Volkwein'a Musicals. 111 the picture called "Flesh," Mr. Wallace Beery falls in asrain with the screen's greats and near-greats as a slow-witted, sentimental wrestling waiter in a German beer garden. It is a credit to this actor's instinctive skill that he has been able to make this dunderhead of dunderheads a believable, sympathetic and entirely credible figure a big hulk of a man with the heart of a child. It is a portrait so cleverly conceived and executed that, despite the photoplay's somewhat trying qualities, "Flesh" becomes one of the screen's major acting sermons.

Yet Mr. Keery, wrininc the role dry, actually makes this Polakai a living creature, a thing of real flesh and blood. He makes you believe in Folakai's dumbness. He makes you accept, without question, his dull-witted sentimentality. He makes you certain that such a blundering fool as this could really exist.

And near the end, he sits in a shabby little room, torn between his love for a faithless wife and his thwarted determination to play straight in the wrestling ring, he is both moving and touching, bringing a ringing despair, a note of pathos to a dramatic passage. The narrative itself has to do with Tolakai's love for the pretty sweetheart of a worthless crook.

This was the piece, you may remember, that Francine Larrimore once considered. Harry Bannister apparently wasn't fooling when he said that he'd make an immediate production of the Audrey Carten play now known as "The Day After." Rehearsals started Saturday morning with a cast that includes L'rsula Jeans, John Buckler, Winifred Harris, Daisy Belmore and Reginald Carrington.

This is ilr. Bannister's first fling at producing and naturally he's quite excited about it. J. P. McEvoy is writing a flock of new material for the road tour of "Americana." Phil Baker will be with the revue when it takes to the road.

It so happens, however, that profit comes before pride in the movie colony and young Junior and Papa Laemmle finally decided, after much heming and hawing, that the only-way they could hope to get any money back on their heavy story investment was to put it on the screen. "We'll make it," Junior was quoted as saying some time ago, "but, of course, without much of the satire" an unreliable quotation, by the way, it turns out. For "Once in a Lifetime" comes to the screen with all of its satire intact.

McNamee reports many other important and interesting events in the newsreel, including- the march of the "hunger army" through the streets of Washington and the exceptional police precautions taken to prevent rioting; the arrival of the new Italian liner, Conte Di Savoia, on her first trip to New York, and the demonstration of a new g-asoline-propelled coach which is expected to take the place of trains in commuting service. Try-outs of two new aerial developments, an Knglish baby plane which costs $300 and flies at 45 miles an hour with a six-horse power motor, and an Italian plane that looks like a flying: barrel but is unusually stable and safe; scenes in a big distillery showing the feverish preparations under way to increase the stock of whisky now on hand in the United States in preparation for the possible repeal of prohibition, and a water carnival celebrating the opening of the winter sports season at Coral Gables, sre interesting additions to toe newsreel. The All-American college football team, picked by the Ail-American Board of Football, a group of the best known gridiron mentors in the country, is exclusively presented in the current issue of the Post-Gazette Universal Newsreel, with a vivid description of the selected players and their outstanding plays by Graham McNamee, world-famous sports announcer and the screen's Talking Reporter.
