the redoubtable Chan has operated IN
the past.
Those who like Warner GLAND as
Chan, and their names must be legion
or he could not have gone on forever,
will like him in the "at the opera"
chapter Of his career. Those who do
not like him will stay away and those
who drop in Just to find out what IT
Is all about at least will not be hurt.
Chan never hurt any one who was
innocent and this picture will be no
exception.
It deals, as the Chan fans will want
To know. with one insane, two I'M
pliedly unfaithful and one jealous
opera singers. The two impliedly un-
faithful ones-a baritone and soprano
are neatly murdered. 1t is up to
Chan to decide whether the madman.
or the Jealous contralto, has welded
the dagger. He decides and every
thing ends AS happily as it is possible
for things to end happily when the
bodies of baritones and blonds are sort
of strewn all over the place.
DORIS KARLOFF is the madman.
~ AS usual. he interprets insanity
with a properly realistic touch. Real
lstic, at least, to those who would rec
ornize insanity at Karloff's distance, If
not closer up.
In addition, there is Charlotte Hen
nv. Keye Luke, Thomas Beck and
Margaret Irving, who play the typical
subordinate roles in typical Charlie
Chan.
The backstage background of Char
lie Chan at the Opera" Is not unin-
teresting. 1t is authentic backstage at
least up to the point where it intro
duces more trapdoors than one would
find in all Washington theaters put
together. more subterranean prop
rooms than there were in medieval
castles and more murderous atmos-
phere than one would expect even
where artistes gather. Always. how
ever. it retains the appearance of good
Charlie Chan. That should be enough
for Chan fans.

GEORGE BEATTY, billed as Half
Singer, Half-Wit," stands at the
pinnacle Of the vaudeville bill, which
was not so high yesterday afternoon
in the face Of an appalling audience
apathy. Mr.. Beatty, who has some
good lines, extracted some laughs from
an audience that sounded more polite
than enthusiastic AS for applause.
it certainly was not his fault II every
one was sitting with q handful Of
Christmas packages.
Handsomest thing on the stage pro-
gram is the "Liesbestraum," which Is
danced by Lunina and Lattanz, as
sisted by the ever-reliable Elida Bal
let. The Elida group, billed as an
extra added attraction" gives the
show an eye appeal that might have
been seriously lacking had not Gene
Ford. or some one, remembered the
possibilities inherent In this always
talented ballet.
In addition. Moore and Revel offer
a comic dance routine which has in
it larger element of comic appeal
than is evident if you judge the
performance by its reception when
the audience has its mind on Christ
mas shopping.
Out of Ear Carroll's Sketch
Book" the stage show has drafted
three acrobatic lads billed as the st.

"ipatlng Christmas here for she
has been abroad at her home in
Biarritz for so many years.
Are you in a quandary about
Christmas gifts? If so just
contact that energetic and
charming wife of Admiral Bris-
tol. She has a novel idea about
them and you don't have to
do a thing. Mrs. Bristol is a
wise hostess and realizes that
succulent pink Virginia ham
can't be beaten for a gift. So
each Christmas she scurries
around finding the hams or
dered by her friends, packs
them up in bright paper, with
a sprig or two of holly, and
sends them to their destina-
ton! We wonder how she man
ages to do all of this each
season as we haven't been to
a party in the last month that
we have not glimpsed this
smart looking matron.
A picture postal card from
Buenos Aires this morning
brought a thrill with it when
we realized that that very
charming Cabinet hostess, Mrs.
Cordell Hull, had not forgotten
us. Signed F. H., it told us that
she missed us and wished that
we might be along to enjoy, as
she is, every minute of her stay
in South America.
Stunning Mrs. Bowler Hull

her Massachusetts, Avenue resi-
