HE wee Mr. Ernest Truex. who acts young husbands so well, is again out of 4uck with a dull play. "New Toys" is its title, and it is the work of Oscar Hammersteln If and his friend, a nice boy named Milton Herbert Gropper. When it is said that the comedy is dull it is not meant that it Is unsuccessful. It was merely unsuccessful with the first nighters and other critics. At its in itial exhibition Mr. Truex strove very hard to be amusing, since, earlier In the season, he had failed to please in "The Vegetable,’’ a drama composed by his pal and neighbor, Mr. Scott Fitzgerald. But, although Mr. Truex was en tertaining, his surroundings were not. He performed as the bewildered little husband of a stage-stricken wife (Miss Vivienne Osborne), who neglected him and the baby in order to become a Broadway star. One scene in the play moved the wise New York first audience to enthusiastic *r*ty. The handsome actress and her manager had gone gayly away to the theater, leaving him alone in the humble npartment. A distant grama phone was to be heard wailing the popular lament, "My Sweetie’s Gone Away." .The telephone interrupted his desolation, summoning him to the arms of a former sweetheart, a red lipped and sensuous siren (Miss Mary ltuncan). Desperate and Indignant, he put on his hat and coat and was about to go to her when . . . What do you think happened? Well, the baby began to cry softly from its cradle in the living room—as the cur tain slowly fell. Mr. Truex is the most lifelike of t lie little da-da actors. As Mr. Will Rogers would say. he swings a mean milk bottle. In "New Toys" he also performs other baby rites of a nature so Intimate that they may not with delicacy be referred to outside of home circles and the theater. . . The ending is happy not only because it concludes a tedius evening. The young wife turns out to be Impotent as a Broadway attraction, though it Is clearly Intimated that she is a bad actress. Therefore she creeps home to her husband and her infant, vow ing that she is done forever with the hoards. "Beggar On Horseback" Is a sprightly burlesque adapted by Messrs. Kaufman and Connelly from a foreign play by Paul Ruble —or it is Paul Konek? In It Mr. Roland Young as a penniless mu siclan la tempted by an unesthetlc rich girl to marry her for her money. Immediately after he has ac cepted her proposition he falls alscep and has a terrible nightmare. This dream shows him how inad visable It would be for him to ful fill his bethothal. The family with which he is about to connect him self is proved to be a nuisance bi its indifference to sweetness and light. Jt is vulgarly commercial, predis posed to golf, money and dancing and dining in the New York cnbRrets rather than to the helpful sym phonies and sonatas. In one of the frenzied phases of bis aberration tbe composer mur ders bis wife and all his wife's folks with a paper knife, because they do not appreciate his musical composi tions. Many abuses are pilloried by Messrs. Kaufman and Connelly in this hideous phantasmagoria — big business, jazz orchestras, tin-can novelists, poets and dramatists, as sassination. outdoor life and the radio .... “Beggar on Horseback” Is the first adventure in deep thinking by Messrs. Kaufman and Connelly, who, as fly young New Yorkers,-are above par. From their satiric tower at Broadway and Forty-fourth street they have issued many laughable bul letins about tbe naive life of the un sophisticated provincials. But in their latest play they give consideration to the more universal blemishes . . . . Here is where they are shrewd show men in "Beggar on Horseback.” The high-browed regard the play as amus ingly low browed, and the lowbrowed enjoy it because they suspect that it is amusingly hlgh-browcd. Miss Jane Cowl's newest essay in tlie popularization of Shakespeare oc curs too late in the week to be avail able for these dispatches. It may be reported, however, that, according to rumor, Miss Cowl has been unselfish in her revival of "Antony and Cleo patra” and has permitted Mr. Rollo Veters, as the sensual soldier, to dominate the voluptuous Shakespear ian proceedings hard by the Nile. ,Miss Cowl's version of "Antony and Cleopatra,” it is said, is that em ployed by Reerbohm Tree at His Majesty’s theater in Eondon. wherein Sis Herbert’s Antony cut consider ably more figure than Miss Con stance Collier's Cleopatra. Your cor respondent hopes that you can wait until next week to hear the big news about our leading exponent of the bard, in her impersonation of his naughty and eloquent Egyptian.

Motion pictures have nl«nj« been anil alweys will Tic. by the very vir tue of the process concerned In their manufacture and distribution, mass entertainment. Thej must appeal to the many and not the fen. In view of these facts, therefore, allow me to take the stand that the artistic motion picture Is by the sainc token the one that Is the most suc cessful at the boxoffice. Such a belief is, J know, contrary to that held by many In the motion picture business. We are still hear In* that famous phrase, •'ll was an artistic success, but a boxofflcs fail ure." “There Isn't any such animal. If it's an artlatic success. It's a hoxof fire success and if It’s a boxoffice failure it's an artistic failure The motion picture has as Its pur pose (lie entertainment and relaxa tion of millions.

And this strengthening of Inridenta la abso lutely essential In a photodramn, for you must replace the emotion crest tng voice of the speaking stage with silent but deflnile action that pro ceeds to a definite conclusion. Contrast Is another tool we must make use of In motion pictures. It Is another tool to help us offset the loss of the voice. If you hays an sly zed any nr my pictures yon will find that the extravagance nf h wild party in “Manslaughter" la set against (lie bare and dismal walla nf a penitentiary, while In "The Ten < omniandmenta ' a lei rifle charge nf chariots is countered by the besting of a tmdhrr's In at i Consider these two arguinrnta for a moment V And then think over this question:! “What makes people enter a theater?" Of course the bald answer is. to be entertained. And entertain them you must for if you don't the public takes ns money where It receives the com modify it cra\cs. “What entertains the public?" That, of course is the next ques tion. Several years ago I came to the conclusion that story alone, the mere relating of the surface contacts of a few sporadic characters, was not suf ficient You must have n theme, your story must lead to a definite conclusion that will strike sn an swerlng note |n the lives of the peo ple who see your pictures. People said that T was crazy to start my series of plays dealing specifically with divorce problems and yet they have been a successful group of photoplays. And of course your people must he Immsnd and likable. That goes without saving.

He attended school at Trinity col lege, at Hartford, Conn., and was one of the returned graduates at the oc casion of the 100th anniversary of the college last spring. C. Z. Gould of Omaha, who is one of the oldest graduates of the college, tells of Dick’s visit there. "Dick Barthelmess proved to be [ one of the modest and backward young fellows of the reunion—he seemed to enjoy himself hugely from the background. "I, unfortunately, was one of the oldest graduates in attendance and was made to suffer accordingly by being in the foreground as 'one of the oldest.’ "I recall at our college fraternity banquet, 'Psi t'psllon,' the speaker Invited ‘our noted film star memlier, Richard Barthelmess,’ up to the speaker's table. " 'I'd rather stay down here with the young fellows,' said Dick. 'I did not come to be a film star. All I want is to he one (ft the boys again. Barthelmess is at the Strand this week in "The Fighting Blade.” r-- ~ ' Czechoslovak Film at the Brandeis _y An entire program of film out of Cecho-Slavakia will be presented at the Brandeis theater for three days starting today. "The Cross at the Brook" is the title of the feature picture. "Prague of Today" is the screen-travclogue and "President Masaryk in His Inti mate Surroundings" is the title of the news film which is eimilar to our Fathe Weekly. The picture of Prague shows the ancient historical city, as it is today—a worthy expon ent of one of the most progressive new republics created since the war. It gives an intimate view of life in the capital, close-up views of its peo ple, its palaces and buildings. There are some wonderful animated screen effects which so far have not been produced anywhere else and repre sent quite a novelty in the s< re»n art. The reel showing Masaryk. the president of the new republic, is an intimate study of his daily life, pic turing him at his daily task, how he lives and plays. All the pictures sre titled in both English and Bohemian so that they may be understotxl by both nationali ties. "The Cross at the Brook” is a love story dealing with a family that has I been cursed in a prophecy. It is pro [ dieted that every marriage would bring miserv and trouble, and it diys. until one day a girl determines to smash this curse, no matter what th* cost. How she does It and what be comes of it, is the story. While the play enda in happiness, there is deep appeal, dramatic action, and thrilling situationa before the final fade-out. The picture has been produced on a lavish scale and is acted by a cast which includes some of the heat tal ent in Caacho Slovakia. The film was brought to this country front Prague hy Frederick ltyhar and will be pre sented under his personal supervi sion. r \ “Jealous Husbands'' on Rialto Screen This If rrk s_/ Maurice Tourneur's "Jealous Hus hands." a story of what trouble and| grief can be caused in a family by the demon of Jealousy w ill be the feature attraction of the Itialto presentation thla week. Ttie story portrays the vivid con trasts between the rich and the low Iv; the respectable and the dregs of society, with two romances inter twined in the dramatic fabric of the story. The dangers of unthinking jealousy is ths theme of this fascinat- ; ing story, and it will strike at the heart of every person who sees it. Mr. Tourneur has gathered a not able cast for his production. In it are Ben Alexander, Jane Novak. Earle William, George Siegtnann. Bull Mon- \ tana. J. Gunnis Pavis and Emily FUiroy.
