Picture Makes 'Nice People Appear Rotters , Says Critic By WALTER D. HICK HAN Dad attempts to put the “brakes” on his flapper daughter. What happens the bigger part of the story of “Nice People.” The “nice people” in this play are not “rotters,” but they are mighty close
to it. The daughters of the “nice people” we meet jn this movie are those wi® burn the candle at both ends. They travel at the rate of ninety miles an hour. The daughters of "nice people” smoke cigarettes by the dozen (inhale ’em too) and at least one puffs at a pipe. The men in this set probably wear kimonos at home, but the nearest thrill we get from them is when they go to sleep in their dress suits. The greatest aim of the sons and daughters of these “nice people” seems to be the ability to escape anything which looks like work. One of these “nice daughters” becomes illuminated on the contents of the hip flask of her hefiapper escort. Daughter declares a “strike” against tyranny of dad and mother and so she motors to a country home—one of those drop-in places that the rich have. Daughter and her friend are there alone. A rain storm arrives and the he-flapper forgets that he was intended to be a gentleman. Just about that time, a stranger arrives in the storm. He keeps
‘GUARD'FEARFUL IF 111 Pill IN PEIMI Movement on to Nominate Burke for U. S. Senate Against Reed. By C. C. LYOS. Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.—The Republican old guard now has something else to worry about. It concerns a third party movement in Pennsylvania this fall. They see in it the possibility of the loss of two United States Senators as well as their State ticket. Congressman-at-Large William J. Burke of Pittsburgh is the choice of thousands of independent Republicans of Pennsylvania to lead a fight against the big-business-boss-controlled G. O. P. machine. Delegations representing farmers, business men and industrial workers have been in Washington urgVg him to assume the leadership. They want him to seek the United States Senatorship, preferably in opposition to David A. Reed, appointed by Governor Sproul to fill the unexpired term of the later Senator Crow. Reed Easier to Beat They figure Reed will be easier to beat than Senator Pepper. Reed's close and confidential connections with the giant “Mellon interests” are certain to cost him tens of thousands of votes, they say. The miners of western Pennsylvania, where the demand for Burgee originates, hold the Mellons largely responsible for the long deadlock in the coal strike. ' The first day Reed was in the Senate he voted for exorbitant duties on aluminum, which will chiefly benefit the “aluminum trust,” also controlled i by the Mellons. Miners Are Resentful The miners likewise are resentful of the action of Governor Sproul in sending troops into the bituminous coal fields. Burke is a former railroad conductor and has been prominently identified with organized labor for more than thirty years. He is serving his second term in Congress. MINES NEAR NORMAL Cars Sufficient to Move Output of Coal in State Fields. By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. Aug. 28. Indiana coal mines reached ninety per cent normal capacity today, according to reports to District 11 headquarters of the miners. In the Terre Haute district production was about ninety-four per cent normal. go far there has been ample cars. INSTITUTE PLANNED Madison County Teachers Will Meet Next Week.

watch on the dress suit friend of the girl. Everything is strictly moral, but everything looks bad. Then the gracious “nice people” make an outcast of the girl, but not of the he-flapper. The girl stays on the farm and tries to master the art of farming. She shows her ignorance when she insists that a rooster “hatch” a batch of eggs. It Is then that Wallace Reid, the stranger of the storm, tells the girl that there “are no effeminate men *n the poultry family.” In the end, the “nice daughter” learns her lesson and she marries t’. stranger of the storm. On the stage, “Nice People” caused considerable flutter. It has been made Into a movie under the Paramount banner. Wallace Reid is the stranger of the storm, Conrad Nagel Is the heflapper and Bebe Daniels is the girl who went on a strike against the tyranny of a wealthy father. Th story is of thin texture, but the movie director has put some backbone and delicious satire into it. It has been wonderfully mounted. I can assure you that you will have no time to slumber while witnessing the “carryings on" of the “nice people.” I am glad that I work for my three meals a day. At the Ohio all week. , -I- I- IConcerning ‘The Masquerader" I consider the movie version of “The Masquerader,” with Guy Bates Post, now on view as Bing of the Circle’s sixth anniversary jt®r entertainment , ’ Ixn miles ihead of \ the Stage When it comes to present- ! “The MasqueradGUY BATES POST er ” Th ' ! stae version vas mechanical at times because tho stage is limited in attempting to have an audience see the same actor in two different places at the same tlmo. Not so with the screen. Post, as Chilcote. talks and touches himself as Loder. The same Mr. Post, In two characterizations, is present on the screen at the same time. This movie marks the debut of Mr. Post as a screen actor, and he makes i the jump with perfect safety, because he is a good actor. Otis Skinner and George Arliss had no trouble tn making the jump from the stage to the screen, but I could name several dozen of them who fell in midair. You will see the same Loder and the same Chilcote on the screen as you saw on the stage, as Mr. Post does not vary In his characterization. That’s the test of a real actor. A characterization to be great must always be the same. In other words, it must be complete when bom. There are only a few super-master-ful characterizations on the stage and the screen today, and the dual work of Mr. Post In ‘“The Masquerader” belongs to that limited class. His support is excellent, especially the work of Ruth Sinclair as Eve, the wife of the member of parliament, and the work of Edward M. Kimball as Brock, the servant to Chilcote. Others In the cast include Herbert Standing, Lawson Butt, Marcia Marion, Barbara Tennant and Kenneth Gibson. The entire cast has been wisely chosen. I am going this far in my verdict on “Tho Masquerader”—l believe that it is the best dramatic production filmed sc far. Remember, I am speaking of strictly dramatic productions. There Is dignity and polish to “The Masquerader” that makes it the unquestioned leader in Its class of entertainment. The anniversary bill at the Circle

in addition to the Post movie, consists of music by a thirty-five piece orchestra: Miss Gertrude Morgan, premiere danseuse; Pathe Review; organ recital, and a presentation of the prologue from “Pagliacci.” -I- -I- -IHow a Policeman Should Act. We found one boy who made good use of a higher education and proved to his father that his time was not wasted hi “In the Name of the Law,” the current attraction at the Apollo. It is natural for every mother to want her son educated and to make sacrifices for him and it was the naturalness of the picture that we, liked. The only unnatural thing in the picture is the husband and father, a policeman, and we liked him. Here at least is one ideal policeman. The old saying, "trouble comes in bunches,” is true in this picture. The boy, who is sent to college, is accused of steal.ng, the mother displeases her husband by drawing out the savings they had on their home, an adopted sister borrows money from the banker, who employs her, and the policeman’s son, who also work* in the bank, thinks she had stolen the money. He goes to the bank that night to replace the money and while there Is shot by his father, who was there in answer to an alarm that the bank was being robbed. The college boy is cleared and the big scene comes when he appears as attorney for his brother, who had recovered from the shot. He wins his first case and everything is cleared up nicely. _ ( There a pretty, romantic end-

It is a typical western picture with Franklyn Farnum in the leading role, which deals with a mysterious cowboy known as "Silent” Frayne, who is heir to a fortune on condition that he 'has never committed a crime. Frayne had saved the life of the raneh owner, the role played by Farnum, and has his support in the fight against the people who are trying to get the fortune.

Other Observations “THE YOUNG DIANA”—This is another attempt to adopt a Marie Corelli story to the screen. This writer often has wild ideas and she has them a hundred per cent here. She causes Diana at first to be transformed into an old maid and then causes a crazy scientist to discover something which makes her more beautiful. The fortunate thing is that all of these strange things happen in a dream. It has been staged on a lavish and expensive scale. It gives Marion Davies no chance to act except as an old maid, but she does have a grand opportunity to wear some dazzling gowns. At the Colonial.
