pleasant enough little MIN Wnlch Is
the Earle's film feature.
Although Claire Dodd is the blond,
and a very nice one at that, Mr.. Kib-
be's brief appearance as the harassed
raconteur of the Civil War who lives
only through the generosity of his
rich actress daughter, Is the brightest
thing in the show. Reclining very
much at his ease in a corner of his
daughters apartment. he sips mint
juleps, plays songs Of the South on
his gramophone and succumbs only to
the great outside world when Warren
William persuades him to draw up an
insurance policy against his daugh-
ters marriage. This he does knowing
that If she marries his allowance will
be yanked out from under him.
Eventually, of course, Miss Dodd
(the daughter) falls in love with War
rem William-but won't marry him
when she hears about the insurance
policy-and things lock very, very
black indeed until William suddenly
bobs up at the altar and weds the
gal-having tied up the other neo-
husband in a traffic jam.
The film is very light and very un-
important-but it serves its purpose
and Maude Eburne is very funny as
the lady with voice that could blow

Beef-Trust Chorus Aids
Stage Show Bill at Fox
Small Time Cavalcade" Is Top Number,
Showing Five-a-Day Troupers at Their
Best-Fleet Mystery Thrills.

Topped by Billy Roses Small Time
Cavalcade," and presenting a happy
array of sprightly vaudeville talent,
the Fox stage show, in combination
with a diverting enough mystery en-
titled Murder in the Fleet" makes a
very pleasant bill Of Summer enter
tainment.
Mr.. Roses "Cavalcade" has been
cleverly arranged by Ben Hecht to
present these tank-tcwn troupers at
their best In a highly entertaining re-
vue. Among the old five-a-day per-
formers, whose dreams Of names in
lights on Broadway never have been
fulfilled, you, no doubt, will like best
of all the beef-trust chorus which does
high kicks (at least feet high), while
an amply constructed mamma means
throatily into the microphone. These
six coy damsels have gross tonnage
of exactly 1894 pounds, unless some
one has gained or lost a pound or two
since last they were in town. They'll
give jaded eye treat.
There are a lot Of others on hand,
too, to make Small Time Cavalcade"
the successful ending it is to a stage
show which starts out at fast clip
and keeps it up till the very end.
There is the Swiss bell ringer. who, in
cidentally, should not have to COM
pete with the chap who balances a
chair on a couple of bottles and him
self on the chair, because both are
good; and there are the fireeater, the
jugglers and a number of other peo-
pie who dance and sing and make
merry. The ending of the well-staged
revue should bring tug at your heart
The Fox stage show has also the
Youthful Rhythms, presenting a girl
who turns the neasest somersaults
ever, a boy and girl who tap dance
cleverly, a girl who gets a big hand
for her comedy dance and a young
fellow, who sings quite we'll; Lillian
Creel and AL Allen, an utterly non
sensical pair of singers and dancers
who should not be missed, and Young
Worth and Wyle, who knock each
other all over the stage and win the
complete approval OF the audience.

Murder in the Fleet" is one Of
those hot-weather films, which should
entertain you sufficiently for an hour
or so and leave a pleasant imprint
on your mind, without placing any
great tax on your senses. If you like
mystery melodramas this one is right
down your alley. 1t is neatly put
together, has a different setting,
which, of course, gives it a fresh look
and should be good opportunity
for you to give your hidden detective
ability a work out. You should by
this time, however, be able to call a
movie culprit right away by the ma
ture of the leer on his face.

NEW DIETRICH SHOWN
IN "DEVIL IS A WOMAN"
Vivacious, Devilish and Whimsi-
cal Qualities Replace
Old Mystery.

Glamorous Marlene Dietrich, the
German lady who now speaks good
English in American movies, portrays
a tantalidng Spanish senorita in
what might be termed 1885 version
of the French opera Carmen" as she
strews a wreckage of ruined men along
the stormy paths of her latest cellu-
loid vehicle, THE Devil Is Woman.
The film is 3 perfect set-up for the
Dietrich tactics. 1t is currently play
ing at the Columbia.
Above all 1t has the great redeemins
virtue of setting forth vivacious
devilish, whimsical Dietrich in place
of the usual mysterious, monosyllabit
Marlene. She rants and storms and
turns on and OF the million-cand
power glamour at will.
The story follows Carmen" in its
Spanish setting; in its coquettish her
oine, who works in cigarette factory
until a Don Jose in the form Of ar
army captain takes her under his
wing, and in its mood of impending
disaster-which is softened in the
movie version.
Like Don Jose, the captain. played
with excellent restraint by the imper.
turbable Lionel Atwill, is forced tc
lose his excellent record and resigr
for love of the reckless temptress, who
taunts him to a point of frenzy. II
continues to follow the Bizet opera
when the girl turns her attentions to
toreador and becomes a gay enter
tainer.
The end, however, is Hollywoodish
In place of the bull ring a duelling
field is employed for the climax, and
instead of the heroine being stabbed
at the final curtain the captain is
wounded in a pistol duel with his
best friend-a duel brought on by
the rivalry of both for the lady's at
tentionS. AS an anti-climax. the
tempestuous charmer leaves her latest
admirer at the border to hurry back
to the bedside of the faithful captain.
Unusual Photographic effects, real
istic Spanish settings-including an
abundance of what passes for Spanish
moss-and a well-rounded cast lend
excellent atmosphere and superb sup
port to the glamorous star. A mad
carnival is thrown in for good luck.
Edward Everett Horton, still recog-
nizable in an diversified goatee, is
present as a governor who would free
a murderer for one of Dietrich's
smiles. Allison Skipworth gets a
chance for some of her good char
actor doings. M. d.

JOHN D., 96 MONDAY,
PLANS RESTFUL DAY
Flood of Messages and Visit From
Son Expected-Will With
hold Statement.

By the Associated Press.
LAKEWOOD. N. j., July 6.-Mon-
day is John D. Rockefellers 96th
birthday anniversary.
Letters and kilograms will pour into
Lakewood for delivery at Golf
House. the Rockefeller estate, and
his son, John D. Rockefeller, jr, may
drop in to see him, but there will be
no formal celebration. Greetings
from his household servants. the
gardeners, the guards and the forest
ers and few hours in the warm
sunshine will make the day a little
different from the usual run of his
latter-year days.
But the old spirit of the elder
Rockefeller's birthday-the spirit
which moved him to issue an annual
statement on public affairs-will be
missing. That. custom came to an
end last year.
Rockefeller came here June IA
after spending eight months in his
Ormond Beach. Fla, home. Until
last year he used to go to Pocantico
Hills, Tarrytown, N. Y, for part of
the Summer. That custom, too, was
discontinued last year, at least tempo
rarily. because of the state of his
health.

pictures making.
The actors preferences are now out
of the discussion. The picture will be
made in Hollywood.
Mr.. Howard's present ambition IS
to obtain a play based on the life Of
the late Col. Lawrence, of Revolt in
the Desert" fame. The portrayal of
Lawrence, adventurer and almost
mythical hero, with an elusive per-
sonality, would be perfect for Leslie
Howard. There is, moreover, strong
physical resemblance between the two.
Following the production Of this
play in London, Mr.. Howard would
like to make the film at Warmers
studio in England. 1t would be as
sured of tremendous sale in the Brit
ish Empire, and the Importance OF the
British release is no longer something
to be overlooked. Many American
made pictures are now fashioned with
an eye to British release.
The team Of Charlie Ruggles and
Mary Boland is to be broken up.
Edward Everett Horton will be seen
in future with Mary Boland and their
first release will be Imperfect Hus-
band" OF course, that title must be
changed, for the word husband" Is
poison in the box office. although pro-
ducers don't mind the word wife"
Lee Tracy Is not to make another
picture with Paramount-publicity to
the contrary Notwithstanding. The
actor who let personal issues interfere
with what should have been the most
brilliant career of its type in Holly
wood is being bought out by the studio
which now holds him under contract.
It is willing to- sell him his contract
and let some one else deal with him
in making a film. The newspaper pic
ture which Lee Tracy was to have
made will be done by Lynn Overman,
who can act at terrific tempo and also
with conviction.
The last OF July or the first of
August will see the arrival of Jan
Kiepura. the singing fellow who made
such hit In Love Me Tonight" He
will do Song of the Nile" and Oscar
Hammerstein II will write the screen
play for him.

WOOLSEY AND WHEELER
FILM PROPERLY NAMED
"Nit.Wits" Gives Comedians
Plenty Of Opportunity
to Go Mad.

to Go Mad.
"Nit- wits" certainly Is the abSo-
lutely correct name to apply to the
current Bob Woolsey-Bert Wheeler
rampage, which opened yesterday at
the Metropolitan. There's neither
rhyme nor reason to this piece, but
it's a boisterous bit of lunacy with
approximately laugh a minute.
There Is not much that can be
said anymore about a Wheeler-Wool-
sey film, because the antics of the
two chief participants are the main
and only attraction, and after you
have seen the boys once you know
what to expect. You either like them
or you don't like them, and If you
do not like them the greatest comedy
tale in the world would not make you.
But If you do have a penchant for the
Wheeler-W -Woolsey brand of inane TOM
foolery, you should like the present
dissemination of it. 1t seems to pro-
vide them plenty of opportunity to
go completely mad
Bert and Bob have murders on
their hands this time and a cold
blooded, demoniacal killer to cope
with. They start out by being a
couple of wouldbe song writer's who

The two nit-witS, of course. have

trap the criminal. After lot of dizzy
moments, which are capped by a
mad, slap-stick battle which LAYS an
Office to shambles. they get their man,
more in spite of their efforts than
because Of them. There Is. as you
probably have guessed, absolutely no
sanity to the film.
There Is, naturally, the musical
number for Bert to sing to the young
lady in the case. and it Is not a half
bad tune. Maybe it was dragged in
by the heels when no one was looking,
but what do you expect with Wheeler
and Woolsey about 1t is done well
enough with Bert and the young lady,
Miss Betty Cradle. dancing up numer-
GUS flights Of stairs and back down
again.
This Betty Cradle is lass upon
whom you will look with pleasure,

with which he used to make canary
birds disappear and hundreds of
needles appear on thread. which he
yanked from his mouth. The rest of
the cast, which includes Evelyn Brent,
supports capably. II. M.
