There were l.bersi reward of laughter and applause for both the play and players. After the atoond act there were imperative calls lor the author, but Mr Cohan was not in the bouse, at least, so stated Grant Mitchell in a brief speech of thanks from the stage.

Though called "a play with music is a successful combination of musical comedy, comedy with music, melodrama unadorned even by the faintest veil of melody, and choral singing of an unusually high order. It combines too both the spectacular and the dramatic, as it unfolds its story of a wartime romance.

For "Half a Widow has indeed a ture it is worthy of comparison with of AMAZING. FILM AT METROPOLITAN Emil Tannings Scores Again in Till Way cf All Flesh, a Picture cfRare Appeal "The Way of All Flesh," the picture at the Metropolitan Theatre this week, is one of the most amazing pictures ever shown in Boston. Not only Is it a splendid piece of photography, with a highly skillful cast, but the film shows how cleverly American producers have learned to adopt and take over the best that European producers have to offer. In is an American-made picture, depicting life in the German colony of an American city, yet the foreign flavor is extremely Emil Jan-nings, the star, does a characterization which is fully as subtle and as artistic as any which he did while working for U. F.

which indicates that "The Way of All Flesh would be worth seeing if there was nothing else besides Jennings in the cast to recommend it. There is little that wan be said for Jannings which has not already been printed. He is a finished artist and actor, and he does his usual marvelously fine work as August Schilling, the bead of a respectable home, who goes wrong and ruins his whole life through the fascination of a pair of silk-clad ankles. The opening scenes of the picture show Jannings as the mild autocrat in his home. He has six children whom he adores, the position of cashier in an Important bank and a standing for rectitude and mercy in his community.

The scenes follow one after another, bulidng up the Impression of Schilling as a corner stone of righteousness and respectability. His wife, a role admirably played by Belle Bennett, believes that no one in the world is quite no powerful and good as her August. But when this head of the family goes to Chicago to sell some bonds for his bank he is beset by temptation. A pretty adventuress (and Phyllis Haver in the part shows that she is one of the best actresses in Hollywood) proceeds to lure him astray. Like Samson he seems to lose his strength when his beard Is gone.

He is only a pathetic pounder, and one feels has only paid a just debt for his foolishness when he discovers the bonds entrusted to his care are stolen. With the loss of the bonds Schilling realizes that life holds nothing more for him. He lives in Chicago, a pathetic man, old before his time, who sells chestnuts in Winter and is a caretaker in Summer. There is a final scene showing the old man hovering about the home where he once knew happiness, and then he goes out into the snowy streets, realizing what he has missed, but happy to see that his family still hold him in reverence.

Bidmy la "LOST AT THE FRONT Smart Vaudeville Stirring adventures on the Western Plains in the early 70s and thrilling battles with merciless Indians are oic-tured with gripping realism in "The Bugle Call, the new picture In which young Jackie Coogan plays the star role. Jackie portrays a motherless boy, reared among rough frontiersmen and without the feminine sympathy so craved by a child. It is a vivid, n-vincingly human and irresistibly appealing impersonation, both heroic and pathetic.

The young player has done nothing better. The Bugle Call must be granted high rank among Western picture plavs and is -a triumph for which Metro-Gold en-Mayer may well be proud. With scenes laid on the American frontier in the 70s, whfn the cavalry carved a path for Western settlers through the Indian country, it tells the story of an orphaned child of a frontier cavalry captain, and of the problem he faced when a stepmother came to usurp the place in his heart occupied by his mothers memory. The various characters axe admirably pictured, especially that by Claire Windsor of the stepmother. Memorable also is that of the father and calvary captain contributed by Herbert Rawlinson.

In addition to "The Bugle Call there is an excellent stage bill at the State this week. The songs by Beth Callls and the orchestra under the direction of Jan Garber were warmly applauded yesterday. MARION SUNSHINE IN A KEITH FEATURE Spectacular ii probably the word that fits best In describing the offering of Countess Sonia, a Russian artist, who is appearing at Keiths Theatre this week, presenting a series of scenes that include a stage conception of the Inferno. It is not in accord with the usual notions of Hades, inasmuch as everybody appears to be having a good time, unmindful of flames and grinning devils. There is a novel dancing interlude, with a group of "wooden soldiers impressing as one of the nearest imitations yet of the toy variety.

Alex Sherer combines in feature work in this act with the principal- Markm Sunshine is one of the headliners. Her partner is a tailor, one would suppose from his costume, but somehow the impression is gained, that he is chiefly a comedian. Anyway, he is a breezy entertainer and Marion provides the zest that makes the act go over big. William Kent in his own comedy, "Shivers, Eoores another success. One wonders where he got his inspiration in these barren day's, but suffice it to say, he ha it.

A woman in one of the hexes suggests a finish for the act which he adopts. It seems a bit tragic, but he recovers. One has heard of wild, wild women, but not one of the whole lot ps wilder than Jean Boydell merely for the purpose of entertainment, let it be understood. She starts the big laughs of the bill. In chatter, grimace and gesture, she is unique.

The surrounding numbers include Carr Brothers and Betty, mostly in acrobatic work; Chris Richards, eccentric comedian Frank Marino and Tony Martin, amusing in "The Letter From Peetsa-Burg, and Herb La rimer and Marion Hudson in a bicycle riding thriller. Lancaster Theatre At the Lancaster Theatre todays pictures will include "The Bat and "Sally, Irene and Mary. "Ten Modern Commandments and "Metropolis will be shown later id the week. TRIP TO EUROPE GIVEN AS PRIZE TO A. SIMONS A.

Simons took charge of the New England zone of the United Cigar Stores Company of America on Jan 1, and on March the company put on a v'yvv Iv 1 A AS- A. SIMONS. Head of New England Zone. United Cirar Stores Company ol America pipe contest for five months, for the entire United States, comprising 17 zones and embracing approximately 3000 stores. The rrize ln this contest for the first two winners making the best showing qn their sales cf pipes for the five months period was a trip to Europe.

This was won by Mr Sirtrons. The Atlanta zone, which comprises the Southern stores, was the first winner. Mr Simons came from Philadelphia to Boston. The Philadelphia zone won the similar contest last year. Mr Simons feels he was ably assisted by every store manager in the zone and especially by the district managers W.

J. Steichilber, Boston; J. C. Schoeman, Providence; C. C.

Davis, Hartford, and S. J. Hilly, Albany. By the New Engind zone winning this contest, one district manager. J.

C. Schoeman wins a trip to California. Mr Simons feels the results indicate that New England is not slipping as far as general business is concerned and that this is a forecast of better business, as the New England zona is showing a steady increase in business right along. Mr Simons plans to sail early in September for a visit to England aud ihe Continent, returning the latter part of October. MARSHFIELD FAVORS NEW WATER SYSTEM MARSHFIELD, Aug 15 The matter of a town water system, which has been hanging fire here for more than six years was settled tonight, when the citizens, by vote of S57 to IS.

assumed the burden of expending $590,000 in providing the town with an adequate water supply. The vote was taken at a special town meeting. During the past few months the boring of wells was undertaken and it is now believed these wells, 25 or more in number, will provide an adequate supply. Many of the wells are in South Marshfield. Under the vote ihe money appropriated will be used in supplying the town with water and ln acquiring (he franchises and properties of private water companies operating here.

The first article of the warrant called for the acceptance of the provisions of the State Legislature permitting the town to borrow the money necessary to carry on the project. Th second article called for the appropriation of $600,090 and the third with the acquiring of the land where the new wells are located.

Hal-f red Young proved to be in excellent voice. Duets between Miss Lang and Young are scattered plentifully through the piece, and are especially remembered.

Of course, many of the situations are developed from improbable coincidences. but they necessarily are in farce. All that we can ask is that the illogical be made ta seem logical and believably human. This has been admirably done in Mr Cohans very human and enjoyable farce.

The first two acts are better than the third, as is almost always true of plays of this kind, but interest is maintained through the rather too prolonged last act and the "happy ending is adequately in suspense until the final curtain. The baby cyclone of the play is a Pekingese pup. a mere handf ul of dog. but it well deserves its title, for it comes dangerously near wrecking the happiness of two married couples and of another couple about to be married.

It is revealed that the of the quarrel was the wifes indignation over the husbands heartless cruelty in losing her pet Pekingese. As a matter of fact, the husband had sold the dog to a young woman who had promised to give it a good home. It happens that the purchaser was the girl whom Meadows is soon to marry.

She brings the dog to Meadows home where it is found by the distraught wife and promptly carried off. From then on the oomplica.tions concerned with the effects of the two young women to gain possession of tlie pup. and of the no less strenuous eu-deavers of the two men to get rid of it. To tell the story in further detail would be unfair to those who will later see the play. Grant Mitchell plays the role of the well meaning but sadly blundering Mr Meadows with all the geniality and delightful plausibility that have made his impersonations here in the past so memorably enjoyable.

No less excellent is the honest sincerity of Spencer Tracy the sorely stressed husband. It is an admirable impersonation, singularly suggestive of George M. Cohan himself. Joseph Allen portrays a wise New Tork "cop in a manner that makes the audience fslrly roar with laughter. Finished bit of characterization are contributed by William Morris and Georgia Caine.

The roles of the two other women who loved the Pekingese are effectively played by Natalie Voorthffiil and N4a Suoderiand.

Although official confirmation is lack- 1 ing, it is understood that President i Coolidge haa decided to make a four to six-day trip through Yellowstone National Park next week. Railroad officials have been in Rapid City with an itinerary which calls for the entrance of the President into the park at Gardiner, Wyo.
