And we've had all too few of them lately, due to the fact that just as soon as a comedian gets really good, he goes off and takes six months or so to make a slz-reeler. But anywuy the laugh lasts longer. By Edwin Scha licit Sometimes it isn't just the picture feature that matters, good as that may be.

It's the show. This doesn't happen often, as far as I'm 'concerned, but it did yesterday at Grauman's Metropolitan. They have three headlinera there in entertainment, and several excellent fillers in. The program all in al lis real nifty.

A refreshing Btudy of a rather old-fashioned theme- a widow's second romance, with tho children opposing. The story hasn't a wide meaning nowadays, because children have rather a hard time keeping up with their parents, and few women would allow themselves to grow gray around the temples with a happy marriage in sight at 38 years. In fact, I know very few women now that are gray around the temples at 38. If they found they were getting that way they'd Broadway at 9th MISSION "THE MAN FROM GLENGARRY And HAL ROACH'S New "OUR GANG" Comedy 1 exhibitors love to allude to as "visual opera."

I ID- know that at least the papers won't be seriously' stolen, nor any murder plots framed on the hero.

That alone is a relief. "Safety Last" opens with a good gag which fools the audience. The scene looks like a prison with a hanging bee about to be pulled off, but it turns out to be well never mind. It's good for a laugh and a gasp. Then there is the poor young man and his pal In his boarding house, and the scene, where they hang themselves up on pegs to look like old clothes when the landlady comes to collect her rent.

Some writer with a lot of nerve writes the story again, changing the poor neglected wife's name from Hope to Claire, or something, and a new cast of characters and a director who hasn't done anything like that for some time, do the rest. Invariably, the answer is that it doesn't pay to neglect your wife.

Even If you are a busy business man, slaving day and night to buy the sweet lady clothes and motor cars, you can't expect her to be satisfied with life if you break every engagement with her with the plea that "I've got to finish those plans tonight, "I've got to consult with the board of directors tonight," or "I've only got a minute.

"What Wives Want," at Tally's this week, is the latest of these pictures. It won't be the last, because the producers still think they are making a hit with the public. And it isn't the best, lit spite of the fact that it has a fine cast and a good director.

It takes mora than that to make a good picture. Just the same, it certainly is not the worst, Tes, "What Wives Want" is the old neglected-wife plot again. There are one or two sub-plots borrowed from other equally old and time-worn stories that may make parts of it seem new and novel. Ethel Grey Terry, Vernon Steele, Margaret Landis, and Nilea Welch, the highlights of the cast, look their parts. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to have very much enthusiasm for the roles, however, and Jack Conway, the director, couldn't pep them up.

There's a Century comedy on the bill at Tally's entitled "Fare Enough," that has one real laugh in it. Some of the situations are also rather amusing. Clune's Shows Denny in Jack i'li THFATFJ?

Naomi Childers plays the wife and mother excellently well, and the other characters live and breathe. There is no straining for comedy relief, by the way, but tho atmosphere of the theater is perfectly maintained, and the Hebrew manager of burlesque turned Shakespearean producer, is amusing.

Circus advertising wouldn't give you any idea of it at all, this trans-cendantly delightful picture, "Sue-cess," which crept unostentatiously Into town this week, opening at Loew'a yesterday. You see, it cannot be three-sheeted as having a million-dollar vamp star with those lustrous bedroom eyes, nor as having a hero that brings all the women to his feet, nor yet that it uses "tea thousand horses" or "a million extras." It wouldn't in fact fulfill George Randolph Chester's hero's idea of a "bigger and better" picture at all It Is merely s0 poignantly hu- fOTPTI ill stance.
