“Blonde Venus”
With Dietrich, at Earle.
OSEF VON STERNBERG, one
of Paremount’s ace directors,
fcols audiences which have
the habit of calling one of
the Fatherland's best
actresses Marlene “legs,” Diet
rich. The only chance he has
In which to reveal these famous
extremities he turns this lovely lady
about and,
while she, as
an embryonic
chorus lady,
demon strates
their efficacy to
a g e n 11eman
who may hire
her for his
music hall—as
far as the local
audience Is con
cerned there, 1st
nothing to be
seen but Miss
Diet rich’s
rather conven
tional and well
costumed back.
Marlene Dietrich Thus the “legs"
tradition is
shattered. So are a good many
other things in this Madelcn Claudet
type of film, "Blonde Venus," which
opened yesterday at Warner's Earle.
Miss Dietrich, more comely at cer
tain high pressure moments than
ever before, is featured as one of
those motherlove experts who would
lather do anything than have her
child torn from her. While the
theme is often dreary, and in spots
almost objectionable as far as we
could see It makes "swell" enter
tainment—and is acted all the way
through up to the hilt.
Miss Dietrich is one of the few
screen heroines who can remain calm
in the midst of hysteria. An en
emy of the face-twisting school, she
conducts herself with cold bril
liance—and even when she is toss
ing away Si,500 to a lady companion
in a 15 cent lodging house, she does
not give in to the customary rant
ings and roarings which afflict some
of our native Hollywood actresses.
Locking for all the world like Sadie
Thompson in one or two of the scenes,
she s-ems to say “well—why didn't
you let me play 'Rain' ”—which,
incidentally, is not a bad thought
Inasmuch as Miss Joan Crawford's
version is said to be Sunday School
entertainment compared with the
original.
Tne Blonde Venus is a tortured
young mother who. in order to get
money enough to send off her ail
ing hu'band for his health, indulges
in a hearty love affair with a mil
lionaire playboy (Cary Grant). At
the unexpected return of her hus
band. who has believed her to be
playing fair with him all the time,
she is kicked out of doors—but in
that kicking takes the child with
her. Then follows a series of un
pleasant doings—with the poor wom
an hounded all over the earth—and
finally—well what you expect if you
aren't counting on tragedy.
Miss Dietrich is better than ever
in this lachrymose fable—and Her
bert Marshall, one of the best of
the British actors is especially na
tural as her husbrnd. Mr. Grant is
well enough as the playboy, and
Dickie Moore will tear ladies to
pieces by his acting as the small,
homeless little boy.
The stage show is particularly
notable this week. It includes the
world's best dancer, Hal Leroy: a
close runner-up in Mitzi Mayfair;
Nan Halperin in two good and one
no, so good ''women” skits; Vic
Oliver getting his customary big
hand, and Johnston and girls who
make lots of ncise on three xylo
phones. The surprise moment of
the show comes when Maxine Doyle
comes in and acts surprisingly well
in a minute or two without her
theme song, "Thank you!”
E. de S. MELCHER.
“Smilin' Through," at Palace,
Held Over Second Week.
A DMIRERS of the stage version of
“Smilin’ Through” need not fear
what the screen has done to this
Cowiian romance. For Miss Jane
Cowl's cne-time success has been
fashioned into one of the most adroit
and pleasant entertainments that the
cinema has devised. It is recom
mended to all those who do not
mind sentiment, and who do not
mind sitting in the midst of a vast
feminine audience and hearing the
sound of falling tears and a large
assortment of interesting sniffles.
Norma Shearer as Moonveen and
Kathleen, the dual heroines of this
tale of moonlight and rcses, is better
than she has been before—-which is
saying a good deal. And those two
admirable actors, Leslie Howard and
Frederic March, who do a certain
type of role twice as well as ony one
else, are splendid as her various
near-husbands.
The introduction of certain light
and bright dialogue by Donald Og
den Stewart is an important reason
for some of the choicest bits of this
film—since, then, the subsequent
sob sequences have something to
stand up against. However, every
fcot of it has merit, and there is no
reason why you shouldn’t go to see it
and enjoy it thoroughly—as every
one else has done. E. de S. M.

Douglas Fairbanks at Fox
In "Mr. Robinson Crusoe.”
'T'HE world's most famous cast
1 away might well envy the Inge
nuity of Douglas Fairbanks, reviver
of romantic characters, when he
undertakes, on
a desolate is
land of the Pa
cific, to create
a new "Mr.
Robinson Cru
soe.” It is shown
at the Pox The
ater. Like De
Foe's imaginary
seafaring man,
and like the
original of the
story, who has
been credited
with inspiring
an immor t a 1
classic, the
great "Doug.”
the friendly ac- Douglas Fairbanks,
tor of the films.
smiles his way through a story
which starts with all the advan
tages of the twentieth century, but
goes back to the primitive in order
that he may build a home in the
wilds. There Is a yacht, with
friends on board, which comes to
save him from misfortune, but while
the adventure lasts, he not only em
ploys a fertile mind in creating the
comforts of home, and a few trick
devices without which one of his
own products would be incomplete,
but he trains a parrot, a monkey,
and other living things to do his
bidding, and finds an unusual way
to create a radio receiving set which
offers unusual protection.
There is a "man Friday,” and as
a sea island story requires a femi
nine adjunct, the romantic young
woman whom he calls "Saturday" is
sufficiently attached to his tempo
rary fortunes to put his own life in
danger, when the wedding party,
from which she has escaped, sets
out to annihilate the supposed of
fender.
"Mr. Robinson Crusoe" may be
credited with revelation of a new
Douglas Fairbanks. He is less the
all-powerful person, employing the
athletic tricks of the past, and more
the man that theatergoers would
like to meet, because he is a na
tional character, with attractive per
sonal traits, an utter lack of self
consciousness, and an enthusiasm
of the moment in all that he un
dertakes. The use of the radio to
transmit the roar and truculence of
an American football game when he
is being attacked by savages is
merely one of the touches that mav
be credited to the star. The me
chanical devices by which he is
hurled aboard the yacht of his
friends to escape a tragic climax are
Fairbanks developments. His deli
cate way of escaping alliance with a
feminine representative of the
South Seas is one of the acting fea
tures of the play—a dramatic frag
ment which has emotional power.
This feminine role is taken by Maria
Alba, and while it Is only moderately
important, it furnishes a harmo
nious part of the picture. Friends
who share in the experiment are
cast with the famous William Far
num and Earle Browne.
Ted Healy and his Racketeers
provide the features of the stage
show at the Fox. It seems singular
that a group of talented perform
ers. with an excellent line of inci
dental examples of skill, should give
so much unnecessary attention to the
type of allusions that ought to be
segregated from first-class enter
tainment. The Duponts give an out
standing exhibition of Juggling in
unique form; Gracella and Theo
dore present song, dance and adagio
with dramatic setting, and the
Trado Twins have a musical offer
ing. Phil Lampkin and his orches
tra offer a Victor Herbert selection.

John Wayne at Columbia
In "Ride Him, Cowboy.”
'"THERE is something more than
time-honored melodrama in the
Western production "Ride Him, Cow
boy,” which is presented at the Co
lumbia Theater. John Wayne, fea
tured member of the cast, gives an
exhibition of riding on an unbroken
and bucking horse which is worthy
of a place in any rodeo, and a bit
of realistic fighting between the
hero of the story and the leader of
a group of highwaymen is impres
sively well done.
The leading member of the com
pany has an attractive personality,
which is above the average in West
ern drama, and is an excellent mo
tion picture type. Miss Ruth Hall,
who plays opposite him. also has
qualities which give force to the plot,
and the pair create an impression
furnishing a strong central Interest
in the development of a plot under
conditions in which the legal taking
of life appears to have a popular ap
peal.
An unknown outlaw has been ter
rorizing an entire neighborhood, and
has robbed many citizens of hard
earned cash. Mr. Wayne, as a
stranger from Texas, enters the
desert country, saves a spirited horse

“Kidnaping of Ruth Drake"
Opens at the Rialto.
“’T'HE Kidnaping of Ruth Drake"
Is the latest of the cinema
stories to take you backstage in a
columnist's life, and to show you
that it is a Broadway banterer who
is running this country and not the
Government. This film, which sup
posedly trots in and out of the White
House and makes Columnist Larry
Wayne iLew Ayres) one of the up
and-up heroes of this decade, has
somewhat the same theme that has
been current since "Blessed Event”
hit the boards—yet it also has fairly
exciting moments and an ending
which is surprisingly effective and
not what you expect.
The moral of it all is, as Rialto
audiences will tell you. that a col
umnist, like a gangster, gets his in
the end. Larry Wayne, whose words
of fire flung up in his daily column
bring gangsters, social celebrities
and crime agents to his desk, all in
a state of mental palpitation, is the
man. who, when the daughter of a
cabinet minister Is held for ransom,
gets ahead of all the other news
paper boys and ferrets out the kid
naper as well as the girl. In order
to do this, the valiant Wayne must,
however, have words with the Presi
dent. And this he does—surrounded
by the father and mother of the
Drake girl and talking unflinching
up and at the shadow of the head
of the Government.
Mr. Ayres, while obviously miscast
in the leading role, plavs'his part
nevertheless with likable sincerity,
which partly atones for his voutli
and for the way he tries to get his
underlip working like Richard Dix.
Although he seems somewhat puny
when aligned with some of the
gangster brethren and does not seem
like the sort of person who would
make this country cringe with his
witticisms—still, he is well directed
and is capablv assisted by a cast
which includes Walter Catlett in his

“Phantom President” Continues
At the Metropolitan.
Vy’ASHINOTON minds are so hos
’ pltable to the laughing prospects
of a presidential farce, that the
Metropolitan offers "The Phantom
President" for a second week. Ap
propriate selection of George M.
Cohan, famed for the manufacture
and display of characters that Invite
chuckles and other manifestations of
unadulterated glee, for the chief role,
or rather for the twin roles of the
play, offers an added Incentive to
view the film. Besides that, the bub
bling Jimmie Durante reaches the
high mark with his own brand of
soul-stirring patter, sometimes reach
ing the heights of soap-box oratory,
with the result that. In the national
home of politics, there Is much to be
appreciated in this local offering.
Mr. Cohan's singing is a reminder
that his song and dance days laid
the foundation of a distinguished
career in which his understanding of
the popular taste in light drama and
music was an important element.
“The Phantom President” also
profits by the participation of Claud
ette Colbert, who. while well quali
fied to engage in a romantic drama,
contents herself with the unusual re
quirements of political farce, and by
her quiet services In the cause of

type of the "yes-woman.”
" Mr. Cohan's task of creating two
men bearing a strong resemblance,
to each other, one of them a candi
date for President and the other a
usurper, who has been employed for
various duties by the real candidate.
Is one that Interests the theater
going public, and serves to display
his acting talents in a new combina
tion with two men of facial simi
larity but differing purposes. An ex

DON'T BE CONSTIPATED
Psyllium Seed is a most efficacious
specific for overcoming this annoying
and distressing condition and doesn’t
upset the system nor create a habit
But it is important that you should take
the L-A BRAND of PSYLLICM SEED
I CONCENTRATE. In the making of It
we discard practically all of the useless
shell, leaving only the active element.
Thus it takes TWO POI NDS of Psyllium
Seed to make one pound of L-A CON- j
CENTRATE—hut It is not only BEST
but CHEAPEST at
