Keith Show
Is Mystery
With Thrills
Film Has Oppenheim
Intrigue of Great
Impersonation."

DERHAPS mystery films have ap-
= peal only for a very special audi
ence. or perhaps you have to be in
some certain mood to be intrigued
by what goes on in them. Whatever
it is, it seemed Saturday afternoon
that The Great Impersonation, I"
which was bounced into Keith's all
of a sudden. Saturday to replace
Seven Keys to Baldpate," never quite
comes of.
1t all starts out, of in the
African jungles, early in 1914. when
one Everary Dominey. Englishman,
on combination big-game hunt and
''binge," wanders upon the camp Of
Leopold Won Ragenstein, operator for
munitions trust, and Leopold gets
the idea that he could do his en-
ployers no end Of good by taking Sir
Everard's place in England, which he
easily could do, since the men are
doubles. One man comes back to
England, and the audience is then
allowed to play guessing games and
try to figure out which one Is mixed
up in all the intrigue.
That Is, those members of the audi
ence who have not read E. Phillips
Oppenheim's story and who overlook
entirely the actions an give-away
glances cast about occasionally by Ed
mund Lowe. play guessing games. One
girl knows instinctively which man
Mr.. Lowe is, when he gets back to Eng
land, but there's one chap who seems
either gullible or dense or both.
The fact that the tilm never estAb.
lishes the right mood seems to be in
dicated by the filters throughout the
theater that greeted several scenes
which should have not been funny, but
which just slipped over the line from
melodrama to comedy.
It does not seem to be the acting
that has turned Mr.. Oppenheim's
thriller into something which draws
more snickers than it should, for Mr.
Lowe certainly does well enough with
a difficult dual role, and Valerie Rob-
son and Vera Engels are all that could
be desired in the two feminine parts
opposite him.
Perhaps that automobile that slipped
across the corner of one scene is the
clue to how seriously the Universal
picture people took their work, though

Wilhelm Kurasch of Philadelphia
Talented Performer.

w AAAC44A N IA dSN4 VA \ HA4A
Talented Performer.
AN INTERESTING violinistic talent
was disclosed in the person of
Wilhelm Kurasch Of Philadelphia in
several appearances which he made in
Washington last week The program
in full which he played at the Wash
ington College of Music Friday eve
ming ranged from the adagio and
fugue of the solo, Sonata in G
Minor" by Bach. to the "Introduc-
tion and Rondo Cappriccioso," by
Saint-Saens. The Mendelssohn Con-
certo in E Minor" occupied the CEN
tral part of the program, followed by
group of moderns, including the
Orphan" by Juon; the En- Bateau, II
by Debussy, and the brilliant per
petuum Mobile" by Novacek.
The warm musicality Of the artist
reached his audience Immediately
giving him the advantage Of their re-
ceptiveness to all he had to offer. The
polished facility Of the movements in
rapid tempt was balanced by sensi-
lively portrayed melodic outline and
expressive nuance in the more emo
tional moments Of his program.
His playing at the regular meeting
Of the Friday Morning Music Club
was received with much enthusiasm,
which demanded encores. His accom-
paniSt on both occasions was Herman
Weinberg and his duties were carried
through with fine understanding.

Of musical art. as1
Choosing the overture from Wag-
ner's Die Meistersinger" for the be-
ginning, DR.. Kinder led his men
through a most stirring and excel
lently played rendition. The temper
of the audience began TO show itself
Immediately, when thunders Of ap-
plause broke forth spontaneously,
and so insistently recalled the con-
ductor, who had the orchestra rise
to share the ovation with him, that
the continuance Of the program
seemed threatened.
The same enthusiasm greeted the
playing of the two intermezzi from
Wolf -Ferraris Jewels Of the Madon-
ma" and the exquisite finale of the
first act of Verdfs "Othello." which
made up the independent orchestra
numbers.

chest-a outdid itself in the flnesse Of
its rendition. But the climax was
reached when the "Othello" music was
played with poetic feeling and richly
variegated coloring, giving. with this
one excerpt alone, a comprehensive
idea Of the whole of this beautiful,
but seldom heard opera.
The major part Of the program was
devoted to Bizet's Carmen" with the
well-known arias and incidental scenes
sung by the soloiSt Of the occasion,
Ira Petina, mezzo-soprano Of the
Metropolitan Opera. Miss Petina was
first heard in the aria "Adieu Forets, "
from Tschaikowsky's Jeanne dare. "
Unfortunately her familiarity with
this comparatively simple aria was not
such as to allow her to sing it without
the music In her hand. For an opera
singer, used to memorizing entire
scores, this is inexcusable and detract-
ed greatly from the appreciation Of
her singing.
Miss Petina's voice Is not a large
one but of unusually sweet quality. 1t
Is, however, not a Carmen. voice,
lacking the senSuous color that is
especially needed in this opera to en-
phasize the character of the gypsy
heroine. Nor does her understand
ing the role challenge the interpreta-
tions of the famous artists whose
names have gone down In history as
great CarmenS.
The character Of Carmen Is made
known, not by voice or personality,
but by the inSinuating and carefully
stressed manner in which every
phrase Of the outstanding arias is de-
lvered. Miss Petina sang the music
correctly, but missed the many mo-
ments that allowed of special under

the tragic end Of the gypsy girl.

last act. Her arias were interposed
between orchestral numbers Including
the overture, the "Preludes to Act II,
II and w." finishing with the music
that announced the beginning of the
bull fight in the final act. Miss Petina
sang the "Habanera," the "Seguidilla, -
the "Chanson Boheme" and the Gard
Score" At the end of the program,
she was forced to repeat the first two
arias, in response to the enthusiasm
of her listeners.
The operate literature was but

that more occasions will be made

evidence in support of billing her

Ann, draws more feminine trade to
burlesque theaters than any other per-
former, too, because of the gowns she
wears. For her first number, this
time, she steps forth IN cl1nging
sheen OF white satin, set of with a
n1uff and cape of shredded ostrich
feathers. Her second appearance Is
made IN a gown Of a particular shade

Of tulle at the collar, she is 6 very

:. The new Belasco Iiln is sometimes

.ing-and sometimes not. The latter
Is due to a shifting direction that
'wanders too fast from pillar to post
and leaves the spectator slightly con-
fused. The first is due to several
interesting performances. including
Diana Napier as Nine. Sidonie, the
handsome actress who tries to snare
young Douglas Fairbanks, jr., away
from Miss Lawrence. and Carol Good
ner as Musette. Also to the fact that
the artists ball is made lavish
spectacle during which Offenbach ap-
pears to play the first performance Of
ibis "Barcarolle"
These features, plus the dim back
ground of Puccini music, make Mimi
something that ladies, particularly.
will probably want to see, even if
they do not crow about it afterward.
Personally we suspect that the produc-
ton Is too handsome to justify all the
hunger that those artist lads go
through, and the costumes are far too
elegant for deSpairing geniuses.
Nevertheless, Miss Lawrence gives
an attractive performance, and Fair
banks has at least one moment when
he is excellent Chat breaking the
heart moment). Another interesting
bit is supplied by Richard Bird, whom

"PEACE''

Father Divine in the likeness of
man. The mystery of Him.
We are the temples of the True
and Living God. Millions are now
living that will never die, as they
continue to live the life and teach
ings of Jesus Christ, as recorded
IN the four Gospels of Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John.
Mary, being a pure Virgin, and
living a clean life in body as
well as mind, caused the Holy
Ghost to appear to her, and it
transmitted to her the idea that
she would bring forth the Child
Of God. She visualized herself with
the Child, making a mental pic
ture, she made a mental and spirit
ual contact and caused the Holy
Ghost in her or the Christ to de-
scend into her organ of birth, and
she brought forth the Child called
Emanuel, meaning God is with US,
as the angel that came to her told
her that she would. Jesus is
spirit and mind materialized in a
bodily form. For Jesus is Christ,
and Christ is God, and God is
Spirit and Mind. In order to un-
derstand who is this Wonderful
One, we must first understand the
Son called Jesus before you can
know the Father that was in Him
and is in Him. Jesus, being Spirit
and Mind, then His body was
Spirit and Mind materiahzed in
the likeness of sinful flesh to con-
denim sin in the flesh, not to con-
denim the flesh but the sin in the
flesh. Jesus was limited to the
Sonship degree of expression,
therefore He said: eff not 90
away, the Comforter will not
come. He had to come again to
show that He had gone to the
Father, the Partnership degree of
expression, for His body, being
Spirit and Mind, went back into
that state of expression so as to
bring itself into the Partnership
degree Of expression, so the same
Spirit and Mind has come down
through different bodies such as
Ann Lee, the one belonging to the
sect called Shakers Of New York
