Despite the fact that he gives them the best education possible and all the luxuries In life, Para way's children prove disappointing. His daughter Phoebe shames hint with her many love affairs: his eldest son Gene la nothing more than a drunkard; Bert wants only to bo a window trimmer, and Freddie gets entangled with a 'woman. Pardway dies in the knowledge that he has failed, that all has tumbled under hlmand bequeaths the store to Abe Ullmsn, his gen-eral manager.

Gloria Stuart, Erlo Linden, George Meeker and William Gargan. as Pardway's children, also play their parts well. An exceptionally elaborate stag show, produced In the typical "Roxy manner," proves catching to both eye and ear.

A dignified, well directed and well pointed production is this lat est Music Hall feature "Sweepings," which RKO-Radlo has adapted for the screen from the excellent novel of the same name by Lester Cohen. It relates the 'story of Daniel Pardway and his wife, Abigail, who open a dry goods store in Chicago shortly after the famous fire that Mrs. O'Leary's cow started by kicking over a lantern.

The store soon develops Into one of the Windy City's greatest department stores, making the Pardways very wealthy At this time Mrs. Pardway dies, leaving Daniel with four children. Daniel is very much devoted to his AMUSEMENTS if The royal family of the theatre, the Barrymores, Ethel and John are pictured above in the make-up of the characters they portray in 'Rasputin" the hit cinema now at Loew's Metropolitan. This is the first time that the trio has appeared together in the movies.

AMUSEMENTS emmm mum ti si i i lav THEATRES mjw at aw Awm Arum Manhattan Potpourri: The Metropolitan Museum, it la -whispered, will shortly startle tourists with an exhibition of comic strips, tracing the famous ones back to their originals, with samples. Though the academicians may lioot, the comic strip concocters continue to leave ah Imprint on the artistic map of America. Not a few of the men who draw daily funny folk possess genuine and unique talent. No history of American art, 100 years hence, -will be able to Ignore, for example, Percy Crosby, the father of "6Wp-py." It is curious, but true, that no woman has ever become renowned as an artist for the funny papers. Barter, it's clear, has carved a permanent niche in the trade of the town.

Want ads flicker with bizarre offers to swap. A dentist today wants to trade his services for a house in the country for the summer. A lady would Jiand over her jewel box for the rent on an exclusive apartment. artist seeks to swap portraits for a second-hand car. A lady In Harlem would cook for a month In exchange for a hair-; straightening course in a beauty parlor.

Change Has Wrought I wonder what Washington Irving would think could he see his old home at 49 Irving pL It Is a tearoom, a luncheon shoppe. Few tourists seek it out any more, but it has a loyal clientelle of nice ladles of the neighborhood. I wonder, too, what the author of "Rip Van Winkle" would say if, returning tike Rip after long sleep, he took a look-in at the Irving Place Burlesk. I can bear his shocked exclamation. Or maybe he'd go for the gayetles there in a big way there's no telling.

I In keeping with theKomedy Karnlval Week at the Brooklyn Fox Theatre. Jack Oakle, the clown of screen clowns, will supply the main laugh-producing antics during the coming week in "Sailor Be Good," which opened last night The lad with the toothsome grin is aided and abetted by Vivienne Os borne and George E. Stone. The plot, so Called, revolves around the. aspirations of Oakle, as Kelsey vJones, a gob- attached to the Pacific fleet to win the middleweight fight championship of the nyvee and the heart of a como-on gal in a San Francisco "speak." "Jonesy," as he is known to his friends, has, however, a chronic weakness for wine, women, and ruins 'his training at the wrong moments by drinking well but not wisely, i Two weeks before the nrellml.

nary fight leading to tho championship encounter, "Jonesy" and the red-headed Miss Osborne have themselves a party, and things look bad for Oakle when he climbs Into the ring. But his opponent fouls him In the third round, cinnrins- the way to the chamnlon. "Reii" realizes the importance of strict training to oakle's chances for the crown and puts him on a drinkless and smokeless diet But the straight and narrow is too much for the would-be champ and he succumbs to the wiles of a wealthy and pampered young society bud. The two slope In her airplane, are married and return to the palatial residence she calls "home." The coolness with which Oakle's boyish pranks are received in the drawing room of his hew home Is both amusing and pitiful. But eventually he returns to the navy as she sets out for Reno.

Of course, Oakle pulls a Frank Merrl-well, knocks out the champion and is reunited with the red-head. Morton Downey is featured in a comedy short, "The Hold-up," in which also appear the Do, Re, Ml song birds; Joe Young, the song writer; John S. Young, radio announcer, and Kreddv Mnrtln his band.

Aspirants receiving the approval of the audience will be given an audition at the Studio with the possible chance of becoming a regular radio feature. Anyone Wishing to take the test may do so by registering at the inestrn. sor me ursi auunion next Wednesday night Fields and Hall, the redlo team, will appear in person to show exactly Jiow broadcasting is dono in the big stuaios.

a real opportunity is at-forded those having talent for radio work. Lionel. He placed a chair for Ethel. "Better sit down." he advised. "I've been sitting so long it feels gooa to stana." Lionel waved a reproving finger.

"Listen you're working with a wrenched ankle that Isn't well yet do as i ten you before I get angry." Ethel smiled, shrugged ana sat down. i "Brother knows best" "This make-up reminds me of Nat Goodwin's in The Merchant of continued Lionel, as though a scene had never interrupted his conversation. "Great old fellow Nat That reminds me, I'd rather like to play Fagin in 'Oliver Twist' "I should think you would," said Ethel. "Maybe you'd like me to play Bill Sykes in it," ventured John. "I was reading in a story of the life of the Russian family, countered Lionel, "that the Caar's daughter, the Grand Duchess Tatl-ana, was an avid reader of Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" stories.

"Translated into Kusstan. suppose?" asked the director. "No she read English er festly." answered EtheL An electrician shoved a big sun are across the stage. The camera moved in tor a close-up of Lionel and the boy. "We'll need the other voices coming in," said the director, as a "grip" placed a blackboard, to cut off tho reflection of light, between the lamp ana John.

"That's right hide the soulrt!" grinned Lionel. The second scene or the Barry mores was started. History of the screen was tyade. me nrst appearance or tne Barrymore together, heralded for months, was a certainty. A strangely appropriate story is that chosen for the "Royal Family." It gives each of the talented Barry mores a role best suited to his or her particular talents.

Ethel, with her stately carriage, her rich mezzo-soprano voice, is the Empress of the Russians. She wears gorgeous gowns gorgeously. She revels in the dramatic role of an Empress, powerless to save the little son, light of her life and hope Of her nation, from the ailment inherited from her own dynasty, tt is a tense, throbbing role, rloh in mother love. Whatever Ethel Barrymore does, one never loses sight of her great dramatic eyes. They are the eye of the Barrymore family, but darker than John' or Llonel'a She can speak volumes with them.

RAILROAD INCOME DROPS Philadelphia, March 25. A decrease of In the net operat ing income for February In com parlson with the same month of last year, was noted today in the monthly report of the Pennsylvania Railroad. By TIM MARKS The three 'Barryniores were grouped on a big sound stage at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. It was their first scene before the camera in "Rasputin," now being shown at Loew's Metropolitan. Ethel, in a flowing gray gown, wearing the coiffure of the time, was the ill-fated Czarina.

John, In gorgeous uniform, with a sword be idly clanked while waiting for the scene, was the Grand Duke. Lionel, In the black peasant's garb and the Svengali-like make-up, was the "Holy Devil." They didn't talk about that first scene which is an event of events in the history' of the screen the first scene any camera ever filmed of the three Barrymores together. It wasn't stage fright The sea soned troupers were entirely at ease. Bill Daniels, the cameraman, seemed to be the one with stage fright Clarence Brlcker, the production -manager, twitched nervously at his necktie. It was the scene where the monk brings the little Czarevitch, apparently cured by a miracle, through the great folding doors to his frantic mother, John stands by her.
