Jqselito .Charles Brokaw Pedro .ludson ban git I "The White Peacock"' is n melodrama ?cut to an antique and ornate pattern. It strutted on Spanish balustrades at the G?medy Theater yesterday as the background for Mme. Petrova. a Rus? sian actress or iridescent, charm, but more supple and sinuous than any pea? cock is entitled to be. The production, which is under the Selwyns, p;ivcs an overflowing measure of.Petrova. Not only is she the lead? ing figure in the play, but she is_ its author and the designer, with Clifford Pember, of the stage settings. The settings may well be credited as excel? lent studies in Spanish interior. Cer? tainly the color? and appointments are ? i arm mj wi h tue mood of the play Phi? stor$ of the marital triangle ir Spirill is curiously embroidered witV murder, prison i scapes, gun t? 1.<>, dag' ?ors and the right of woman to worl 01 ? her salvation through worl . Tin ' eroino is revolted by the conduct o' her husband, and properly, perhaps, fo: ho continually breathes his atachmen ?pon the back of her neck in henvil; aspirated tones. The result in exp?o sive emotion has often proved fatal t< the stanchesi scenery. When you see "T;,c White Peacock' prepare to shud your shudders in tin third ;..;. where Petrova wring.- com fosiion from an indiscreet bandit whi : p ; p oviously ''. . tened upon her love: the responsibility for the central mur der of the plot. Whether she die from the gunshot wound at the hand of the bandit is, after all, a matter o opinion, and the question has no plac in the statement of facts. B. T. ?

Amusing Offerinj?; "Hem Freo" at Ria!,. > An amu'.dng picture call, .1 "Pardon i M\ .rench" Is the feature al the Cap itol this week. Tho story is thin and vve hate to think what it would have becomo if il had been in different hands, Sidney Olco.tl is the director, however. Bild he has lllissotl no oppor? tunity to infuse his own humor into the picture. Oh, what ? boon is a di? rector with a sense of humor! If we were s producer we should go about : telling our favorite story to directors, and those who missed the point could never direct the destinies of our; Playlet. Vivian Martin as the girl, Polly, con-l tributos a lot to the pleasure of the oc? casion and Irvill Cold) did tin lilies in j nearly his inimitable style. Those who are familiar with Mr. Cobb's writings, however, will no doubt miss the subtle-I ties which they have enjoyed. Perhaps lie believes thai subtleties and sub-!. titles arc nol compatible, for homo of his humor on the screen could possihl; be missed by even the least astute of Ins readers. Tho picture is made from Kdwnrd , Childs Carpenter's "Polly of the Pantry" and tells the story of soun misguided Thespians who were strand? ed in Kingston and worked their way ? lo New York on a "private yacht."! After that roily, the ingenue, went as a French maid find Bunny, the bul , 1er of the stranded play, went, as a j butler In real 11fe. Ho said he hail buttered for Fro liman, i Belasco and the Shubert 'ires., when asked for references. 'The first part of l lie pi ci uro was I much funnier than the lasl of it, but where is the farce that can sustain its 'tempo? And the better it is In : the beginning the greater risk it j runs of becoming anti-climactic. There j nre some amusinc scenes when a fam , ily from Cyclone Center tire blown ? ? away, and when they alight they find ? ; they have nothing left but the walls ' of their home. These are papered with old oil stock, and, of course, as | they ere contemplating them the post? man walks in with a letter telling them that they are millionaires. Grace Studiford, looking just like Madame j Petrova. is seen as a counters in name c , only. The picture is a Goldwyn. Harold Lloyd in "A Sailor Marie | Man" is the comedy. It is quite as : amusing as Lloyd's comedies have' been in *he past, which is tho highest j I form of praise. He always can bo relied upon to do something new. and he des not seem to believe that it is uproar? iously funny to fall down or to kick : the heroine by mistake when yen arel aiming at the villain. ! The overture is "Sixth Hungarian ?Rhapsody," nnd there is n wonderful ballet called "Funeral March of the 1 Marionettes." Erik Bye and the Cnpi- ' ! toi singers render "Cantique de Noel." "Lent Free." the Wallace Reid pic ?ture at the Rialto. insn't up to a great deal, thoiiffh it does furnish a few amus? ing moments. As we watched Reid's. facile humor, however, we could not help comparing his work with "The Wonian God Forgrot," and some of the other pictures which he made at that ' time. How he has changed! He does ; not rely at all on his good looks; at | present he acts. Not that he has not | been doing so for some time, but his present picture is not sufficiently ex : citiner to divert your attention from ! the star to the theme. Mr. Reid is seen as an impecunious artist who is dispossessed by a hard hearted landlady and who takes up his abode on the roof. Two young women from an adjoining house are dis? possessed at the same time and they sot up housekeeping on the roof under o tent. The artist wanders ! around on the different roofs until he finds a way into one of the houses, and then he invites the young ladies to stay 1 with him. Lila Lee and Gertrude Short pare cast as the homeless ones. One of the scenes gives Miss Lee a per ? fectly legitimate excuse for letting ' down her hair and it. is the most beau? tiful thing in the picture. Clarence Gekl?rt and Claire McDowell are ca.F. as the Count and Countess de Mour ney, und we wondered if i; shouldn't be spelled Mornay, like the eggs. The story is by Izola Forrester and Mann Page, and the direction by Howard J??Tgin. The overture is "Merry Wives of Windsor." Edoardo Albano sings "It 1 Came Upon a Moonlight Clear." Tony Sarg has an amusing new picture c ill ?<.! . "The Original Golfer.*' Harvard Orchestra Concert .Inn. Stanley and Geo.
