Bv United Press LONDON, Oct. 28.—Plans of James Marley, Laborite member of the house of commons, to bring the question of restrictions against Negroes in London before parliament were spurred today by a cable message from Robert Abbott, Negro editor of Chicago. Abbott informed Marley that he and his wife were barred from entertainments on the S. S. Aquitania while en route from England to New York. It was recalled that Abbott was refused accommodation in certain hotels while in London. The case of Paul Robeson, American Negro singer, barred from a restaurant here, where he had been invited by English friends, prompted Marley to announce last week that , r he would bring the question before parliament.

Bu United Press MOSCOW, Oct. 28.—The announcement published in the press that nine men. including two priests, had been sentenced to death for revolting against Soviet church and land legislation made it apparent today that the government was determined to wage merciless war * against the “class enemy.” Those sentenced to death Included one priest who opposed the closing of local churches in the town of Kimrt and three peasant profiteers and another priest, who agitated against the application of a new land distribution law in the town of Ivanovovozniesensk.

BARTHELMESS AGAIN IS THE WRONGED LAD ‘Young Nowheres’ Tells the Story of a Young Fellow Who Was an Elevator Boy in an Apartment House. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT seem? that Richard Barthelmess will never again find another “Tol’able David,” even in this day when talkers are the thing. Dick has another talker in “Young Nowheres” and he is cast as one of those wronged lads who never had a chance. Our hero this time ran an elevator in a large apartment house and slept in the basement. There he dreamed of romance and becoming a j great plumoer some day. Dick has never tasted any of the good things of life and when he fell in love with a swee tlittle servant girl in one of the apartments, he dreamed of having a Christmas tree and a Christmas Eve supper with
her in a fashionable apartment in the building where he was employed. So he gets a pass key and he and the girl throw an innocent party, but the owner returns, there is a
fight; Dick and the girl land in jail. The movie starts with the judge beginning to bear the case. Then all the facts of the rather sweet roromance in an apartment building is acted right out in public view. The story is not near as strong, even in overdrawn melodramatic sense as “Weary River.” “Young No-

where’s” comes under the head of innocent and mild entertainment. Sweetly acted by Barthelmess, who wanted to be a plumber. His sweetie this time is Marion Nixon, and she does a cute little job of it. In this day of the talkers if Barthelmess could find a story half as good as “Tol’able David,” he would have a winner. “Young Nowheres" will appeal mostly to those who are Barthelmess fans. Now at the Circle. tt n n THINKING OF TWO IMPORTANT JOHNS Right now it seems to me that John Gilbert is trying to be another John Barrymore. I got that impression again of the royal family idea in seeing Gilbert in “His
f * >
Glorious Night,” which was made into a talker from Molnar’s “Olympia.” “H is Glorious Nights,” trys to be a rather smart and wordlv satire upon a princess who dared to love a good looking peasant who dolls up in a nifty uniform. I did see this talker of’ Gilberts at a pri-
John Gilbert
va t e screening, but waited to get it with an audience. My chief reason was that there were so many conflicting reports on the merits of this first feature talker of Gilberts. Gilbert’s supporting cast was always more interesting than the story. Catherine Dale Owen is qgst as the princess, who knows, mentally at least, w’hat a hot kiss means, especially when the male has a naughty twinkle in his eye. Miss Owen makes a very charming and a wise princess who isn't so dumb and who was perfectly willing when caught into a rather compromising position when she flirts with Gilbert, to have a glorious night with him. The situations are not really naughty, but the double meaning is always suggested in conversation. And you will agree with me that Nance O’Neill is en artist in knowing just how iar to be smart and give you two meanings of everything she utters. Gilbert's talking voice is fairly good, but as usual it is his looks and his way that counts. Richard Carle appears as Count Albert. The story is weak, but Lionel Barrymore as the director does wonders in giving the story class and some elegance. Sets and lights are right. Now at Loew's Palace. an n “THE SATURDAY NIGHT KID” NOT SO GOOD, NOT SO BAD Clara Bow in her new picture “The Saturday Night Kid” showing at the Indiana this week, de velops anew side in her screen characterizations. Although we stii 1 find her hardboiled and peppy, we learn that she can also be meek and submissive. This new part in lie
is brought out in her dealings with her sister. She gives in to her in
everything, even including her sweetheart, and you know that is breaking all Bow traditions. The sister played by Jean Arthur, a little hypocrite of the worst kind, knows just how to work her big sis,, in every thing she wants to do, or wants to have. The male role, played by James
. ) ■ •• if V. ,
Clara Bow
Hall, is one of the dumbest parts ever dished out to him. He is a nice kid, all right, but so blind, and undecided. He just can not get next to himself. The picture itself is nothing to get excited over, the theme being worn out. This, find ’em, love ’em and leave ’em stuff, we have seen before. Still the picture has some entertaining moments, such as when Clara has her man in the closed department store, where they both work, helping her check over some goods. Clara decides she wants a kiss, and she gets a kiss, even if she does have to chase him all over the first floor. You know Clara, when it comes to something like this. But, when her sister suddenly decides she is going to have this male, Clara so unlike herself, stands back and lets her have him, like she lets her have everything else. Os course, little sister does not get him for keeps, for he finally wakes up from the dead, and goes back to big sis, but then only because he overhears the girls quarrelling over some money entrusted to Jean, and which she has lost gambling. Just fair entertainment. The stage presentation, “The Garden of Love,” is like the average presentation, with a few high spots, and the orchestra in the pit. The high spots might include the adagio dancers, and the Felicia Sorel Daisy Sextet. Those who like Harry Wiliford will enjoy to hear him sing and play trumpet, with the whole stage to himself. The orchestra directed by Ed Resener nresents a medley of songs about rain with a unique rain effect. This week at the Indiana until Friday. (By Connell Turpin.) STAGE FARCE BECOMES GLORIFIED MOVIE When you go to the Apollo this week, you will see “Gold Diggers of Broadway,” which is all done in natural color. “The Gold Diggers” was first done on the stage with Ina Clair in the leading role. When it became a talker its name was enlarged and lot of singing and dancing added. There are two in the cast that walk away with the honors. Am speaking of Winnie Lightner as Mable. one of the old diggers who uses slang and a lot of energy while she is digging gold from the pocketbooks of rich men. Here is a smart performance and one that will make the ten best performances of the month. Miss Lightner by her work in this movie has a real future on the talking screen. She was quite a person on the stage before landing on the talking screen. Nancy Welford does not seem to become a blood and fish Jerry, the chief of the gold diggers. She seems to me to be too Pollyanna. Sometimes her voice does not register too pleasantly. Next to Miss Lightner, Nick Lucas

The cast is as follows: Jerry Nancy Welford Stephen Lee Conway Tearle Mable Winnie Lightner Ann Collins Ann Pennington Eleanor Lilvan Tashman Wally William Bakewell Nick Nick Lucas Violet Helen Foster Blake Albert Gran Topsv Gertrude Short Stage Manager Neely Edwards Cissy Grav Juliep Swayne Gordon Dance Director Lee Moran Barney Barnett Armand Kaliz Then there is a large singing and dancing chorus that takes part in several stage scenes and make merry on the parties that the gold diggers drag their victims to. This movie has been beautifully photographed in color, intelligently directed and finely acted in most parts by a competent cast of players. Now at the Apollo. “Pleasure Bound,” with Aileen Stanley, Phil Baker and many others, open a week’s engagement at English’s tonight. The American Grand Opera Company will apear in “Faust” tonight at the Murat. Other theaters today offer: “Salute,” at the Lyric; “Kuddling Kuties.” at the Mutual; “The Dance of Life,” at the Ohio, and movies at the Colonial.
Verdict of the New Movies PALACE—The story of “His Glorious Night” isn’t so hot, but the audience seems to get some smart laughs out of this John Gilbert talker. CIRCLE—Just a mild story gives Dick Barthelmess a mild part in “Young Nowheres.” APOLLO—Nick Lucas and Winnie Lightner are the winners in “Gold Diggers of Broadway.” INDIANA—CIara Bow’s “The Saturday Night Kid” is not so good, not so bad.
