pARAMOUNT'S motion picture ver-
sion of last seasons hit musical
comedy, Anything Goes" which yes
terday moved to Loew's Columbia
Theater for its second week on F
street, is light, frothy and melodic
adaptation of the original. 1t has to
recommend it Ethel Norman, sing
ing her way merrily through the
role she had on Broadway; Bing
Crosby, also singing and doing it much
better than he has in a few of his
past films; Charlie Ruggles and Ar
thur Treacher to handle the comedy,
and Ida Lupino and Grace Bradley
to provide decoration.
The photoplay isn't as uproariously
funny as was its stage counterpart,
but it still has enough of the mad
ness of the original to make for plenty
OF fun. There have been minor
changes in the plot, too, but they,
happily. haven't done anything to
detract from the insanity of that
voyage to England, with a young
chap following a girl he doesn't
know because he thinks she needs
his help, with Cabaret Star Reno
Sweeney giving him assistance be-
cause she loves him, and with all of
them getting mixed up with the
gentlest of all public enemies. No. 13.
who was trying to work up to No. z

Many Of the lines are those con-
tributed by Howard Lindsay and
Russell Grouse for the stage version
and that guarantees their humor. The
music, too, is the Cole Porter music
from the Broadway show-including
You're the Top" made refreshing
all over again by Miss Norman and
MIR. Crosby, and There Will Always
Be Lady Fair"
All Of the members of the cast have
a merry good time with the dizzy lines
OF the farce, and until you're seen

Limbo" Surge" to a magnificent
climax in "Apotheosis
In the sustaining of idea, and par
ticularly in the variety and beauty Of
movement and posture, Mr.. Shawn
has reached plane Of artistry as yet
not attained by other dance creators.
The dancers move through the ab-
stract themes with smooth interweav-
ing Of intricate movements, as perfect
work of art as has been seen on the
dance stage. In Surge" the undulat-
ing change of position by the dancers
created powerful effect which culmi-
mated in the gloriously free expressive
ness of the "Apotheosis."
Equaling this potent number in pro-
fundity of thought were the panto-
mined interpretations of Shawn's solo,
"A Study of st. Francis of Assist" and
Three Varieties of Religious Expert
ences," as danced by Fred Hearn, Will
liam Howell and Ned Coupland. Three
Negro spirituals, danced on last sea-
sons program, THE Dance of the
Redeemed" and THE Mevlevi Der
viSh," danced by Shawn. completed the
group Of religious numbers.
In the group of dances on folk and
art themes Shawn's "Danza Afro
Guiana" Los Embozados" by Shawn
and ensemble, "A Dreier Lithograph"
and Barton Mumaw's exquisite Pier
rot in the Dead City" we're outstanding
numbers. The program opened with
dances in primitive rhythm, among
which were the "Hopi Indian Eagle
Dance" by Shawn and 'Dayak Spear
Dance" by Barton Mumaw.
If space permitted. one would like
to enter into a detailed description of
these dances. which contain SO many
evidences of the artistic caliber of
thought behind their invention. The
members of the ensemble again showed
their supreme mastery of technique
and the excellence of their training.
The audience, although not as large
as the character Of the performance
warranted, was enthusiastically appre-
ciative, and only lack of time kept
the program from being extended by
numerous encores. At each recall Mr..
Shawn asked Jess Meeker, his accom-
panist and the composer of much of
the music used for the dances, to share
in the cordial reception accorded him.

Meanwhile, the question of what
will happen to Merle Oberon is rem
dered simpler by the fact that Mar

walked out, broke her arm and will
probably be out of pictures for the
next two months. Before Miss SULLIVAN
was contracted for the film, originally
titled II Loved A Soldier" Merle
Oberon, sought for the starring role,
was forced to decline because of the
imminent shooting-date of The Gar
den of Allah" Now that Marlene is
apparently willing to relieve her of
this responsibility, the door of the
Imperial Hotel set is wide open for
her.

Benjamin Rather, pianist,
gave sonata recital last
- night in the Hall of Nations
Of the Washington Hotel before a
a large and enthusiastic audience.
The young soloists received much ap-
plause after each of the four sonatas
which formed the program, and they
were recalled many times. Their en-
semble work is exceptionally good, the
playing Of one molding into that of
the other as though they had been
working together for years rather than
months.
Mr.. Harris plays with light and deli
cate lingering, making his scales and
cadenzas even and clean. His tone
is good, but not large and at times,
particularly in the upper part of the
scale, it is sharp and not always true.
Mr.. Rather does equally clear and
even finger work, his rather generous
tone not lacking in color, though. at
times it is a bit hard. The Mozart
sonata in F major opened the pro-
gram and was followed by Grieg' S
sonata in c minor. opus As. In both,
their ensemble work was outstanding.
Afterr the intermission they played
Schubert's sonata in D major, opus
1877, a lovely work, well done and the
program closed with the famous
sonata Of Beethoven, opus Al known
as the "Kreutzer,"a composition which
many more experienced artists might
hesitate to play.
Both young men give much promise
for their work is good. Mr.. Harris will

better position and tone, and Mr..
Rather shows appreciation of musical
values which will make his devel-
opment rapid. K B.

something new to discover in theil
art. More than this, there Is a true
ness about their interpretations that
wins one to the conviction that the
dance increases in effective expression
through the strength, freedom and
naturalness of the male dancer. Here
is the dance art unconfined by any
restriction Of subject or physical
handicap.
The programs which Mr. Shawn
creates seem designed to prove the
dance was originally used exclusively
by men and that it can serve not only
to portray the primitive impulses and
the few subjects of strictly masculine
character but that it can also express
idealized emotions and thoughts. Into
this territory, where women dancers
have reigned supreme, Shawn has
brought his men, training them in
thought as well as in their physical
development One carries away from
his recitals more than the pleasure
OF a splendid performance, for the
ideas contained therin and expressed
with verify and beauty, sink deep into
the consciousness to be remembered as
an uplifting experience.
Inexhaustible in Originality.
Mr.. Shawn is inexhaustible in his
originality and the breadth of his cul-
tural interests. He enters profoundly
into the spirit and character he pre-
sents with a fine sensitivity and CLEANS
from 1t just the right amount of its
essence to re-create, with a minimum
of technical expense the broad lines
Of the whole. He has trained his
men to visualize in this manner and
their ensemble work is guided by
strength of idea whatever its char
acter may be.
The center point of interest in yes
terdays program was Shawn's latest
creation, "Kinetic Molpai." An ex-
planatory note says: "The Molpe
was the ancient art form; in its
essence it is only the yearning
Of the whole dumb body to ex-
press that emotion for which words
and harps and singing are not enough. +"
In his modern adaptation of the old
Molpai, Mr.. Shawn has conceived a
powerful work that progresses through
several movements entitled Strife" !"

THE Story of Louis Pasteur" Is

this week and we hope it gets q
big week at the Metropolitan. One
Of the most worthwhile films Of this
year or any other year, it presents
Paul NUM- in one of his finest roles
and one which every student of the
drama will want to see.
The picture has been produced with
infinite regard to detail and deserves
the attention not only Of doctors and
their allies, but of every serious-think-
ing person in town. While its prog
reSs is not dynamic, it is sure and
consistently moving and it presents
problems which you or I or anybody
else should want to know about.
The cast is perfect in every instance
and includes splendid work done by
such capable actors as Josephine

film is one which you certainly will
not want to miss.

PEDESTRIAN AUTO DEATHS
GREATER IN THE FALL

Ray Ingels, director of the California
motor vehicle department, delving into
statistics, has discovered that the fall
of the year is the most dangerous season
of all to pedestrians in this state.
In California, for the months of Oc-
tober, November and December, 1888,
a total of 3040 pedestrians were killed
or injured in autompbile accidents. To
be specific, $50 were killed and 26oO
injured.
In Imperial county during that period,
eight pedestrians were killed and four
injured.
Surely these figures are sufficient
argument for careful observance OF traf-
fic laws, both by pedestrians and motor
lists. Carelessness of pedestrians in
crossing the streets at intersections is
one of the principal causes Of accidents
of this kind. Ingels' statistics revealed
that, out of 1914 accidents of this type
in 1885, there were 1850 at intersections
and 2424 between intersections.
Carefulness is the watchword OF safe
ty on the streets.
