MISS LANDI APPEARS
IN CONVENTIONAL DRAMA
"Without Regret" Offered at Met
ropolitan, Reveals Artificial
Plot.

THE best that can be said about
Without Regret" latest ELISA
Landi vehicle by Paramount, which
yesterday opened at the Metropolitan,
is that 1t easily could carry the major
burden Of double bill.
The worst that can be said about
it is that it lacks conviction. The
players seem to have remained un-
convinced that they were making a
dramatic work, even after the as
sistant director must have told them.
The story (even though it concerns
a woman happily married, who sud-
denly is confronted with a previous
husband thought dead, situation
with possibilities for q successful
movie) is entirely too obvious in its
plot development.
When Miss Landi meets Adventurer
Kent Taylor in a bandit raid in China,
you know she's going to become en-
tangled, that this ENHANCEMENT will
not be successful, and that Miss Landi
will marry again. You know, too,
that husband No. / will return from
his supposed watery grave, and that
when he does villianess Frances
Drake is going to be an unpleasant
individual and blackmail Miss Landi
out of revenge for breaking up a love
affair.
When Mr. Taylor, out of the good
ness of his heart and his love for Miss
Landi, goes to Miss brakes apart
ment to get the important letters,
finally being forced to do away with
the young lady, and the crime is dis
covered by husband No. 2, you will be
three jumps ahead of the film in
knowing just how husband No. 2 is
going to become involved.
And then, If you have been to three
movies in your lifetime you will have
a sneaking suspicion that Mr.. Taylor
will turn up at the proper moment
to commit the beau geste.
The players, though they have no
faith in their work, do adopt very
smoothly the external characteritics
Of their roles. Miss Landi has been
far more beautiful at other times.
and has had far more confidence in
other parts, but she is ELISA Landi,
which is a whole lot.
Frances Drake does the villainess
role in sauve and sinister fashion,
and Paul Cayanagh is correct as the
second husband. Mr.. Taylor is a
handsome citizen, but he is not the
chap to leave the Hollywood stag line
of supporting players to be leading
man for Miss Landi. H. M,

Keith Week
Edward Arnold Film
Has Extended Stay,
as Do Dionnes.

EDWARD ARNOLD, who has many
friends in Washington, made dur
ing his several Summers with the Ma
tional Theater Players, is spending
his second week at R-K-O-Keith's,
playing the title role in Diamond
Jim"
The story deals with famous char
acters Of the days Of bicycles-built-
for-two, Diamond Jim, a diamond
in the rough" who rose from rooms
over his fathers saloon to owner of
more than one railroad, and that
famous beauty Of the stage, Lillian
Russell.
Edward Arnold lives up to his rep
utation as portrayer Of characters,
showing the high-pressure salesman
of the 80s, with an overdeveloped
sentimentalism quite true to type.
The role of Lillian Russell is in the
hands Of Binnie Barnes, who looks
the part and plays it well. The IA
nous beauty made her first stage
appearance in Tony Pastors Theater
in New York and made her first great
fame as the milkmaid in Patience"
a Gilbert and Sullivan light opera.
Her beauty lasted beyond her days
Of the theater, for as the wife OF
Alexander Moore, United States Am
bassador TO Spain, she was among
the guests at a state reception at the
White House during the Harding
administration, easily recognized by
many from their familiarity with her
photographs.
In the supporting cast are Jean
Arthur, as Jane Matthews, Diamond
Jim's great love; Cesar Romero, as
James successful lover, and many
others, each doing his or her part to
make an interesting and entertaining
picture.
Remaining at R-K-O Keith's with
Diamond Jim" are the Dionne quin-
tuplets, who show what a day means
to them; an amusing animated car
toon, and the usual weeks news reels.

Navy in his heart.
A large part of the entertainment
Is due to the fact the film is played
enthusiastically and in a rather light
hearted manner, despite the use Of
the authorized and accepted service
school story-the one about the boy
who couldn't take the discipline and
didn't like the academy in the be-
ginning, but who ended up with the
right attitude toward life.
OF course, that story probably Is
good enough. 1t has been good ever
since Hollywood began making annual
Photographic forays into Annapolis
and West Point. But 1t Is hardly the
story that should be credited with
making "Shipmates Forever" enter
tanning.
THE film has a slight tendency to
wax overly sentimental at times,
too, when 1t lets down its hair and
starts out to have good cry over
the traditions Of the Naval Academy
and the meaning of being Navee.
Now, that is in no wise intended as
slur against the Navy or its train
ing school, but rather is a sort of pro-
test to the movie producers, who feel
that waving the flag is a dramatic
situation.
"Shipmates Forever" is a film you
will enjoy, however, in spite of these
few complaints. It has songs by Dick
Powell, 1t has q lot Of good, human
humor, and it deals automatically
with the Naval Academy. 1t moves
along at good clip, too.
Powell, Of course. is the chief Ship
mate, and he does excellently as the
night club crooner who entered the
academy just to show his admiral
father he could pass the exams. It Is
Johnny Arledge, however, who steals
q lot Of honors as far as acting is con-
cerned, something which he has done
before. Johnny turns in piece of
work that would be hard to beat as a
young sailor who couldn't quite make
the grade at Annapolis but who died
Navy hero.
Ross Alexander Is responsible for
the brighter moments Of the film S

Foran and few others. Lewis Stone

Keeler Is the girl to whom the Powell
ditties are sung. Frank Borzage di-
rected.
POPULAR tunes of the day, brightly
arranged and played in a smart
manner, are the mainstay of the Earle
stage show. The playing of these tunes
is done by Freddie Martin and his
popular broadcasting and recording
orchestra, a group of musicians popu-
lar with people who dance. They are
making their first appearance here.
The combination is something of a
unique one among dance units, being
composed of three violins, three saxes,
q brace of pianos and only a two
piece brass section, in addition to the
drums, bass and guitar. This holding
the brass section down to a trumpet
and trombone and placing a trio of
violins up in front of everything makes
for sweet and smooth music.
There is an accomplished dance
team presented with the unit, too, and
they do a graceful and exciting tango
and another number which will be
much better when they are not dis
concerted at the start by having the
stage crew practically throw the band
at them.
Roy Smeck, "wizard of the strings"
is the added attraction who yesterday
stopped the show with his playing of
II Want to Go Back to My Little
Grass Shack" and his novelty imi-
tation Of the rat-tat-tat of Bill Rob-
inson's stair dance. H. M.

hundred yards farther on through the
drizzle, showed no one coming. The
long approach behind him, too, was
wetly deserted. Deliberately Ed Shell
don had chosen his station under this
bridge light. The water slipping along
far beneath seemed little less black,
where the light was. 1t wouldn't be
hard, there. A hand on the lighted
rail, quick vault. -.
Methodically he drew from his inside
coat pocket an empty manila envelope
addressed to Stella Sheldon, his wife.
In it he placed his billfold, containing
his drivers license-what mockery
when he hadn't had a car for five
years. and a snapshot of Stella.
LIE HESITATED, took out the bill
IL fold from the envelope. He
opened the billfold, slipped out the
snapshot.
He looked quickly about, then bent
his head and caressed the glossy image
with his lips. Then he replaced it in
the billfold and the billfold in the
envelope.
He had thought 1t all out. That
would be all he would leave-just that
one envelope holding his billfold, his
keys and his watch. His note to Stella
would bring her to the bridge at mid
night, to this light. He would wait
until he saw her coming before he
went over the rail. He wouldn't want
anybody else to get his watch, the
billfold she had given him, his snap
shot of her.
If only he had landed this last job

she'd get over the shock.
He took out his pocket comb, hesi-
tated and put it back in his hip
pocket. No use to burden her use
leSsly with things that might make
her remember and cry. She would
cry. The realization of that swept
through Ed Sheldon like warm flood.

happened to be in, but not reaplng
the rewards, that a young lady of
talent might expect. She went to
Hollywood. She was put in star
ring vehicle" for Jack Benny. She
became the star.
Mr.. Benny has been very good
sport about it all. Like William
Powell in "Escapade" he ran to the
producer, said, Look here, I'm not the
star of this picture" and praised Miss
Powell to the skies as Powell had done
for Luise Rainer. And SO, suddenly,
this young dancer who appeared again
and again and again at the Fox and
at the National broke into the lime
light and was positively cheered when
her picture was first shown in Holly
wood.
Miss Powell is not, however, the
only good thing about Broadway
Melody" There is Mr.. Benny, there
is a man who snores, there is Una
Merkel, who has never done second
rate job in her life; there are the two
Ebsens, Wilma and Buddy, who to our
way of thinking every now and then
walk away with the show: there is
that elegant tune, You Are My Lucky
Star; a newcomer called Robert
Taylor, who may very well play Romeo
opposite Miss Shearer's Juliet one of
these days, and there is Sid Silvers,
who doubles for "MademoiSelle Ar
lette"-and thereby hangs another
story.
The story, as matter of fact, is no
epic in Melody" But it does well
enough. 1t affords opportunities for
that snorer, for Mr.. Taylor to punch
Mr.. Benny in the nose now and again,
for Miss Powell to dance like she has
never danced before and for a few
musical numbers which might put
even the energetic Mr.. Berkeley to
shame.
It's all about a musical show and an
ambitious dancer who wants to get
into the show and can't; as also about
a "columnist' who has the knack Of
writing the wrong thing at the right
time. Mr.. Benny is the columnist, Mr..
Taylor is the young show producer and
Miss Merkel is his secretary. And

 Children's Party
Telephone Going Out of Order Dis closes Handiwork of Youthful
 Gang of Home -wreckers

An Anchorage telephone going out of order under peculiar circum- stances and the dispatching of re- pairman to investigate recently prot to light an unusual problem for the police of that city. The telephone was located in the home of MT. and Mrs. Gunnard Gustafson.
 When the line went out of order the repairman went to the house which he found void of it's occu- pants. Entering the dwelling he found what the Anchorage Times terms "a state of upheaval rivaling the homes of old Pompeii after the historic earthquake"
 Police later determined with fair certainty that the wrecking of the interior of the house was done by mischievous children for no better reason than just doing it, Damages sustained totaled several hundred dollars and the owners of the house found it necessary to put up at a ho- tel after "the party.
 Entering the house through a basement window after MT. and Mrs. Gustafson had left for the day to go to their work in cafe, the child ren evidently wrecked everything they encountered as they advanced through the rooms of the house Each place they had been was so streWn with displaced articles that it was later impossible to take a step without encountering something broken or torn down.
 The floors were filtered with brok- en chinaWare, numerous broken phonograph records, scattered groc- cries. clothing, linen, books and pap CTS and magazines and articles of dress The interior was torn out of the family radio and it's tubes smashed The electric stove had been turned on and the canary bird released from it's cage.
 Windows, electric lights and mir TOTS were smashed. Flour, beans candy nuts and other articles lay scattered over the kitchen floor. All over the basement floor were num- erous broken bottles, including can ned preserves and jams and the cloth ing collected from throughout the house lay thrown from the main floor to a heap in the middle of the basement.
 The telpehone which stood on a high shelf, was apparently the last thing touched and also the one thing that led to the discovery. Child ren were questioned and each in turn denied having had anything to do with the affair but each blamed
