''SCARLET PIMPERNEL"
HELD ANOTHER WEEK
Popular Picture Starring Leslie
Howard and Merle 0beron
Remains at Keith's.

The change over to the romantic
that the screen seems to have ac-
complished, as characterized by THE
Scarlet Pimpernel," which last night
opened its second week at Keith's, is
being welcomed with open arms.
The "Pimpernel" which is the tale
of a dashing Englishman engaged in
the dangerous business of spiriting
aristocratS out of France and the
shadow of the guillotine, to which
revolutionary Citizens courts" daily
are consigning them by the dozens, is
good entertainment, good romancing
and good acting.
TOPPING the cast is Leslie Howard
who has one of his best roles on the
screen. Leslie is the Scarlet Pim-
pernel," who leads his band of daring
Englishmen.
Lady Blakeney is portrayed by
Merle Oberon, who has a hard time
understanding why her husband is
out nights SO often. She is a French
aristocrat who was lucky enough to
get out of France before Nine. Guillo-
tine began slicing.
For the villains hall Of fame" is
nominated Raymond Massey, cast as
Citizen Chauvlin, Ambassador to Eng
land from the French Republic.
The cast includes Anthony Bushell,
Melville Cooper, Mabel Terry Lewis
and numerous others.
Usual short subjects are included.

For the sake of convenience, the
cinematic version of Gives life adopts
the imperial theory of conquest, which

AS a costume drama "Clive of In

fanfare which habitually mark such
fables in gelatin. Mr.. Colman, with
out his mustache and almost bereft
of the urbane humor which has been
trademark of his films, provides a
satisfactory representation of Lord
Give. Miss Young is one of the most
beautiful women in Hollywood. Her
impersonation of Lady Give reaffirms
that fact. Assisting in minor roles
are C. Aubrey Smith, Colin Give, sew

whole army of extras, with a few

CHARLIE CHAN
GOES TO PARIS
FOR THIS ONE
Famed Chinese Detective
at the Columbia This
Week in Good Mystery.

Almost every detective known to
fiction, unless, of course, he is Of the
household or local non-traveling va
riety, has at some time or other in his
checkered career Ventured into those
labyrinths known as the sewers of
Paris. so it is only right and just that
the famed captain of the Honolulu
detective force should be permitted
to wind up the problems of Charlie
Chan in Paris" now at the Columbia,
by taking to those dank underground
passages.
When Charlie Chan does venture
into the sewers he solves crime that
is no end mystifying and concludes
one of the best "WhodunitS" in which
he has performed. These latest ad-
ventures of the imperturbable Chinese
sleuth really do credit to Chan's late
creator, Earl Derr Biggers. Except
for one point, that is, the point being

loSophy which Charlie continually
delivers Biggers' Chan, at any rate,
never would have let loose that par

utterance and which is a very trite
thought for which to blame Mr.. Chan,
no matter how he worded it. This,
perhaps, is a small matter The more
important thing is that Charlie Chan
in Paris" is grand tale and a
mystery story which will keep you
guessing.
1t all starts out when Chan lands in
Paris on one of those dark. rainy nights
and sets out to solve his crime-a
crime which. as far as the audience
knows. is non-eXistent In fact, the
audience does not know until the next
day what Chan is attempting to do
but then 1t develops that there is
forgery in bank bonds being commit
ted, which dastardly deeds Charlie is
setting out to stop. AS soon as the
pride of the Honolulu police force
starts operations there are a couple OF
murders, countless attempts at muir
der and all sorts of narrowing happen
ings. but eventually-anda as is expected
in such stories-he gets his man.

Charlie Chan. Others who contribute

TN TELLING the story Of Lord
Robert Gives meteoric ascent to
fame, power and wealth, the pro-
i ducerS of "Clive of India" first
fortified themselves with the potent
talents of Ronald Colman and Miss
Loretta Young's equally effective if
less expressive beauty. Thereafter
they proceeded to treat the career of
the East India Company clerk, who
became ruler of a new empire, as a
series of episodes in war and love,
success and failure.
The connecting links between these
incidents are pieces of written exposi-
ton flashed upon the screen, in most
cases covering whole years of Gives
activity. Some cohesion is gained also
in the film at Loew's Palace this week
by closely linking the hero's matri-
monial and public careers, connec-
tion probably much more acutely en-
phasized in the cinema than it was in
the actual course of his life.
Despite the use of these devices,
"Clive of India" sometimes lacks the
continuity in character development
which distinguished Henry VIII"
Many of the episodes achieve indi-
vidual brilliance Collectively, they
fail to leave clear impression of the
man about whom all the cinema's
events are centered.
In part this result is due to the
unWieldy bulk of material the tale at
temptS to encompass. And strangely,
one of the methods intended to en-
large and clarity the portrait of Lord
Give produces almost the opposite
effect. This is the stress on Give S
relationship with his wife. purport-
edly tender and Illuminating portion
of the film which actually serves only
to diffuse the power Of the narrative.
Because the affection between these
two lacks naturalneSs and warmth in
the delineation given it by Mr.. Col
man and Miss Young, the domestic
and romantic interludes serve only
tc distract attention from the most
interesting and exciting phases of
Gives personality-his unbounded
brass and courage, his simultaneously
reckless and shrewd impulses as a
gambler in warfare. Give is made to
appear an opportunist of the first
magnitude. and the image merely
softened by the introduction Of
romanticisms
BY dividing its attention between
the hero as an ambitious man and as a
lover "Clive of India" has lost some of
its potential force An unbroken page

make himself great figure of his time

Soldiers on Platforms.
So when you see the siege OF Acre
in this film. you will lave an idea OF
the magnitude Of the medieval towers
used to storm besieged cities. Ihe
particular tower made for this pic
ture. which weighs 35 tons. has four
platforms on it. each worked by
separate mechanical contrlvance.
Soldiers of different types will be sta
toned on each platform, with archerS
on the top to be the "barrage" through
which their fellow fighters attempt the
battle. The only difference between
this machine of war and those used
in the actual siege OF Acre. Is the lacC
that this machine will not be moved
entirely by man-power.
Another interesting fact about the
filming of this scene is that practlcaily
every extra in Hollywood is insured OF
a Job that week, seeing that Mr.. DE
Mile plans to use more than 1000
men in the scene.

for the organ and arranged for piano
by Bauer, followed and were we'll
