m. and 1:45, 3:50, 5:55 and "BLOOD MONEY" Loew's Palace. George Bancroft's return to the screen in "Blood Money," the photo play at Loew's Palace for the week, is not very auspicious. Mr. Ban croft, to be sure, has not retro gressed, but his studio has given him a mediocre film in which to appear.

The story, indeed, "rides off in all directions," as Stephen Lea- cock said about one of the heroes of his stories. Its energies are so scattered, and there are so many loose ends left dangling in midair at the close of the picture, that one is a bit uncertain what it has all been about. The fault must lie in the story, for the cast is a good one. Judith An derson, who must be surprised to find herself playing the role of owner of an underworld cabaret, plays with the same finesse she made known on the stage. Frances Dee, who must be even more surprised to find herself playing the role of an ex tremely abnormal Woman who likes to be treated roughly a masochist, if there ever was one makes her strange, almost revolting, part interesting.

The others are compe tent. Hie story revolves about one, Bill Bailey, former policeman, who makes a living providing bonds for criminals. He is intermittently at tentive to Ruby (Miss Anderson), whose brother, Drury (Chick Chandler), is a thief. He becomes Infatuated with Elaine Talbert (Miss Dee), a young society girl who wishes to know every one in the underworld, who uses Bill as a means to get acquainted with them. who falls in love with Drury, who double-crosses Bill in order, as she thinks, to save Drury from prison, and who, in the end, leaves Drury for an artist who beats his models.

Bill, in the end, returns to Ruby, who learns that Elaine has double-crossed him, who loves him, in spite of his casual treatment of her, and who saves him from death. The film ends with their reconciliation, but with no attempt to explain what has happened to the other major characters. A travelogue, a third showing of "Three Little Pigs," a Charley Chase comedy and a news reeL W. W. "MYRT AND MARGE" and VAUDEVILLE Lyric.

Radio listeners who have enjoyed the programs of Myrt and Marge may see these two women on the screen at the Lyric this week, where they are featured In a photoplay, "Myrt and Marge." In their supporting cast are Eddie Foy, Ted Healy and his stooges," Trixie Friganza. J. Far- rell MacDonald and others perhaps less familiar. The film, which tells, once more, the activities needful to present a revue on Broadway, may disappoint the radio stars' admirers, for it was evidently produced in a -1 A very snort ume, ana, as a conse quence, runs none too smoothly. Reynor Lehr, who spent a good many weeks at the Lyric last sum mer, is back this week, with his two stooges, a young woman and the young colored dancer who aroused much enthusiasm with his dancing.

His dancing is the brightest spot of the whole vaudeville bill. It is extraordinary dancing, as a matter of record. Lehr dances briefly, too, wisecracks and acts mainly as guide to his assistants. His two stooges are amusing. The young woman sings and dances.

"AS HUSBANDS COVApollo. Rachel Crothers' skeptical com raent on American wives who think European men more cultured and generally more desirable than American men, a comment made in a play called "As Husbanda Go," has found Its way to the screen. It is featured at the Apollo this week, with Warner Baxter, Helen Vinson, Warner Oland, Catharine Doucet and G. P. Huntley, heading the cast.

Miss Crothers has always known what she Is about when writing for the stage. The movie scenarist has left her comedy almost unchanged. The humor Is pointed and droll. The characterization is excellent. The story is plausible.

The acting is first-rate. The film, in other words, offers good entertainment. The story begins in Paris, where Lucile Lingard (Miss Vinson) and Emmie Sykes (Miss Doucet) are spending the summer. Lucile 13 fascinated by Ronald Derbyshire (Huntley), an English author, and Emmie Is In love with Hippolitus Lomi (Oland), a cosmopolitan. Each dreads returning to Dubuque, la where life, after the charm of Paris, seems dull.

They do return, however: Lucile to her husband (Baxter), and Emmie to her obstreperous and outspoken daughter (Eleanor Lynn). Emmie brlng3 "Hippie" with her. Ronny Is to ollov, first giving Lucile a chance to tell her husband that she is in love with another man. The husband is less of a boor than he seemed to be, when Lucile was in Paris. He may not make pretty speeches, but he is reliable and dread fully In love.

Lucile has not the courage to tell him she wants a divorce. She is In a predicament, and Emmie, who Is rattle-brained, does nothing to help her. Ronnie appears, and before long realizes the situation. So does Lingard. Ronnie is not a cad, and goes home.

Lingard Is a gentleman, and says nothing. Lucile finally wakes up. As for Emmie, she marries "Hippie" in of all her daughter's objections. To Miss Vinson Is at last given full opportunity to disclose her talent, and she rises to the occasion admirably. Baxter, too, Is Every one in the cast, indeed, deserves a note of commendation.

J. Blunkalh Ran In London. "Ten Minute Alibi" was written by Anthony Armstrong', English play-wnghtand had a successful run in London prior to its New York engagement. It is an unusual type of murder mystery in which the secret of a homicide is successfully concealed from the police, but not from the audience. There is far more romance than mystery in the story, but jeeiting suspense is sustained by the efforts of the police to trap a killer who wins the audience's sympathy.
