The book is by Bud De Sylva and Jack McGowan, the lyrics by of screen characterizations in The Street of Sin." his latest starring nirture at the Rialto Theater. The story is a product of the combined Bud De Sylva and Lt'w Brown and the music by Ray Henderson. The De Sylva-Brown-Henderson combination is responsible for "Good News," imaginations of Josef von Sternberg and Benjamin Glazer and it is this observer's duty to report that better ones have occasionally found their way to the silver curtains. For "The Street of Sin" is freighted with too much sentimentality and synthetic moralizing to be an altogether believable vehicle for the First Actor of the cinema. It is not unlikely that admirers of Heir Jannings, who cherish memories of his performances in "The Last Laugh." "Variety" and Tar-tuffe." will anticipate with misgivings this tale of the notorious "Basher BUI" who permits a Salvation lassie to bring about his moral disinfection.

And that, in effect, is the story of "The Street of story that, oddly enough, fairly reeks of the Hollywood forces of virtue. But there is no need for too much alarm. The pictures of Emil Jan-nings you may recall, have Invariably possessed the saving grace of master- ful performances. It is pleasant io nnint nut that the picture at. the Hobart Botworth and June Collyer, a.

they appeared to the yesterday at the Brooklyn Mark Strand Theater. Rialto embodies at least two such outstanding performances. Jannings, of course, contributes one of these; the other is turned in by Olga Baklanova. the former member of the Moscow Art Musical Studio, who is concurrently making a name for herself at the Central Theater in "The Man Who Laughs." Together, these two make up more than adequately for the deficiencies of the narrative. There were those at the Rialto vesterday, indeed, who suspected that Citizeness Baklanova herself carried away the major honors of "The Street of Sin." However this may be.

that lady's portrayal of a Limehouse sister of joy will probably go down as one of the finest exhibitions the screen has revealed in many months. It is in the cards that you will see considerably more of this actress in the movie parlors as time goes on. It is possible that you can overlook the more obvious portions of this newest Jannines production in order to Type WINTER GARDEN ERAts obiatest or aix aiviFi Greenwich Village Follies SI0R0SCO of mf Era.

Aarons and Freedley are among the most successful producers in the field of musical comedy. They have a peculiar knack of making their shows attractive to young people and that includes those who do not intend to grow old. The entire program at the New Brighton Theater this week was conceived and staged by Harry Carroll. composer-comedian.

He appears at frequent intervals throughout the performances. The first performance in this coun try of "A Man With Red Hair" will occur at the Great Neck Playhouse Thursday night, June 7. This is the Hugh Walpole melodrama mat caused the British censor to raise his eyebrows when the piece was announced for the Little Theater, London. Donald Blackwell has been added to the cast, which includes Crane Wilbur, Joan MacLean, Alan Brooks, Hugh Sinclair and Henry Carvill. The Gallery Gods, a group of play goers who subscribe for balcony seats at the opening nights of the Actor-Managers' productions, have been invited to a tea at a restaurant on 57th st.

Sunday afternoon, June 3, to meet the cast of the Grand Street Follies, which opens tonight at the Booth. Arthur n.

In an effort to circle the globe by radio. Lew Leslie is completing plans whereby Aida Ward. Adelaide Hall, Bill Robinson and Tim Moore, mem bers of "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Liberty Theater, will broadcast numbers from the show. London, Calcutta and Sydney, Australia, radio stations will pick up the broadcast in an effort to make a complete circuit of the world. Duse Film at St.

George The screen program at the St. George Playhouse today easily de serves the description "Oinerent. Neither of the two features which make up the bill has ever been exhibited in the regular Broadway picture theaters, a fact which may or may not indicate the unique entertainment quality of "Mother" and "The Swilin' Racket." The former is a tragic but nevertheless enjoyable study in maternal devotion. In its starring role is the late Eleonora Duse. It was in this picture, It is claimed, that the famous Italian tragedienne made her only appearance before the motion picture camera.

It is on this account alone, probably, that "Mother" may be set down as an interesting movie document. Certainly, for the late Duse's performance alone, the picture Is worth seeing. "The Swilin' Racket" is a thoroughly entertaining and Informative record of seal hunting, and should provide you with all the information necessary concerning that pleasaril and frequently hazardous pastime. Pola Negri Plans Tour A leisurely three months' automobile tour with her husband will occupy Pola Negri's time beginning about June 1, according to the star's plans announced last week. The contem plated tour comprises the longest rest taken by Miss Negri during the six years that have elapsed since she ar rived from Berlin to begin work un der her Paramount contract.

The Polish actress' present picture, "The Lady From Moscow," is the first directed in America by Ludwig Ber-ger, who became known here with the appearance of his successes.

Fire Halts Filming Raoul Walsh has postponed further work on his next picture, "Me. Gang ter," because of the recent fire on the Fox "lot" In Hollywood. Seven of the eight sets that were burned had lust been erected for Walsh's screen version of Charles Francis Coe's story.

However, a walling list Is being formed for the following year and those who cannot be taken care of for the coming season will have first choice of unrenewed locations for the season of i2B-1930.

This it the firm time the Guild has had to close Its books before the opening of a season, a situation which ret ma to have no precedent In theatrical history here. The rloslng of the books doea not mean that there will be no seats available for the pub lie, for It has always been the policy of the Guild to nell a certain number of arat at the box office, with the last minute needs of the out-of town visitor particularly In mind.

Duval Rose Dlone Stage Manager Chautard The Duke Mario Canlo The Count Leonardo de Vesa The Marquis Jules Rancourl At the Paramount this week Adolphe Menjou may be seen in "His Tiger Lady," a story of a theatrical supernumerary who wins a haughty, courage-loving Duchess through a combination of audacity and luck. For Menjou it may be described as a characteristic role. In it he dominates an effete setting in the gorgeous super's costume of a Rajah, in place of the conventional evening dress. Thus attired one evening in a fashionable Parisian restaurant, he commands the services of the entire staff, makes the charming lady and her three noble escorts his guests, and finally permits one of the noblemen to foot the stupendous "addition" while he takes his ceremonious departure. Evelyn Brent is admirably cast as the Duchess, who is not above putting to the test the assurance all men give her on brief acquaintance to the effect that they would gladly die for her.

She has developed the tiger cage in the Paris zoo as the lists In which to test her knights. Others have always balked at recovering her glove from under the feet of the ferocious occupant of the cage. But out hero, arriving at the rendezvous in advance of the lady, learns that the beast has died overnight. He stands in Napoleonic majesty, his foot on the animal's head, when she does arrive. P.

S. Menjou wins the Duchess. Not too weighty as to plot. "His Tiger Lady" is nevertheless a pleasant entertainment. The stage presentations at the Para mount are still dominated by Paul Ash.

Thura. at aat in the bullrushes. and straightaway (a itter of quickly passing years) the child grows up and becomes, as Mr. Chaney discovers to his horror, "a woman." Thus, any one who has witnessed Mr. Chancy go through the same sort of thing on countless previous occasions, will be quick to guess that Mr.

Chaney's clownish heart will break ere long out of love for the beautiful Simonetta. who. alas, is ds-voted to another and younger admirer. This, with the usual stenciled variations, is precisely what occurs at Major Bowes' playhouse this week, and if you are not utterly tired of this sort of thing by now you may just possibly find "Laugh, Clown, Laugh," a mildly Interesting document. As a matter of fact, Director Herbert Brenon has given this slightly rickety vehicle an unusually handsome production.

The quality of its physical effects is deserving of a less soporific theme. Incidentally, the picture Is a transcription of the play of the same name by David Belasco and Tom Cushing. Mr. Chaney. needless to say, might have availed himself of a less antiquated composition.

The piece is acted out to its tearful end sincerely enough by the star and a cast which includes Loretta Young, Bernard Siegel, Nils Asther, Fitzgerald and Gwen Lee. Miss Young is one of Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer's newer candidates for' fame, and it should be reported that she is an Ingenue of some promise.

Aided by r.umerous scenes of the ortld sod filmed, It may be readily believed, in the Emerald Isle Itself, the picture is an example of exquisite photography, coupled with a fairly dramatic narrative. Admirer of Victor McLaglrn will be glad to know that the erstwhile Captain Flagg of "What Price Glory" Is present here In the role of Citizen Hogan, and a capital portrayal he gives of that stanch Celtic tieman, too. June Collyer Is the Connie O'Brien who carries out her dying father's wish that she marry the not too honorable John Dairy, match which ends, you will recall, when that blackguard meets his death 1 a blaze of his own kindling.

John Ford, who directed the piece. Am been particularly successful In maintaining an tinfliiKglng pace In the ot fhe Donn Byrne book. The acting, especially that of Mc-Laglen. Mis Collyer and Earle Foxc. who enlivens the role of the villainous Darcy, of a consistently high order.
