Lardner can furnish more good laughs- to the minute -than Rihgling and the 'Smith Brothers, combined, Now oomes June Moon," Which Ring and hie friend George 8. Kaufman wrote, that opened bo-' fore an Mlayfaus audience at the Befeuco last night The Somewhat squeezed out of their accustomed places by a huge aggregation of screen celebrities. Interested Cleve brother of Colleen, in the entrancing role of an inspired song-writer with great ambitions.

THE PLOT Schenectady -cradled a lad with a yearning for song-writing, and oh, what grand ideas came to that yodhg man. Aftd when at last he started for Broadway with his ambitions wrapped lip in his music roll, it looked like the world was fail oyster. Then came a girUShe dropped right into the parlor car where he was sitting! it was love! Perfect, GOtham had-other things to offer this gent -from Schenectady, including a designing, but beautiful dame. Complications can came even to a song-plugger, and so it Is these knotty happenings that make June Moon such a wow of a show. Sometimes tbe'llBqs of the play are obscured by an hysterical audience that cannot seem to settle long enough to listen to the words.

Funny as the' dialogue is, it would be just as amusing In pantomime. The story Is a satirical tale of disappointed women, heartaches and love In the typical You-know-me-A1 style. Mr. Kaufman, who staged the piece, made no mistake In the easting of it. Cleve Moore, a talented young fellow, proved a -comedy sensation In the naive character of Fred Stevens, who talked In lyrics and American as if Is epoke.

WIIO TIIEY ARE. Nancy Dover, a charming little thing, with widY-open ores and' a belief in Cupid, made an idyllic subject for ipsptred young authors. James Spottswood, who was seen here in The Lady Next Door with Isabel Withers, was the sympathetic figure of a struggling composer whose lack of finances failed to hold his wise-cracking wifes affections. In the character of Lucille, Edith Van Cleve distinguished herself, for here was a woman who was provided with just the right number of sar castle remarks to offset any mans ega Ruth Abbott as the goM-digglng gal with past, wore her clothes smartly and her good looks as-' sured her of a future. Murray Smiths agility at tickling was exceptional, but his nonchalant observance of human frailties was a highlight of this show.

TRAGIC DEATH OF DIRECTOR IS RECALLED BY FILM The last production to be made for William Fox by the late Kenneth Hawks, who lost his life while the picture was being filmed, opened yesterday at the Fox Up town. Such Men Are Dangerous, an all-talking plcturizatlon. of the Elinor Glyn story, is the. film In which Hawks was killed when two planes crashed in the air sequences of the story. NEGRO, QUARTET XT 1 TOWER THEATE of Harmony, negro quartet which has caused such a sensation in vaudeville and in musical presentations at such theaters as Graumans Chinese, are now an important sequence in Song of the West, which is at the Tower theater.

By ELEANOR TERRIFIC, so dramatic and with a twO and a half hour driving cry. agaihst idodem All Quiet on the Western FpntH. last night fairly shocked fllm fans at Cartlay Circle when it was premiered, If there was a playtime to bring about permanent peace, this Universal picture; directed by Lewis.

GRIM SPECTER It takes a strong physical constitution to stand -far the pressure of this picture, which makes no attempt to conceal the grim specter -of-war-beneatbrnsneoating of There may be comedy in All -Quiet," but if there is, the ghastly spectacle of trench life so completely overshadows It that it loses all contrasting power. Maxwell Anderson, who with Lawrence Stallings offered What Price Glory?" adapted and, dialogued ueorge Abbotts screen story of the Remarque book, while Del Andrews wrote the' continuity and C. Gardner Sullivan supervised the story, later edited by Edgar Adams. SHOULDER Perhaps to call All Quiet on the Western Front, a story, is incorrect. Maybe it be better to refer to it an engagement does pot follow any one sdldiefs career, -but it takes a group of youths from their schoolbooks to the trenches, where they meet other German men at They shoulder guns nd fight the allies with exactly the same 'gnthusnasm that the A.

E. F. met the war. War pictures in the past have Shown intimate and excruciatingly real scenes in barbed wire entanglements; there have been many films showing machine gunners in action; air fights are not an innovation, but the ghastly details of conditions in the trenches with rats gnawing at the soldiers' food; frightening nightmares of soldiers being bayonetted to death; gruesome shrapnel-wounded lads being carried behind the lines by com- radesT'. all of the starkness that has marked the morbid foreign films, make this production outstanding.

FOR ALL THAT And for all that. It has charm, sweetness. The "brutality is not personal, there are no real fiends, merely circumstances that force conditions. This picture brings out the his-trionism of many actors. Louis Wolhelms homely face at times wears a benevolent mask- when he ministers -to a youth-In.

I V' SHOULD PLEASE ALL A simple, dignified picture, faithfully recording the voice of a great artist, is 'Song o' My which introduces McCormack to the talk- ing screen. It is written and acted with unfailing good taste and a becom-7' ing air of reality- Another vital factor is That the warmth and richness' of his voice come un- changed to the talking screen.

Rarely does one picture have so many dementi that are pleasing. The recording is splendid and the songs, which, arc ingeniously an intrinsic part of this plot; are a sheer delight.
