever
will be on the screen. And while per-
haps we were a trifle disappointed in
it, having been told that it was the
miracle picture of the year, We are
bound to admit that it IS a very good
picture, indeed, and that it is played
to the hilt by splendid cast.
The sour face of Mr.. Laughton as
Javert, of course, dominates it. He
confronts Jean Vatican (Fredric
Marsh) at every turn-even bothering
to wade in and out of a sewer after
him. His flabby, evil features pursue
him everywhere-and 1t is only when
his tiny conscience breaks through his
portly crust that he realizes that he
is a man as we'll as the law and
that it is time for him to do some
thing about it. He does. He jumps
into the Seine.
The story of Valjean's fantastic
rise from the galleys to the mayor OF
a town-his subsequent fall--and his
subsequent hiding from the law, re-
appear in this with much of the force
that you remember from the old days.

sticks with just that right amount of
forgiveness with which to launch him

It follows its mission with answering
zeal. The Hollywood tabloid features
that might have been injected are
notably missing. From the very be-
ginning Mr.. Ford focuses his camera
at the tragic figure of Gypo Nolan,
strong-man extraordinary, who lin
forms on his friend for the sum of 20
pounds. And from then on the loves,
the humors, the battles of the other
people form merely the background
against which the camera and Gypo
record their bitter yarn.
From first to last it is the story of
strong man gone wrong-a strong man
who later in his weakness meets the
salvation that is accorded the peni-.
tent 1t is human document, strange
ly moving and with an ending that
would dissolve the Sphinx.
The film is stirring even in its sec
ond viewing. Having witnessed strong
eyed reviewers break down and bawl
over its climax in the chubby projec-
ton room of a downtown film eX-
change, it seemed only right to observe
Gypo in action before more assorted
audience. Still, the audience baWled
over Gypo-and still it seemed a Won
der that Victor McLaglen, famed for
his rough tumble chewing-gum
heroisms, should become all at once
such hulking victim of tragedy and
such a babe-in-arms when it came
down to his being caught by Justice" !"
McLaglen's Characterization is one
of the finest of the season. His giant
blusterings give way to the blubberings
of a child. and in his last dying
moments, when he is forgiven by the
mother of the man whom he wronged,
he is a towering figure OF bewilder-
ment and despair, as also of grief and
pity. as he sinks to his death shouting
words of forgiveness to the man who
has gone before him.
He il supported by cast which
never falterS in its dutiesY There is a
new actress, Margot Grahame, who con-
tributes a few unforgettable moments
as the girl for whom Gypo gets the
money: and there are such notableS
as j. M. Kerrigan (ne plays Terry
Una O'Connor in the dramatic role
of the mother, and Heather Angel. who
plays the sorrow stricken sister OF the
man who is killed (Wallace Ford. If
you look closely you will also see Denis
O'Dea, who played here with the Abbey

The cast, however, seems strangely
secondary to the atmosphere and the
situation as created by the director
