IMARIE IS THE QUEEN ANDHOWSHESTRUTS The Old-Timers, as Well as the Younger Ones, Make | Merry in a Very Fine Talker, ’The Hollywood Revue.' BY WALTER D. HICKMAN MARIE DRESSLER tells you in action, strut and words that she is the baby they call the queen. And how very “queenie” is our old friend Marie Dressier when she makes her regal entrance in the best of the movie revues so far, The Hollywood Revue.” Marie with her crown and long train declares that she has so much power that she can take any man from his wife and that by being a queen she doesn’t have to take a bath on Saturday night.
I guess that I am getting old when I select Marie Dressier, Polly Moran, Bessie Love, Gus Edwards. Charles King and Ukulele Ike out of a cast that includes Anita Page, Gwen Lee. Marion Davies, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer. John Gilbert, Karl Dane and George Ar-
thur, the Brox Sisters, Jack Benny, Conrad Nagel and others, as my favorites. Just like any stage revue this movie revue has its high spots, its beauty spots, its classy dancing spots and its hokum comedy spots. Some are better than others, but when the verdict is in you will agree that here is a wad of mighty fine

Marie Dressier
theater. Never before in my life have I seen so many stars in one movie production as in “The Hollywood Revue.” And many of the stars will surprise you in what they can do well in a song and dance revue. You know that Norma Shearer and John Gilbert can make lof r e, and that they are just too sweet for words in the balcony scene from ‘‘Romeo and Juliet.” At the close you hear the voice of Lionel Barrymore congratulating the stars, but he has bad ones. The New York magnets have decided to change the name of ‘‘Romeo and Juliet” to “The Necker,” and the dialogue must be modern. The settings and costumes the same. Then we hear Norma and John doing their love scene in the jazz language of the day. And what a wow it is. My favorites in this revue are as follows : First—Marie Dressier singing “I Am the Queen” with Polly Moran. Then in a comedy song number with Miss Moran and Bessie Love. Then all three in a travesty upon a well known number with Charlie King. Ukelele Ike and Gus Edwards. Second—The best song number that the screen has produced in these singing and talking days, “Singing in the Rain.” Wonderfully played by Clit Edwards on his ukc. Wonderfully danced by a chorus of real prancers. Wonderfully photographed and directed. It will be as popular as “Wedding of the Painted Dolls” in “The Broadway Melody.” Maybe more so. Third—The burlesque on classical dancing by Buster Keaton. Here is burlesque of the old days. A riot. Fourth —When Laurel and Hardy turn magicians. Here is hokum comedy that is hokum comedy. Great.
Fisth —When Conrad Nagel sings “You Were Meant for Me" with Anita Page right before Charlie King. And Conrad really sings it and how. Sixth—General high entertainment tone of the entire revue. The recording is splendid and the color photography as good as any we have had. I could go into more detail regarding “The Hollywood Revue.” It is just as grand and big as you have heard that it is. Os course you are going to see it and I think rave over it. Now on view at Loew’s Palace. a a a SOME THOUGHTS ON A BIG SUCCESS The legitimate stage for at lea.T one season raved over Hal Skelly in "Burlesque.” "Burlesque” has reached the talking screen under the title of “The Dance of Life.” with Skelly playing the role of the brainless hoofer. And Nancy Carroll plays the part of the girl who put ambition into
the head of the hoofer, only co sec him go goofy when fame gave him the big head. Then no more big time for this drunken, silly hoofer just back to the burlesque stage for him with his devoted write urging him on to a complete comeback. But you get the impress ion that the hoofer, al-
Hal Skelly
though a good human egg who tumbles. spoils and brakes, will stick in burlesque until the final curtain. The thing that gave me such a great feeling of satisfaction is that the people are buying this picture. They are wise to ‘'Burlesque” and Skelly. They know that it is a good show! Always has been and when I was at the Circle last night, people were standing up. waiting for seats. Give us the real article and we will buy it. This picture is the proof of the value of good stage shows reaching the talking screen. In this case. I believe that it was wise to change the name “Burlesque" because the stage play did cause some confusion. In Chicago, especially, some people confused the title with a certain brand of stage entertainment. “Burlesque” tells the back stage £tory of a male hoofer, a good guy to his pals and his own worse enemy, who rises from the ranks to the heights of Broadway. He loses his head only to be rescued by the girl, his wife, another burlesque tropper. The story has been nicely told of these troopers in ! burlesque. The scenes showing the gay ladies of the ensemble of a turkey burlesque show, are immense. Good for many laughs. And they look true to life. Skelly gices a splendid performance of the hoofer, always human.
His hoofing is splendid. The work of Miss Carroll reflects general improvement, especially in her spoken scenes. I am going to recommend “The Dance of Life.” It is human and I believe it will make us all a little more considerate of those behind the scenes. Now at the Circle. a an LOOKING OVER THE INDIANA I do not know when I have been so troubled as I was after seeing the movie version of “Paris Bound” playing at the Indiana this week. Faulty recording is the Waterloo of this picture. Asa stage show "Paris Bound” was a very successful and well liked play, but as a movie it does not seem to click and only because of the terrible recording. I can honestly say that there was one-fourth of the conversation that I did not
hear, which means it was almost like showing the picture silent without the records. The average person unless they have seen the stage play will not know what this picture is all about because of this. When there are several players on the screen, one can hardly associate the voices with the different

actors talking. I was never quite sure just who was talking in some of the scenes. The principal roles are played by Ann Harding and Frederick March. It was Ann Harding who played the title role in “The Trial of Mary Dugan” that made it such a big success on the stage not so long ago. Although Miss Harding is not quite at home just yet before the camera, she gives a very good performance, as does Frederic March. And I am sure it would have been much better had their voices been recorded correctly. The story very sophisticated in dialog and plot deals with a young married couple and their first years of married life. Infidelity and its complications is the main theme in this story of young love. Without a doubt this would have been a fine picture if better recording had been accomplished. The stage presentation presents Charlie Davis and his orchestra in "Honeymoon Cruise,” and brings Joe Penner here again. It is of my opinion that some bills are being repeated to often at the Indiana. Charlie also offers an arrangement of “Wabash Blues” which if I remember correctly was used several weeks ago. The stage show as a whole is not above the average. I might add that I like Harry Wiliford's version style of singing “Lonesome Road.” Other features include Dessa Byrd at the organ and Newsreel. All this week at the Indiana until Friday. (By the Observer.) “The Cock-Eyed World” is now in its second and final week at the Apollo. You know that I am wild about this one. Other theaters today offer: Clark and Smith at the Lyric; “The Bohemians” at the Mutual; “On With the Show at the Ohio and movies at the Colonial.

RUPTURE IS NUTATEAR NO BREAK TO HEAL > Rupture is not a tear, but purely a muscular weakness in the abdominal wall. Trusses merely brace these muscles but do not strengthen them—on the contrary, the gouging of the ordinary truss pad often increases this weakness as it tends to shut off circulation of the blood. STUART’S ADHESIF PLAPAO-PADS are entirely different—being mechanicochemico applicators—made self-adhesive purposely to keep the muscle-tonic called "Plapao” continuously applied to the affected parts, and to minimize danger of slipping and painful friction. The adhesive fabric is soft as velvet and clings to the body withont straps, fonckles or springs. Easy to apply—comfortable inexpensive. Awarded Gold Medal, Rome, Grand Prix, Paris, Honorable Mention, Panama Pacific Exposition, San Francisco, etc. For almostaquartercentury stacks of sworn testimonials from many different countries report success—without delay from work. The epidermatic absorption of Plapao utilizing “mechanico-chemico therapy” tends toward a natural process of recovery, after whfcb no further use lor a truss.
