John Garden-sass play. But It'a done in such zippy fashion, with such brisk ao-tion, such excellent types, and has With Craufora Kent and Irena Boyle so many capital touches of Incidental and natural comedy, that the picture, which Is on view at Tally's JUANITA HANSEN in "THE LOST CITY Broadway, ranks really as one of the most entertaining which is offered this week. "Atmospherically 'The DeviTs Passkey' is miasmatic, it reeks with a crude and sordid cynicism. This may be Paris, but it is a Paris evolved from some hectic Creen-tich Village brain, a vision of 'modern life that must have been borrowed from the cheapest of the yelloW' backed novels manufactured by the French." NOW MAI MAI TIE BROADWAY The photoplay Is particularly Im portant as being the first one to be offered by the Associated Produc at last found a part Important en.ougn.for her splendid abilities as sn actress. In fact, if it had not been for the wonderful work of Miss Frederick, her sympathetic response to the efforts of ber director, "Madajne might have been hailed as a very fine photoplay, indeed, but not as the masterly production that it has become.

Her performance places her in the front rank of motion-picture actors. With nn unerring touch she plays upon the whole gamut of human emotions love, hate, end through it all runs the piercing human note of mother love, the love that is willing to sacrifice life itself for a son's happiness and honor. In this portrayal Miss Frederick Yises to heights of inspiration, ber artistry seems almost flawless. The story of "Madame needs no repeating here; you are all familiar with the tragic fats -of the woman who. misunderstood and spurned her cold-hearted and self-righteous husband, sinks, lower and lower, until, after twenty years, she finds herself on trial for murder, with her own son pleading her easel Could any human fate be more appalling? Its pathos is almost too keen for endurance, and few yesterday left th theater dry-syed.

It "gets'' even the professional critics, who, according to popular superstition, are hardened to immunity. It is good to report that Miss Frederick's support is excellent throughout, though the characters are numerous. As Raymond, the son, Casson Ferguson proves once more his capacity for restrained emotional acting. He Is boyishly simple and sincere, and his rendition of the courtroom speech Is as true as nature Itself. Fine work is done by Sidney Ainaworth as La-roque, by Maud Louis as Rose Dubois, by William Courtleigh as Lou If Florlot and particularly by Lionel Helmore and Willard Louis in the roles of those two arch-rascals, Parlssard ar.

The greatest monument that could be built to any man the privilege of living on after all else has gone Is what "The Skyway-man." showing at the Symphony this week, really. Is. Ormer Locklear In this respnet surpasses all other pioneers In any line Tils work will not only go down In words, to be studied and copied, but actual photographs of his feats oan at any time be reproduced.

What Is gone In the flesh will live on forevermore on the screen. Perhaps no more famous aviator than Ormor Locklear has ever lived. Certain it Is that none has gone to such a noble death. The first stunt that he originated that of changing planes in midair may have been copied and perhaps Improved upon by others, but the fact remains that he was the pioneer, the very first human being to try such a thing. And the way of the pioneer Is no bed of roses.

"The Skywayman" deals with a famous ace of the World War who loses his memory after a terrific battle over the enemy lines. Returning to his home, he falls to recognize his family and friends, and the story concerns the attempts to bring back his memory by means of various These shocks necessitate the thrills with which the picture Is crowded. Lieut, Locklear and his pilot, Milton Elliott, attempted a number of difficult stunts. Among them, the feat of boarding a moving train from an airplane and thei equally exciting chase after the bandits which ended in clipping the top off ar church steople with onr of the wings are the most ers, made up of slit of the most not ed directors in filmland.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES" AT CLUNE'S. "What Happened to Jones" really should have been named "WJiat Jones Happened To." For Jones happened to about everything and everybody In the whole blamed show.
