Dolores Del Rio, the beautiful and charming Charmaine of What Price Glory, stars to the feminine role of No Other Woman. This photoplay Is handsomely mounted and filled to the brim with romance, comedy, thrills and poweiful drama. The locale is Biarritz, France, and the theme is based on the primitive passions of the fashionable set. The story opens with the Jlgges as steerage passengers arriving from Dublin to company with the Dinty Moores. There is heart interest and romance well worked out for the film play.

4 Neiv Orpheum EVERYBODY works to the Foy family and everyone makes an exceedingly good job of hia task. These boyj and girls as most everyone knows are the children of the late Edflle Foy, and Yor awhile all of the chlldien appeared with him to vaudeville. The remaining six of the younger Foys are still a vaudeville unit and each and everyone of them is indeed a chip of the old block.

STARTING TODAY EXCLUSIVE A DOUBLE FEATURE vtt UE THE FIERY MAGNETIC STAR OF RAMONA and WHAT PRICE GLORY SPEAKING VAUDEVILLE HERES A REAL SHOW The!" jrtwsv 1 3 Lv. A Mary Philbin and Conrad Veldt By GENE COHN NEA Service Writer NEW YORK Each season adds a few new words to the dictionary of film criticism. Just as most of us were getting to a point where we could use camera angles intelligently, along come such new usages as rhythm, symphony, scope, and dignity. Just as jsmnting gave birth to perspective, line, "movement, "design, and all the rest, so are those films to which the word art can be hastily applied "coining a list of critical terms, In and about Broadway we hear them more and more.

Symphony was tossed profligately about when Murnaus Sunrise flickered on the screen. The pictures movement was compared to the various oi chestrated moods, and was interpreted accordingly. Incidentally, Mur-nau introduced the slow-rising fog haze which Fox seems to like so well that he used it again in Street Angel. and once more to chart the Irish background of Hangmans House. SINCE few seem to hold out any great hope for improvement to story.

Interest among those who sit through hundred films or more a year centers recently upon the amazing progress of technique, dignity, and rhythm. In this regard, two of the more recent super-films to have premieres on Broadway are particularly noteworthy. The first is tJniversals The Man Who Laughed, and the other is John Barrymores "Tempest. In the latter, technique has been so studied that one begins to wonder if it can be overdone. Effects achieved to a prison scene.

In handling sequences showing the revolutionary activities of following Barrymore through his mortifying experiences at the hands of the nobility are so curiously excellent as to negate reality. Yet their effectiveness cannot be questioned dramatically or pictorially. rpHS Man Who Laughed is A unique to that it follows faithfully the gruesome Hugo novel except, perhaps, for a few moments toward the pictures close. Then it carries the hero to his happy ending. A brooding, terrible story this of a son of royalty, disfigured in youth by some of those wandering hands of barber surgeons of the middle ages.

The Late Eddies Pride and Joy REAL CHIPS OFF THE OLD BLOCK i S' In The Man Who Laughed. His father had won the disfavor of the court, and the son was marked by those early day plastic surgeons who carved a perpetual grimace upon the childs mouth. As he maturest the youth becomes a circus figure. He is a thing for the crowds to look upon and jeer at, or to burst into laughter over. He is a great sideshow success, but the curse of this perpetual leer haunts him.

His only friend is a dog which Hugo, with typical irony, named Man. But the travelmg show owner has a lovely blind daughter, and since she cannot see the horrid face, she loves only the character. The clown is reclaimed at court, horrifies the dignitaries with his appearance, and is betrothed to a royal lady. Thus far does the screen story trail the novel. But Hollywood has had him make a Fairbanks escape, slay a few pursuers, and escape on an outgoing ship.

Paul Lenl, the director, has handled the pictures to tones of gray, an effect that is particularly striking. And Conrad Veidt, the German importation, has more than justified his European reputation. It is doubtful if this will be particularly popular with fans, though you never can tell, these days. ee rriEMPEST is marked largely by A the splendid behavior of John Barrymore, who threatened to be listed as a film ham, in spite of flapper adoration, together with the American bow of Camilla Horn. Camilla looms as one of the finest young actresses in the American cinema; a lovely blonde with an extraordinary range of expression, and more beauty than any single individual needs.

Barrymore has had the good sense to forget that he ever played Jekyll-Hyde or ever tilted swords. There are moments when he acts like an actor, even when he fails to act like a Kus-sian-r-or resemble one. The camera work is some of the best to be seen this season.

The new school producers are mak. ing pictures of modern life, with their Japanese actors to dress coats, toppers, spats and Oxford bags, and these films are gaining rapidly to popularity. In. many of the provincial theaters the moving picture exhibitors charge no admission.

They get their films, which are old and spotty, for virtually nothing and make their profits from the sales of cakes, tea, curios and photographs. Big houses in large cities charge admissions ranging from 20 cents to $1.25. Admissions to the country theaters average from seven to 13 cents. In almost all the theaters the real star of the program is the speaker or announcer, who reads the titles to spectators. He also explains the scenes and generally is a comedian as well as a tragedian.

The Japanese public, while generally literate, cannot usually read the titles as rapidly as they are thrown on the screen. Sftme announcers make salaries of from $300 to $500 a month.
