“The Tiger’s Claw.”
A young engineer engaged on
an Important project In India;
plot of the disgruntled natives to
exterminate all whites; daughter
of the leader of the schemers at
tracted to the foreigner; gradual
recession on his part from his
accustomed standards of living
until utter degradation is reached;
then the hard, slow pull back to
self-respect, position and power.
Such are the principal “dra
matic commodities** composing
“The Tiger’s Claw,” foremost fea
ture of the bill arranged for the
first three days of the current
week at Crandall’s Theater. It
is perfect material to bring out
the full scope of Jack Holt’s no
table talents. It also serves as
a fine medium of expression for
Eva Novak, Aileen Pringle, Ber
tram Grassby, Carl Stockdale, cast
in his familiar role of arch-villain,
Robert Cain and numerous others
who add to the balance and dis
tinction of an unusual ensemble.
The production is one that re
flects marked credit upon the dis
cernment and thoroughness of
Paramount and the photography
is such as to create and maintain
an effective Indian atmosphere,
with its undercurrent of mysti
cism and sinister treachery
The comedy element is brought
to the bill in abundance by Neal
Burns and Viora Daniels in “A
Pair of Sexes,” a new Christie
merrymaker in which twins play
a prominent part in creating the
storms of laughter. The Christie
comedies are uniformly free from
objectionable slapstick stuff and

Failure of Divorce Told
On Columbia Screen
“Divorce," the featured film at
Loew’s Columbia this week, can
be immediately classified as
standard summer film entertain
ment of no startling quality, but
entirely worth-while irom thd
amusement angle. To waste heap
ing hyperbole upon it would re
sult only in a paqcity of adjec
tives when the true theatrical sea
son begins and some of the long
expected and eagerly anticipated
super-photoplays arrive. Yet “Di
vorce” does not deserve damning
through faint praise. The only
open course is the middle one—
that of placing the film in its
proper category and so labeling
it —fine summer entertainment,
but nothing exceptional.
After all, no producing com
pany can be expected to turn out a
prigram consisting entirely of su
perfeatures. There are bound to b e
sandwiched in between those films
of extraordinary power a few
which fall to rise to uite such
take the form of brisk farces in
which the fun is occasioned by a
succession of carefully developed
situations.
The bill for the early-week is
completed by varied features of
short-reel length and rounded out
by tuneful pipe organ accompani
ment and interludes.
heights. Through lack of a better
term, the latter type of cinema is
dubbed “program-picture.” As
such, and so classified, “Divorce”
should be rated among the best.
In point of cast, photography and
continuity it is excellent. The
tale Itself—while interest. in
the extreme—tends to point a
moral very much at vai.ance
with the accepted theories of life.
Success does not Invariably bring
unhappiness; nor is perfect con
tent necessarily achieved by mod
est surroundings and a financial
position far removed from afflu
ent. In this, one differs with the
thesis set forth in “Divorce."
Jane Novak and John Bowers
have the leads in the film, and
both turn in work that reacts to
their credit. Phillippe De Lacey,
the little boy who plays the role
of the son of the above-named
pair, is as personable a youngster
as can be found on the screen to
day. James Corrigan, Edyth
Chapman, Thomas McGuire, Free
man Wood, George Fisher and
Margaret Livingstone round out
the cast.
A funny Ben Turpin' comedy
entitled “Where is My Wander
ing Boy This Evening,” a roving
Thomas scenic, International
News and orchestral number con
stitute the secondary part of the

KATHERINE IN
HOME DRAMA
AT METRO
“Money, Money, Money,”
Gives American Beanty
Fine Role in Film.
A three-ringed circus partakes
of only a little more diversity
than characterizes the excellent
summer bill at Crandall’s Metro
politan Theater this week. There
was something for every taste
represented in yesterday’s crowds.
Katherine MacDonald, revealed a
new facet of her clear-cut screen
art as Priscilla Hobbs, social clim
ber, who learned a lesson, in First
National’s breezy production of
“Money, Money, Money,” a new
film tale by Larry Evans.
Larry Semon, agile acrobat and
buoyant buffoon, introduced a
new leading woman in the person
of Kathlyn Meyers, a brisk young
blonde, who added zest to much
of the cyclonic action of “The
Barnyard.” The Metropolitan
World Survey embodied a long
footage of the Shelby fight pic
tures without any of the actual
fisticuffs. in which Mr. Dempsey
and Mr. Gibbons disported them
selves and a large number of
beautifully photographed natural
color studies. To run the meas
ure over, Lyman H. Howe’s
“Shooting the Earth” a world tour
with a camera, interspersed with
animated cartoon novelties, was
shown.
The musical program arranged
by Daniel Breeskin, conductor of
the Metropolitan Symphony of
thirty, is. entitled to a paragraph
of Its own. The major number of
the miniature recital consists of
Tobani’s “Creme De La Creme”’
overture, comprised of five of the
world’s masterpieces of melody.
The request number is “A Per
fect Day," entranclngly played by
the muted orchestra with the
string family dominant.
“Money, Money, Money," is a
clever camera treatment of both
sides of the money question as it
pertains to domestic happiness
and contentment. Two families
are made the medium of unfolding
a narrative of social aspirants and
society snobs, rich in humor, fra
grant with pastoral romance and
powerful in Its dramatic climax.
Miss MacDonald appears to good
advantage and Carl Stockdale is
a revelation as Hobbs. His per
formance is flawless. Charles
Clary, Jack Dougherty, a new
leading man; Brenda Fowler, Her
shell Mayall and Margaret Loomis
round out a well-balanced cast.
“The Barnyard" not only makes
capital of every funny thing that
can happen in the country, but
also produces a few real thrills in
its depiction of a farmhand’s at
tempt to thwart the vicious
schemes of a band of oil sharks.
Mr. Semon is the farmhand.
PULL OF FATE
THEME AT
PALACE
Many old screen favorites re
turn to the silver sheet in “The
Fog” at Loew’s Palace this week.
Mildred Harris, of the winsome,
frail flower-Uke beauty, once more
graces the twb-dimensional drama
that has for some time been
without her attractive person
ality. Ralph Lewis, veteran
'screen star, whose Stoneman of
Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation”
will ever be remembered in mo
tion picture annals, and Edward
Phillips—last seen here as the
debonair, suave juvenile villain of
"•The Nth Commandment”—these
and many others are included in
the capable cast that made “The
Fog.”
The picture is standard sum
mer screen fare, telling a story
quite natural and human, have,
perhaps, in the finale laid in the
Russian war zone. Miss Harris,
to whom Is entrusted the most
important feminine role, shows
decided improvement over her
work of the past; but Cullen
Landis, opposite her In many in
stances, walks off with the main
honors.
Landis has lately shown a ten
dency toward the fulfilment of
his earlier bright promise as a
clnematlst. His characterization
of Nathan Forge is a studious
and well-thought-out piece of
showmanship.
Frank Currier in a character
bit is quite convincing and ap
pealing. Too, there are Marjorie
Prevost, David Butler, Ann May,
Louise Fazenda, Louise Dresser
and Ethel Wales. The latter
three contribute more than a
little toward the success of the
picture.
The continuity is well defined
and marred by no apparent
flaws; the photography is top
notch—especially some really fine
cloudy close-ups of Miss Harris;
and the settings are without ex
ception harmonious and well
chosen.
Embellishments Include a Rov
ing Thomas scenic, an Aesop car
toon fable that is extremely
funny, and a Pathe Newsreel.

IN FILM AT
CENTRAL
“Mary of the Movies,” which
yesterday attracted many to Cran
dall’s Central Theater upon the oc
casion of its Washington pre
miere, is a picture that affords a
novel and intensely interesting
combination of Hollywood’s motion
picture colony at work and “off
the sets."
The story Is based on a beau
tiful young girl’s ambition to de
part from the cramped Arizona
town of her birth to achieve fame
as a screen star in Los Angeles
and contiguous territory.
Immediately upon arriving in
Los Angeles Mary begins to meet
celebrities who take an interest
in her. Bryant Washburn she mis
takes for the driver of the bus to
Hollywood; they pass Anita Stew
art on her way to work, and at
the Hollywood Hotel are greeted
on the steps by David Butler,
Louise Fazenda, Alec Francis and
numerous others.

hundreds of excursionists, who
found the bathing delightful.
Many took trips out on the bay
in canoes, rowboats, sailboats, and
launches, which may be hired at
reasonable rates. Still others, in
quest* of real thrills, rode over
the bay in the Beach seaplanes.
The boardwalk was a gay sight
with its pretty girls, its alluring
amusements, its open-air dancing
pavilion. Ralph Garren’s “melody

jazz. The derby racer took merry
crowds on wild dashes over the

The picnic grounds were thronged
with auto parties.
North Beach, the summer col

indifferent. It is seldom that
any story merits a return, and
fewer yet are worth remembering.
When one does see a "comwbeck"
picture as vivid and as entertain,
ing as Rex Beach’s “The Spoil
ers,” which opened at the Rialto
yesterday, it 1s realised that to
repeat, a story must have excep
tional possibilities.
And, Indeed, one would venture
to say that one of Mr. Beach’s '
most popular works Is “The
Spoilers,” the glorious tale of the
gold rush, as realistic. portrayal
of life in tho frozen boundaries
of Alaska, where men were law
unto themselves. It will be re
called that some years agw "The
Spoilers” was adapted to the
screen and proved a triumph.
This new version, with all the ad
vantages of modern photography,
promises to be even a greater
success.
. "The Spoilers” has suffered
little at the hands of the director.
If anything Its attractiveness has
been enhanced. The character
istic, and one is almost tempted
to say produceristic, modifications
to screen requirements sometimes
sadly detract from the vividness
of a story. Not so wflth "The
Spoilers."
One of the most attractive fea
tures of this production is Its
notable cast which brings Iffitoa
Sills as Rol Glenister, the hero;
Barbara Bedford as Helen Ches
ter, the heroine, and Anna Q.
Nilsson as Cherry Melotte, a prod
duct of the dance halls. Among
others are Noah Beery, Robertson
Bdeson, Mitchell Lewis, Sam de
Grasse, and many others of
screen prominence.
The management of the theater
has added a worthwhile and
thoroughly Interesting minor pro
gram. The comedy, "Tail Lights,”
is a laugh from start to finish.
The orchestral renditions under
the direction of Director George
Wilde Is up to the usual high
standard.—W. S. P., Jr.
