THE KIBITZER -BIG STRAND HIT i Comedy. So Successful On Broadway Stage Amplified- As Talkie Skin Deep Comes Wednesday Strand audiences jiut laughed and laughed tha past two days at the talkie version of the famous stage comedy success, The Kltatser." A klbltiocr Js nothing Ins, nothing more than the fellow who butt In. and everyone know that a play built up with one of those fellows supplying the chief fun la bound to be of the sort that makes you liuah heartily in the Strand and for seeks and months and years after ei you recall tlw fun-flllcd production In. which Harry Green has the commending role. "Aid lne Love Call" Is the topltner of the added attractions, a photo-color picture made in Irvington and showing the advance in coloring pictures.

besides supplying a- musical comedy romanee that Is tweet to bear. Jimmy Rogers, "The Singing also add his oongt to the program. aongs all will want to sing. The news Is Paramount, sound and silent, a sure guarantee of the best In that line. Tha talkie version of "Skin Deep-comes to the Strand on Wednesday lor a three-day run and, ss Monte Blue leads, three Mg days at the Strand are assured.

Just what constitutes a klbltaer" la graphically and very humorously shown In The KIMtacr." Harry Oreen. who has mode a rapid rise to film laurels by way of the all-talking screen, la Just the type- as ths "kibltxer" himself in this screamingly funny comedy. Oreen owns a cigar store where his cronies pity pinochle every night He doesn't take part In the gams officially, but he puts In his two cents' worth every time he thinks some one makes a false move. He Just cant help telling everybody bow to play (ha cards, for a klbltaer Is that kind of a Tha plot thickens when Oreen Is entrusted with a quantity of bonds and bo Installs a stock ticker In hla cigar store. The humor gets faster from that point onward and excitement Is at a high pitch.

Green tens everyone how ho Is going to clean up. But the stock cnaha and ha loses. Then a rebound In the plot shows that ho has mads thousands through a lucky break, and through no stroke of genius on hla part. Then the true quality of klbltslng shines through, for Oreen tells hi friends that he knew all along ha was going to win. Mary Brian, as Oreen's daughter, and Nell Hamilton, as the struggling young architect, supply the romantic phaea of the story.

Both are splendid. There Is a substantial amount of excsllent character support hr Lee Kohlmsr, Henry Fink, Ouy Oliver, Tenen Holts and Eddie Kane. -The although excruciatingly funny at every moment, is, at the same time very reaLThe characters are believable the play Is not a burlesque. That 1a why one learns definitely Just whit constitutes a klMtssr thus all arguments on the question, -what ii a klbltaer-are settled with the showing bf this great entertainment producttasL "Skin Deep" "Bkln Deep- ta a story of Ilfs In the raw. it ta a Warner Brothers' all-talking Vita phone picture and this fact makes ta possible to convey to the audience with telling effect the Impulses and reactions of the astonishing people who come and go on the screen.

The denizens of gangland are revealed very humanly. Their reactions to their environment are shown with It la shown that these outcasts of society have Impulses much the same as those of other cissies of society with which they are at war. The result ta a aeries of gripping situations which holds the Interest of the audience from the first to the final word. In addition to Monte Blue tha cast includes Davey Lee, Betty Com peon, Alice Day, John Robertson, Tully Marshall, John Bowen, Oeorgle Stone and Robert Ferry.

II jOpavatlu THE rot'NT OF LCEEMEOilttO wNb aa AH Mar (M Ituth Chstterton And Give Brook Score In Laugh ing Ltdy; Spanish Dancer Tops Vaudeville Bill -The Laughing Lady." a film version of tho play that served Ethel Barrymore a starring vehicle a tew years ago, made Us local debut at the Proctor Theatre Saturday afternoon for A four-day run.

With It came fire acts of each set entertaining enough In Its own way. The combination of Clivt BroA and Ruth Chstterton may be always relied upon to make any. picture worth whlls looking at. despite the material. This ta not to say that' "Tha Laughing Lady- ta not without its bright spots, but taken on the whole the film does not meuure up to some of the others In which his competent team hu appeared.

A new sngle Into the lives of the busy financier and hta left alone" wife ta seen In the current feature at the Proctor Theatre. The lawyer who defended the husband In a divorce action and whose masterly presentation of the evidence, which Influenced the Jury to grant tha husband a divorce and at the tame time award him tha custody of the child, tails In love with the defendant. During the trial the woman had been painted by this attorney one of tho world's wont characters. When site laughs during hta address to the Jury, he denounces her as a heartless woman who flaunts her wrongdoing in tha fact of Justice. It may seem strange that a woman would fall In love with a man who had torn her reputation to shreds and mrie such good copy for the tabloids.

But they have a way of doing that In tha movies, for you set the lawyer found out in due oourec that he was all wrong. It Is hoped that the audiences viewing this picture will not get ths Impression that newspaper repotfen act like tha one In tha film, or that a newspaper breaks a word In a headline. It's not being donei By far the beet act on tha vaudeville bill ta that of Benorita Alcanla. Assisted by a good band, a singer of more than average ability and a good dancing partner, this little lady from Spain wu accorded r. splendid ovation at the conclusion of her act.

Her dances are given In native costume against a background of elaborately mounted Spanish scenery. Jack Usher ta again with ui In hta skit, -Views On Married Lite. The sketch purports to show married life tho man thinks It, the woman thinks It, and it really it. The irhole affair ta an exaggerated bit of hokum, with a laugh here and there. The ChaveUer Brothers, no relation to Maurice, open the MU with a good 14 minutes' entertainment of strong man stuff.

The difficult feat of balancing one of the team on one foot on the other's ead wu the best In their repertoire. If, the advance publicity states, Bert Spence and Edith True are two of tho outstanding It K. O. attractions, goodness help the R. K.

O. Mr. Spsneel main stock In trade ta an ability to fan without Injuring himself. Hta Jokes might have been funny If ha had a partner of some ability. Tho Landers, Willie and Harry, hare a fairly good act and appeared to pleas the capacity Saturday nlghtl audience.

PLANS NO It, Y. POLICE CHARGES The American Civil Liberties union announced yesterday that It had been unable to Institute civil and criminal actions against policemen whom believed to be guilty of brutality at the Communist demonstration at the New York City HaU, because of the unwillingness of persons who had been beaten to testify. -Bystanders who were beaten and who know the names or shield numbers et the responsible policemen, said the union's statement, are either afraid or unwilling to start actions, and tha Communists, a matter id policy, refuse to proceed In courts which they regard prejudiced. Tha union addad that two letters to Police Commissioner Whalen ask Investigation of the police activity at tha demonstration had received only perfunctory replies.
