Lost Horizon at Metropolitan

Many things can be said about
"Lost Horizon" now being
reeled off at the Metropolitan
this week, but surely, nothing
can be said against it.
Lost Horizon" directed by
Frank Capra," is somewhat fan.
tastic, but not to a degree Of the
impossible. It tells Of men who
long for a land Of peace and rest.
Ronald Coleman is one of these,
whose thoughts and aspirations
come true in a fertile valley sur
rounded by snow-swept noun
tains, high on a Tibet plateau.
The dreamy look in his eye and
the ethereal expression Of his
face, rs he is told why he is in
in Shangri-La, is that Of the
true CoIman. It reveals that
the part was chosen for him,
and no other.
The scenes impart the reali.
Zation that beyond the portals
of Shandri.La there is no other
life but that existing within the
mystic boundaries of the lama.

tence. An existence no one
could resist, once experienced.
Yet there is no lacking Of
comedy in the production, for
Edward Everett Horton readily,
and willingly, applies his art to
relieve the monotony of the I'M
realistic.
Supporting Coleman in this
picture, based on the novel by
James Hilton, is John Howard,
who does well as the brother Of
the latter; H. B. Warner, who
has not been seen for some time,
but who holds his own among
the cast. Jane Wyatt and Mango

Howard and Coleman, while

MEDICINE VS.. ROMANCE
DR.. Jud Lewis Cplayed by War

tice, a better disposition and an
attractive office nurse, when he
marries Ina (played by Loretta
Young. a Socialite beauty.
You can sympathize with ina
on a honeymoon when the phone
rings, summoning DR.. Judd to

leaving her to read medicine
books.
You can't blame Ina much,
either, when she finds that the

BILE about it all, gives up her
job, and DR.. Judd, denied the

into a blue funk. It Is Ina who
induces "Steve" to resume her
work, and it is Ina who is peeved
when DR.. Judd RECEIVERS q new
zest for life. Ina decides to go
to Reno, then changes her mind.
They settle this romantic
tangle finally by having DR..
Judd declare he will keep both

"Wife, Doctor and Nurse" is

StokoWski At

Deanna Durbin in 100 Men
and q Girl" yesterday opened to
a packed house at Keith's The
alter. Since Deanna's glorious
advent in Three Smart Girls"
at that playhouse some months
ago, her second venture has
been awaited with eagerneSs.
Success stamped her first effort
but even so, the remarkable
charm and finish which charac-
terizes the second is greater
than her most ardent followers
might have predicted.
STOKOWSKI MUSIC
True, Universal has provided
the wholesome and natural ID

ground commensurate with the
best but Deanna takes her place
therein like a veteran. Leopold
Stokowski, famed conductor Of
the Philadelphia Orchestra,
Adolphe Menjou, established
screen celebrity for many years;
Alice Brady, MiScha Auer, Eu-
gene Palette, Billy Gilbert and
Alma Kruger all join in making
this one Of the most delightful
performances Of the year.
Hans Kraly, credited with
such films as '"The Last Of Mrs.
Cheyney and Grand Hotel"
has written the story which Is
explanation enough Of the I'M
usual angles and interesting
twists which make this an out
standing entertainment. Henry
Roster directs, displaying a rare
judgment in the combination Of
symphony renditionS, lovely
singing and light plot, ending
up with Just the right percent
for each.
The whole idea hinges upon
Patsy Cardwell'S managing q
symphony concert for musicians
out Of work with the great Sto-
kowski directing. A maze of I'm.
happy situations leads to a final
and happy ending, Of course
Deanna is just a sweet, excit-
able youngster, who is so very
eager to have her daddy and
the others get a job. and in ad.
dition q fur collar for the
fathers coat. She might be any
refreshing high school girl, but
when she sings, one is trans
ported to the realms Of lovely
music.
SOME GRAND SINGING
ia Traviata," or Music IL
My Dreams; "Alleluja" OF
tits Raining Sunbeans," any
and all Of the songs which
Deanna sings so easily and so
exquisitely, alone make the pic
ture worthwhile. They include
such classics as "Lohengrin,"
LISTS Rhapsody" with Sto-
kowski leading some Of the
finest orchestra players, and
that might seem enough. Not
so, the story, though not en-.
tirely new, is so cleverly done
that it, too, would carry the
piece. Menjou as a down-and-
out artist is so realistic that the
tears spring up unbidden, and
Mischs, as the friend, is under.
standing to the point Of tragedy.
Palette and Alice Brady as
Mr.. and Mrs. Frost, Frank and
Bill Gilbert all turn in lighter
representations which enhance
by their very contrast.

news releases. First, the United

threaten the crops and verdure

horrible warning in China.

Stella Martin was the offspring
Of millworkerS; she was cheap,
tawdry, a common strain ran in
her blood; she wanted to know the
better things in life, she wanted
to rise above herself, but she did
not know how.
Stephen Dallas was a Harvard
honor man whom circumstances
sent to the small town in which
Stella lived; Stella was not so
much in love with Stephen as she
was with the distinction it gave
her to be his wife; at last she was

but Stella was loud, vulgar, given
to crude display.

When their daughter was born
Stella poured all her love out on
the child; she could not do enough
for her; Stephen made good in
his chosen work and was sent to
the New York office; Stella would
not go; she had just reached the
point in local society where she
could have some fun, so she kept
the child and Stephen returned to
his old crowd and his old love
who was now a widow with three
fine sons. The child, Laurel,
spent her holidays with her father,
meeting his friends, returning to
her mother loyal with devotion,
for Laurel Dallas was her fathers
child, gentle, well-bred, without a
trace of Stella.
When Stephen mentioned d.

made him the more determined;
he moved in his quiet way while
Stella took her chick and went to
fashionable hotel where there
was gaiety; instinctively the child,

Presently, they ran away. It was
 typical of Shelley that Mary's sis ter ran with them. It was rough crossing to Calais. They jour- neyed to Paris in cabriolet drawn by three horses abreast. There their money ran out. Shelley bor- rowed from a lawyer acquaintance and the trio proceeded, afoot, to- ward Switzerland. They bought small donkey to carry their posses sions. The donkey was so weak that presently this curious group of three young English people found themselves carrying the donkey.
 Very shortly they were home sick. Back they went to England, where Shelley had the sensation of standing always in the pillory."
 Tn England, the first child of Mary and Shelley died, and sec- ond was born. The Shelleys fled again. And again they were &C., companied by Jane, who presently changed her name to Claire, had an affair with Byron and child by him, Allegra.

 In Mary he seemed to have found an almost perfect counter part. Ever at the back of his mind dwelt his ideal of perfect physical beauty united to perfect spiritual beauty" Maternity and the trials of their strange life had their effect, how ever.

Her father was saloon proprietor who had made money and retired. He forebade their meetings. Shelley's reputation as an atheist and gen. eral on-conformist being wide spread.
 More out of sympathy than love, he ran away with Harriet to Edin- burgh, where they were married. This was, of course, minor viola ton of the code. What followed, when he deserted Harriet for Mary, was much worse.
 He explained it, with his ruthless logic, by saying that his love for HaEiet had died and that it was sinful to continue the form of mar riage in such case. Right or wrong, the world would have lost quantity of its highest poetry had he been more obedient to conven- tions.
 The circumstances of the sepa- ration were, however, terribly pain- full. The ethereal realm in which Shelley's mind moved was hard to climb to. Harriet, first grieved by his desertion, presently sought so- lace. When her reputed lover left her, and she was expecting 8 child, she drowned herself.

SISTER ACCOMPANIED MARY IN FLIGHT

Shelley's love and exile were, in a way, exceptional. That was because they grew out of principle and what he took to be the high est moral causes Disciple of the social philosopher Goodwin, he be- lieved in mans perfectibility, scorn- ed worldly position and wealth, and preached Supreme Spirit who had little in common with the Old Testament Jehovah. Idealistic. im- pulsive, chivalrous, there was noth- ing of the libertine about him, nothing of the Regency hell-rake which his friend Lord Byron so notably exemplified.
 Mary Wollstonecraft was the daughter of the brilliant writer of the same name and the philosopher Goodwin. Mary's mother died at her birth. Goodwin married again. and it was at his house, where Shelley came to glean the wisdom of the author of Political Justice" that the lovers met.
