The Pasadena Post from Pasadena, California • 10

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1928 EVENING POST FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1928 FILMS Books Art TOMORROW IS VILLAIN New Bill Opens at Warner's Tomorrow Opening the new week tomorrow, the Hart Players Stock company present The Unwanted 'Child, a four act comedy-drama, at Warners Egyptian theater. This will mark the Hart Players 51st week at this theater. The Unwanted Child, states the management, is not a problem or sex play, but instead a comedy- drama of our everyday American life, in which is unfolded a romantic love story that is for all the worlc like a spring day. For the week, together with th. play, Warners will feature Alice White In Lingerie." The play is nightly at 8:15 o'clock, with pictures before and after.

Fred Thomson, Pasadena's owr home-born preacher, cowboy, movie actor, will be seen on the screen for tomorrow's childrens matinee only, in his great feature picture, Silver Comes Through. Billie Dove Is Starred In New Film Entitled The Night Watch The Colorado theater today offers a complete new 3how Billie Dove, First Nationals beautiful star, has the leading role in The Night Watch and opposite her plays Donald Reed, one of the younger stars of Hollywood. A series of Interesting settings representing scenes in the interior of a huge, modern battleship, were built especially for this picture. Almost the entire action of the picture takes place on deck, in the staterooms and in the officers quarters on the battleship. The Night Watch" is an intriguing mystery drama in which the beautiful star has one of the most dramatic roles of her screen career.

Fanchon Marcos Idea for this week is Social Climbers, featuring Flo Ollle Walters, 20 beautiful social climbers, Woods Miller, Jimmy Faucette and others. Tne stage show has just completed a weeks engagement in Los Angeles where the critics pronounced it one of the most colorful so far presented.

Eves 8i20 Nats Wed 2:30 Emil Jannings Scores Again As Cruel Czar Paul In The Patriot By POST CRITIC Gigantic in its production, "The Patriot" opened last night at the Strand theater. Emil Jannings as! Paul, the first mad czar of gives a performance in this picture which proclaims him once and for i all time the greatest actor on the I screen today. It is not merely a trick of makeup, of lighting effects. I of costume, that brings to hie ihe historical story of the madman monarch. There is a depth and sympathy that Is part of life itself embodied in the dramatic unfolding ui the tale.

Jannings does not act he lives his part. His expression of pitiful, child-like fear and distrust of everyone about him except his one friend, Pahlen, his obsessing horror ot death, every thought within his poor befogged mind mirror themselves in his face. Stripped bare of every effect the picture would resolve itself into a composition of the elemental emotions of life, gripping in its intensity, heart-breaking in its tragedy, with all of the iiony of the inevitable. Jannings does more than portray a repulsive monster who uses the people of his country as playthings for a fiends fancies. He touches his performance with a profound sympathy of understanding.

Lewis Stone gives the finest performance of his career as Pahlen, who sacrifices love and friendship and even his own life In order to be a patriot He too lends sympathy and understanding to his character- lzation. Conflict of the ages is embodied in the story which unfolds itself as ruthlessly as fate until it reaches its climax. The scene where Paul runs cowering to his throne, then suddenly defies the mob sur- I rounding him to kill him if they; dare, is one of the most powerful! moments I have ever seen pictured; on any screen. Florence Vidor moves through her i part with graceful charm character-! tstic to all of her portrayals. But her 1 acting is overshadowed by that of Jannings and Stone.

She seems In-! cidental in spite of the part her-presence plays within the story. The Patriot is not a pretty pic- ture. It is a gripping, throbbing, hu- man spectacle which everyone who appreciates perfect direction should see. S. R.

Pennsylvania Road Will Be Electrified NEW YORK, Nov. 2. OT The Pennsylvania railroad is to electrify its entire freight and passenger service between New York and Wil- Gossipy Sex Promises To Call Forth Gales Of Laughter Pasadena must say farewell tonight to George M. Cohans great success, The Home Towners. The Charles King Players will give this delightful play its final presentation at the Raymond theater.

Though perhaps not the funniest of the Cohan cycle or the funniest of the current season at the Raymond, nevertheless it has all the elements that go to make a play 100 per cent entertainment. Judging from the bits of gossip that have emanated from members of the company after rehearsals, Pasadena Is in for another merry week, something along the lines of The Cradle Snatchers. The John Golden farce, The Gossipy Sex will be the attraction for the week, starting tomorrow matinee at 2:30, with evening performances at 8:20 and other matinees Sunday and Wednesday. The Gossipy Sex is a surprise farce in certain respects in that the leading gossiper is not what the audience at first believes. A certain character in the play has a com- plex for dispersing choice tid-bits of gossip that might be acceptable for the front pages of the tabloids.

The pandemonium starts when he is invited to a party where a number of newly-weds are present. Here he plants a number of his best whispers, and the fun is on for two hours. The situations this busy-body velops are among the most laughable ever conceived for a farce, and as Pasadena has signified its favor of type of play, the Charles King Players are looking for an exceptionally big week. It was announced today that election returns would be given between the acts on Tuesday night, and that reservations may be made now.

Finding Fire on Ship Hard, Fireman Says NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2 One of the hardest jobs for a wat-er-goiny fire department is finding the fire, says John J. C. Pasley, fire captain of the fire tug Deluge, guardian of New Orleans harbor. 'When a building Is burning you can see where and how it is burn lng.

When a ship is afire, how ever, its not so easy. It may be afire in any one of a hundred places. Generally, though, you can find the fire by searching for the hottest place on the deck. But even after you have done this, your work has just started, because then you have to learn the construction of the ship. Architect's Friends Pay House Mortgage SPRING GREEN.

By WADE HOLLYWOOD, Cal. A Sunday, evening revel at the Masquers club brings out as large a gathering of masculine screen celebrities as one is likely to see anywhere in or near Hollywood.

It is strictly a mens organization. All the illustrious heroines of the cinema are absent, and there is not even a hat-check girl who can eye the stars and directors appraisingly as they doff their derbies at the doer. In the smoking, Jcstuig crowd waiting for the curtain to rise in the clubhouse theater one sees Chester Conklin, without his famous moustache; Harold Lloyd, without his glasses: Lew Cody, without that full dress suit; Jean Hersholt, without a care in the world, and a hundred others whose faces would seem vividly familiar to most film fans. Jol-llest of the lot are the villains, whose daily toil is to look hard-boiled and sour for the camera. Certainly no ordinary audience on which to try out one's latest skit.

Last time the program included a censorship burlesque with Harry Gribbon and an assistant deputy inspecting a new play for the district attorneys office; a rustic monologue by James Gleason, the actor-playwright, and a French farce played in French with Hollywood annota- 4 to 5 P.
