THE KANSAS CITY TIMES, MONDAY. FEBRUARY for the Dames Shall with Charley Chase. No matter how tired you are or grouchy you are or sore because Cousin Ella is bringing Nephew Egbert, "the infant phenomenon" of the family. to dinner tonight, you'll laugh at the perfectly silly scene where Charley Chase is dragging the clothes basket through the streets.

It is a little bit of "Broadway," a little bit of "Underworld," and a lot of hokum. but fairly thrilling hokum, at that.

The bootlegging and hijacking and cabaret elements of ''Broadway" have been retained, also much of the slang. "That dame knows her onions, chief. I'll stake the roll she's a plant" beams at you placidly on one sub-title, and, not long after, "I was right. The kid's a frame." still. "Chicago After Midnight" probably will please the photoplay fans who like their pictures of the 10, 20 30 cent melodrama fashion.

The youngsters will love It, if their mothers let them go to see it. Bill Boyd is a bootlegger gunman who does a 15-year stretch in Sing Sing because Hardy, another gangster, snitches on him. He comes out of prison determined to get Hardy and does it. planting a revolver near the unconscious hand of Jack Waring, an orchestra leader whom Hardy had previously knocked cold with a w'-'-ky bottle. A cabaret girl who is in love with Hardy goes into the rendezvous of Boyd's gang to get information as to who killed her lover.

She gets the goods on Boyd and nearly gets branded on the cheek for her efforts. In a final hectic scene. Boyd discovers that she is his daughter Then everybody starts shooting, tables are overturned, and the law comes. At the end of melee Boyd is dead, several other gangsters have passed along with him. and no one is left alive who will bother Betty and her fair-haired boy.

Our main objection to "Chicago After Midnight" lies in one very unreal twist to the plot Boyd has been "Chief" all through the picture to one particular gang and even its leader has been working hand in glove with him, the two agreeing on the branding of the girl just because that is their pleasant little way of having a good time and punishing their enemies. Then, when Boyd discovers that Betty is his daughter. he and the gangster get into a knock-down-anddrag-out fight over the branding. without the least preliminary argument on the subject. If Boyd was such a high-and-mighty power in Chicago gangland.

it would seem that his mere change of mind would have stopped the branding and that he wouldn't have had to forfeit his life in the cause.

This Universal feature marks the introduction to the American photoplay world of Ivan Mosjukine, Russian motion picture star, svho has much of the appearance and many of the tricks of the smarter Germans, but never tries to "hog" the screen or subordinate the work of the other players. Mr. Mosjukine is quite an actor, in our opinion.

and he has quite a play with which to work. The latter is "Surrender." from the story "Lea Lyon," by Alexander Brady, and it is no fare for the devotees of the pie-throwing or patent-leatherhaired schools of motion picture productions. It is a serious, almost bitter tale of Austrian peasant life, simply, yet impressively told. It holds you, unless your taste runs to the kind of offerings for which "Is She My Girl How-De-Ow-Dow" is the correct musical accompaniment. Lea Lyon is an Austrian peasant girl, daughter of the town rabbi, who is engaged to Joshua, a stick of a man who has a bumpkin's conceit of ownership over her because her father has agreed to their betrothal.

Into her life comes Prince Constantin, a Russian who is hunting near her town. and out of it he goes inunediately, because the rabbi stormily objects to a love scene between the two. The World War breaks and Constantin leads a company of Cossacks into Lea's village. He now is one of her hated foes and she scorns him, as do her father end Joshua. Constantin stands just so much of this treatment, then orders Lea to come to his rooms at 9 o'clock at night, else he will burn the town.

She does not know what to do. The sacrifice demanded of her is terrible. set the sight of the imploring townspeople whose fate is dependent on her tears her heart. At last she goes and Constantin, sincerely In love with her, only kisses her. At this moment large forces of Austrians charge the place and Lea helps Constantin, whom Joshua has wounded, escape.

The peasants, secure in the presence of the Austrian troops, forget what Lea did for them and rise up in wrath at the girl who has supposedly given hersel f. to a Russian. They stone her out of town and kill her father in the doing. Lea knows suffering and misery to the end of the war and then Constantin comes back. He gave her his pledge that he would, and be does.

On that note the picture ends and the audience, which has spent a tense hour and a half following its course, sits back satisfied. Mr. Mosjuldne, as has been said, looks and acts the part of Constantin most effectively. We hop3 Universal will put him in more pictures immediately. Mary Philbin is a pretty and effective Lea and Nigel de Bruner and Otto Matiesen play the difficult character roles of the rabbi and Joshua well.

The scene where Constantin is the guest at the unwilling Austrians' family dinner is a vital bit of picture taking. On the stage at the Uptown are Marie Kelley's Dancing Rockets. You know how good the Rockets were at tom's Midland. They haven't lost a thing. luau wide.

Sol. Down Stairs Store Toni Dolores Del Rio Arthur Wyatt Welter Pidgeon George gilliehole Anders Renck. If Henry Hooker Ted McNamara Rudolf oilmen Adolf Millar Jim Mortlake Penton eorian0 Noble Johnson Indian child Virginia La Funds IFE, as was remarked in yesterday'a photoplay section. is just one country after another. also one love scene after another, to Dolores Del Rio, the Mexican beauty who put several of the best noses in Hollywood out of joint with her quick rise from obscurity to stardom.

Dolorea has had to appear In French, Spanish and Russian plots with startling rapidity during these last several months. At the Pantages theater this week she is a Bolivian and a red hot one, should anyone ask you. The opening of "The Gateway to the Moon" finds LaBelle Del Rio trotting around the South American landscape in a tablecloth and a pleasant smile and wondering when a lovera white man. not an Indianis coining along for her Her uncle is the cheating boss of a crew of Englishmen who are building a railroad through a Jungle. She is the one weak side of his life.

We don't blame him Dolores could be that to us, too, any time she wanted to. The lover arrives in the person of Arthur Wyatt. an inspector of the railroad work. One of the Englishmen who already is on the job. Jim Mortlake, warns Wyatt that there has been dirty work at the cross-roads as regards payrolls and such by Dolores's uncle.

For that service, the uncle sees that Mortlake goes on a surveying trip into the jungle. He dies there. and Wyatt swears to be revenged. The Englishman prepares to go back to headquarters to tell his story and the uncle and Rudolf Gotttnan, a villainous aide, determine to stop him. They send Dolores to "vamp" Wyatt and for several minutes and quite a few hundred feet of film he proves to be a better man than you are.

Gunge Dhin. Dolores unwittingly leads to his betrayal, however. and Oottman shoots him, but with one of those bad shots by which movie heroines always are wounded, but never killed. The Indians, who have been raising the devil all over camp over the uncle's and Gottman's skullduggery, go berserk at this point and kill both troublemakers. Dolores nurses Wyatt back to life and then he decides he is going back down the river to England and the "old folks at home." He startsthat's all.

he just starts. As his canoe rounds the bend, he gets a glimpse of Dolores in his minds eye and decides to espouse swamp fever and alligators the rest of his life for her. If you believe a man in real life would do that, we'll bet you'd have to go as far down the alphabet as Wyatt to find him Miss Del Rio, as has been said. is quite the charmer as the Bolivian girl, only we could wish that the woula not make up her lips so prominently for her big scenes She does it to such an extent In "The Gateway to the Moon" that some of her crying moments look like grimaces. Walter Pidgeon Is a consistent and good-looking Arthur Wyatt and Anders Randolf and Adolf Millar are a satisfactory pair of plotters.

Ted McNamara contributes a few nice moments of comic relief as Henry Hooker. The stage show features Tameo Kajiyama, a Japanese who reads, writes and spells what he reads upside down and backwards. Years ago Russel Crouse, now a columnist on the New York Evening Post, saw Kajiyama with us and bet that the Japanese would go crazy in two years over the difficulty of his task. This is to notify Mr. Crouse that he has lost that bet and should pay.

Gautschi and Phelps, with La Chapinae Marimba band, have a corking dance offering. Every part of it Is entertaining. Gene Pearson and Bob Anderson are feminine impersonators, If you are interested. Boyd and Wallin are tight-rope walkers who make their teeth do most of the work. The Wilmot Sisters announce that they will sing "Songs of Today and Yesterday." and make "At Sundown" presumably one of the former.

We left a Michigan summer resort last August to get away from "At Sundown" and insist that it is not only a song of yesterday, but one of six months ago. A CAPACITY audience, the largest we 11 remember having seen for a photo-play in Kansas City, greeted the opening last night at the Shubert theater of Wings," Adolph Zukors and Jesse Lasky's tribute to the part the air service performed in the great war. If you don't eee "Wings" and the battle scenes it contains, you will be missing an evening in the theater that you will think about for some time. Really. one finds It hard to describe the combat scenes when the rival air forces of the American and German armies get into action in the picture.

Imagine a sky filled with planes whose pilots are engaged in death struggles. Ehip after ship plunges head on at each other. Aviators do loop-the-loops, barrel rolls, falling leafs and Immelmans by the score. Planes crash head on thou. sands of feet above the earth.

They catch on fire in mid-air and go into nose dives to the ground. It really is the duty of everyone to see Wings" in order to appreciate the perils this country's airmen braved to give the United States supremacy above the land as well as on it. Much of the story of 'Wings" has been told in these columns before. The Star's Photoplay Editor was in San Antonio for its filming and wrote narratives of what he saw and the important part taken in events by our own Charles (Buddy) Rogers Of Olathe. Buddy is more than prominent in the picture.

He is the hero who comes marching home to the girl he left behind him, only this girl Clara Bow) goes abroad herself and tries to get Buddy out of a scrape in Paris, only to be cashiered back to the states for her efforts. Buddy. to make a long story short, is John Powell in Wings." a boy who always has wanted to be an aviator and Is quick to volunteer when war is de-1 eared. David ATMStrOng (Richard Arlen) another youngster from the same town, enlists. too, and the two have quite a fight at their training camp in Texas.

They later become fast friends and stay so until the war claims David's life and treats Buddy more fortunately. Buddy gets the girl he wants, as has been said, but, does not realize that he wants her until the film has run fourflitha of its course. We don't blame hun a bit for falling for Arlette Marche' in Paris. France contained many a girl like her and they weren't at all bad. not It all.

sir. Buddy's interpretation of his role, a long and difficult part, pleased last night's house. including his family and friends, all of whom were present In great number. "Wings', marks another step the Olathe young man is taking up the photoplay ladder. He looks hard to stop.

Mr, Arlen is an attractive and most capable David Armstrong and El Brendel provides quite a bit of fun as Patrick O'Brien. the awkward recruit. Clara Bow sufficiently Clara Bowish as Mary Preston. Such "names" in the photo-play world as Jobyna Ralston. Henry B.

Walthall, Julia Swayne Gordon. George Irving and Hedda Hopper have to be content with small roles in "Wings" but are most satisfactory in them. When all is said and done. however, PC must toast again the countless daring aviators who "stunted" their ways all over the skies of Bexar County. Texas, to provide the proper scenic and thrilling background for the picture.

These were airmen, friends, and all glory be to them. L. L. Down Stairs Store Om Rayon Sheeting duraole It especially I' a 30.4 r. This heti Pep.
