The two meet when Donat saves
Countess Alexandra ,cant pronounce
the last name, 20 forget it, please
from execution. After that they are
harassed across Russia steppe by
steppe, escaping disguised as peasants,
soldiers, White Russians, Red Rus
SLAMS, pink Russians, Russians in love
whatever that color Isl. A chase is
always good for = bit Of excitement,
after all. and the direction Of Jacques
Feyder has wrung the last ounce Of
stimulation out Of this running melo-
drama.
Prior to the introduction OF the
pursuit angle, however, there is some
extremely complicated background
work, replete with scenes at the court
Of the Car, terroristic plottings Of the
Bokheviki, and dash OF Siberia. In
20 far as the Imperial Government,
the White revolt and the Red coun-
ter-revolt are concerned, Mr.. Feyder
has taken exactly no stand whatso-
ever. but does commit himself TO the
proposition that 1t is cold in Siberia,
where political prisoners are sent.
MOST OF this is 50 much stamping
around the treadmill, until the
morning when the Countess Alexandra
AwAkens in her castle, rings for her
servants and gets no answer. 1t is
then that she realizes for the first
time that the good old days are gone,
that there will be no more squat
dancing in the palace corridors, no
more frozen herring and champagne
for breakfast or pitching Of peasants
to the wolves.
Immediately after this drear pros
pect dawns upon her ladyship. Mr..
Donat appears to save her from = fate
which is maliciously said to be worse
than death, and the chase IS on.
AZ for acting, Mr.. DonAt Is easy,
self-confident in his role, gives the
piece such crispness as it possesses,
toward the end finds himself showed
into the background by = powerful
hit Of performance from youngster
named John Clements, cast as q young
Red commissar whose quixotic suicide
frees the countess and her lover Is
they are about to 60 to trial.
Miss Wietrich is still the glamour
girl. never the actress in her imper-
sonation, which Is roughly modelled
on the principle OF the alternating
current in electricity. First she Ap-
pears swathed in q gorgeous costume.
then she appears in nothing at ALL
at all, discretly veiled by . tub Of
soapsuds, some riverside reeds or
whatnot. This dressing and undress-
ing gets along swimmingly, enchant-
ing the admirers of Miss Dietrich 3
costumes. and those who merely ad-
mire IL Dietrich.

her a star, meanwhile rob her Of her
hard earned cash.
Miss Hervey is effectively dramatic
in the part, transmitting very nicely
from q gal veneered with bitterness
to one who Is almost painfully senti-
mental. Playing opposite her is Robert
Armstrong, who not only Is capable OF
interpreting his part with commend
able merit. but has the additional vir-
tue of being a movie hero who looks
just like any other mug.
In addition to these two, you will
see Paula Stone doing q most un-StOne
like role, a taxi-dancer with a lot Of
hard boiled lingo to deal out in 4
surprisingly hard-boiled voice. One
always thinks OF the Stone girls as not
being cut out for that sort Of thing,
but Paula can do it,
AS to what is called montage, "The
Girl Said No." with its strong demand
for the down-at-the- heel, is not ex-
actly a pleasant sight to the eye It's
about as pretty as you would expect
the hangout of ex-actors to be.
The film is capably directed by
Arthur L. Stone who, having written
the original story should have had 4
pretty keen understanding OF it.

CORONATION IN COLOR
FEATURE AT TRANS.LUx
Cameras Also Capture Varied
Events Of Importance in
News Of the Day.

A LII the color and splendor that
was the coronation Is vividly
portrayed in the new technicolor pic
lures Of the affair, now showing at
the Trans-Lux for the hrst time In
Washington. There are brilliant views
in color Of the peers Of the British
Empire, posing in their coronation
regalia; Of the crown jewels and all
the paraphernalia Of the crowning,
and OF the procession, with the va
rious military units In their colorful
dress uniforms and with the gold
coach Of state painting picture OF
the empires power. It's 4 reel that's
interesting from beginning to end and
ought to be seen; at least by all coro-
nation-minded people.

We found out for the first time that
cowboys ride the range down there,
tossing steers for 4 loss and doing all
the other things oowhands do out
in the Western States where you'd
expect to find than.
The parade OF day to day news goes
on. marked by unrest the world over.
Japan rushes troops to Chinese ter
ritory as the Sino-Japanese war peril
flares again. Here In the United
States the Coast Defense tries out
12-inch guns. in Spain thousands OF
refugees crowd into Santander to
starve and 4 handful are carried of
to France and safety. back in Japan
there's military ceremony as Nippon's s
West Point graduates omcers, and
In England Fascists demonstrate un-
der Sir Oswald Mosley.
Locally the cameras look upon such
varied things as the passing Of Sena-
tor Robinson and the court battle,
and the recent Anacostia Festival.
And around the rest OF the land life
goes on. Girls make costumes Of
handkerchiefs. Russian fliers land in

raiding gardens in fashionable

The plant anchor" is no myth.
It's an iron gadget which when
pushed under the ground opens up

one to remove it. To the other end
Cf the anchor is a chain with

Thieves won't wrestle with such a
