whiskered old tutor as he lies abed
in the palace instead of the king, who
turns out to be Anna Karenina's son,
Freddie Bartholomew.
Freddie is so delighted at seeing
what he thinks are Chicago gang
sters, that he invites them to kidnap
his royal self, hustles them out of the
palace while the guards ransack the
place, and goes off to some sort of
Swiss chalet where he learns the
art of base ball and foot ball under
the tutelage of McLaglen- Whalen.
In the midst of all this Gloria Stu
art has bounced up as the countess
chaperone of the king. She no sooner
sees Whalen than she embraces him
in a misty garden. So love bobs up
here and there during the other fan
tastic moments.
The climax finds McLaglen shoot
ing up the whole darn kingdom single
handed with that machine gun, and
getting a medal from his pint-sized
monarch who now sits on his throne
again-as calm as cucumber.
You will want to be sure, also to
get in at the beginning. For the first
five minutes the noisiest, maddest and
funniest fight scene in a Paris cafe
that has ever been staged takes place.
McLaglen 'whams" every cop in Paris
and single-handed reduces some sort
of a Cafe de Paris to ashes. Very
pleasant.

Davis fiaunts so brilliantly.
The stage show at the Earle this
week is very mild. Cross and Dunn
headline the bill with their customarily
pleasant but quite undisturbing songs
(maybe the picture spoiled us. leading
us to expect every one to leap into
high and expert tantrums), the Aris-

very much ditto, except for the mirac-
ulous grace of one young lady in the
group (she was to be found third from
either end in the line of five girls yes
terday), and the others are the Walk
mfrs and Floyd Christy and company.
Bert Granoff opens the presentation
with group Of Dick Powell songs,
mostly well suited to the excellent
Granoff voice, and you need not be
reassured that Miss Seiber appears still
handsome and pert.

TechnicOlOr
At New Peak
In RKOFiln
Dancing Pirate Has
Several Featured
Performers.

John HAY WHITNEY, president OF
- Pioneer Pictures, has announced
Dancing Pirate" as the next full
color technicolor feature to be pro-
duced for R-K.O release.
The film, a musical romance woven
against a background of dancing and
tuneful music, will be made on a
scale that for importance and fresh
ness of theme have never before been
attempted either in black and white
or in color.
According to the announcement, the
picture will co-feature Charles Col
lins and Stein Duna. Frank Nor
gan, recognized as one Of the most
important comedy personalities on the
screen today, has been borrowed from
M-G-M for the role of Miss Dumas
father. Luis Alberni has been Sc
lected for another important comedy
Characterization. Other names OF
equal prominence will be announced
during the coming week.
Charles Collins, who replaced Cliff

Thousands Cheer" has recently been
appearing as a dancer at prominent
hotel in New York. Husband OF
Dorothy Stone, daughter of Fred
Stone, he has been placed under long
term contract to Pioneer and is re-
garded as one of the most promising
discoveries ever to come from the
New York stage.
Stein Duna, star of la Cucaracha, VI
Pioneers full-color musical featurette
which broke all existing box office
records for short subject exhibition,
will appear in the leading feminine
role.
The picture will be directed by Lloyd
Corrigan and designed in color by
Robert Edmond Jones. Both men
appeared in similar creative capaci-
ties in the filming of la Cucaracha. "

Tina Flade
Triunphs in
Dance Series
Gives Striking Group
at Kings mith
Studio School.

TINA FLADE scored another tri-
umph last night. The diminu-
tive leading exponent of the Wigman
School took any number of curtain calls
at the conclusion of her dance recital
at the Playhouse of the King Smith
Studio School and probably could have
continued to take them until she
dropped in her tracks, so completely
did she win her audience.
1t is true delight to watch Miss
Flade dance, for she performs with
perfection you'll seldom see.
She possesses wonderful muscular con-
troll, too, and has an amazing knack
for keeping her beautifully flexible
body always in lines of flowing grace.
She could be caught by candid CAM
era in any phase of any of her num-
bers and the resultant picture would
be a true work of art in its accurately
posed and smoothly fluid lines.
Miss Flade's hands alone are worth
concentrating your attention upon.
too. They contribute much to both
the mechanical perfection and the
mood and spirit of her dancing with
their delicately expressive grace.
All of the varied numbers done by
the young lady, who was brought to
this country three years ago by Eva
LeGallienne, after series OF Euro
pean triumphs. were enthusiastically
received, though the group of three
exciting five numbers" by Cowell,
with which she closed her program,
seemed to win the most favor of the
audience. The three, "Fire-Preserva-
tion," Fire Torture" and Fire -Puri-
fication," brought the dancers vital
spirit to the fore.
There was plenty of variety in Miss
Flade's program. She opened the re-
cital with Dance in the Early Morn
ing" number performed with rather
studied movements, went from this
into "Paens," which called for more
vigorous and slightly pagan treatment,
with sharper lines, then continued
with the striking "Obsession by the
Spiral" Sinister Resonance" a
rather weird number and one in which
her hands had much to do; two 'Sa-
rabandes,' light and gracefully flowing,
and concluded the first half with
"Elegy" The vigorous Dance for a
Huntress" and the beautifully imagi-
native Interpretation of a figure which
might be seen in the moon also were
included on the program.
Miss Flade's accompanist, Miss
Ruth Hunt, also is an artist of no
mean ability. The German dancers
costumes, too. which she designed
herself, contributed much to the
moods of her numbers. H. M.

wiches and finishes the meal with
a bottle of milk William Powell
eats even less, if that is possible
Just a biscuit or cookie, Ito fill in"
his one and only meal comes at
night.
Tracy Likes His Meals.
Spencer Tracy is the "glutton" OF
the studios. He never has enough
to eat. In the morning he demol-
ishes coffee and doughnuts. Before
lunch he downs another cup of cof-
fee. At noon he eats a real meal
soup, roast beef, T-bone steak,
French-fried potatoes and apple pie.
In the afternoon Spencer always has
a soda or something to hold him over
till dinner.
Janet Gaynor picks dainty at a
small chicken salad or some kindred
food. Warner Baxter goes in for
steaks, roast beef, liver and onions,
and invariably eats cake with his
dessert. John Boles, who should eat
more because opera singers are sup
posed to be fat, is more than satisfied
with a salad-usually Of cottage
cheese and pineapple.
Mona Barrie is advised by this de-
partment to watch her curves-roaSt
beef and vension with sour sauce,
ice cream and black coffee is sam
pie lunch.
Freddie Bartholomew eats what
the doctor and his aunt Millicent
order-sliced breast of chicken, one
vegetable, a cream soup, glass of
milk and, for dessert-it never varies
"a bowl of large cherries.
Beery Likes Steaks.
Wallace Beery and Carol Ann (his
daughter) are two inseparable COM
panions when wallie Is working.
Wallie consumed a large lunch of
steak, potatoes and vegetables. Carol
Ann takes milk and vegetables, but
scorns the steak. The deluded lass
eats spinach because here deceiving
father once told her that. if she ate
spinachc, she would grow up to be
an actress!
The Marx Brothers eat anything
that can be served on q three.way

side is none other than Robert Taylor.
Bob, like lots of other bachelor boys

THERE Is something new in the way
of entertainment this week on
the Fox stage. Kazanova is her name
and if you think Ina Ray Hutton had
fire, thunder, ambition and energy.
take look at this volcano from Eu-
rope-a young lady who slays her
violin, her "Tziganes" and her au-
dience and who by the end of the
performance is practically, or ought to
be anyway, dishrag.
Mile Kazanova has a new way OF
attacking music. Standing in front OF
her gypsy orchestra, she not only
plays her violin as though the devil
himself was behind her, but she leads
her cronies in a series of yips, yells
fist clinchings and pleadings and
winds her way among her also en-
ergetic musicians, Turing them on to
their duties with the zest of cannon
ball.
The results yesterday were both
wonderful and amazing. For a time
the audience didn't know what the
dickens was going on. Here was a
young lady with wild, cleaning eyes
no particular way of fixing her hair
(by the end of the performance il
was hanging Imply down her back)
and a musical ability that made those
dozen and more men play like Kreis-
lers. The more she twisted and
turned and prowled around like a
leopard. the more music seemed to
come out of those fiddles.
Then suddenly-there was the old
familiar Blue Danube" And with
that the audience knew it had what
it wanted. Although still dazed, IL
was pleased. Here was music at its
best. Kazanova had won. But she
had run tough race. We imagine
Mr.. Louis fight last night was 10C
per cent easier.
Other acts this week include that
excellent clown, Frank Libuse, in ex-
cellent form and with long suffer
ing partner; Charles Carlile, who
sings with the best of them and gets
an enthusiastic reception-and Max
inc, who climbs around glibly on that
wire.

The play was written by Local
Writer Minnie Frost Rands and won
first prize In a contest for children's
plays conducted last Spring by the

DOUGLAS STORY OPENS
SECOND WEEK AT KEITH'S
Magnificent Obsession" Is Nov
ing Production With Ro-
mantle Theme.

DERHAPS it was a mistake to be
unhappy over the fact that the
Universal picture people did not. by
far, do what they might have done
with Magnificent Obsession," which
opened last Friday at R-K-O Keith's.
and yesterday went into its second
week. Perhaps it is enough that they
have made an interesting tale Of
lovely romance in a motion picture
which is aimed heart-high-a motion
picture with its bit of melodrama, its
share of suspense, its sorrow and its
good, clean, true love, all of which will
have every woman in the audience
aglow with good feeling when the
happy elimination is reached.
This is not a retraction of the state
ments made last week anent the pro-
ducers' failure to develop the theme
they SUGGESTIVE thesis that by help
ing others, refusing TO allow the favor
to be returned and by keeping the
fact that the aid mas been given
strict secret, one will establish con-
tact with some cosmic power which
will enable him to have anything he
desires. This is an admission, how
ever, that the story, as it is and with
certain flaws which must be evident,
is a different and moving romance,
and Is we'll acted by most of the cast
and superbly acted by Miss Irene
Dunno.
Her performance as Helen Hudson,
whose husbands death she mentally
blamed indirectly on young Bobby
Merrick Robert Taylor and whose
own blindness resulted from an ac-
cident for which Bobby was the cause.
is intelligent and natural. Miss Dunno
holds herself admirably in reserve
when there might have been oppor-
tunities for her to "emote" too
heavily, and by doing exactly the
right thing at the right time. she
skilfully creates a believable blind
heroine from Lloyd c. Douglas novel.
Miss Dunne's supporting cast is
composed principally of Ralph Nor
gan, who is very fine every time the
camera is pointed at him; young
Betty Furness, who has her occasional
good moments and takes advantage of
them; Robert Taylor, who does his
best in the latter half of the film,
and Charles Butterworth, Sara Haden.
Arthur Treacher and Henry Armetta.
