'tThe Aldinc has Gtuseppl Creatore as " guest conductor, and n new Hex Beach film entitled "The Iren Trail." THOSE who objected te Mr. Ileitis mnrcelled hair In "refer Ibbetson" , and, by the way, did you netire that, despite the gloomy prephcslns, thn ' Dii Mnuricr film classic stayed four weeks at the Karlton. a feat no ether film has yet achieved? will be clad te knew' that in "Kent Free.'' nt the ' 'Stanley next week, he m back te what they could term "normalcy." ! "Without wishing te disturb nnv ileepliig doss It should be registered rfght here that Wnllnce Held has shown as great an improvement In a given time as any film actor I knew of. male or female. "When I first ran into (perhaps It would be better te say !aw him en the Hereen) this hnmWnine young leading man, he was just that. Handsome, but characterless!

Always n pleasant young chap and merer actually of the "tick" variety that many of the earlier screen leading men were. Held then appeared, with punctual regularity in a number et films with CI ee Itldgley. with Kathlyn Williams, nnd in 11 few in wh'ch h held the spotlight ( pardon. . KUeglight alone. Then came the change. His vehicles from unadulterated romance veered te w comedy, exemplified in the pictured ver ver lilen of O. Henry's "Halberdier of the Little Uhelnschless." "l.clievp Me.

Reid, almost imperceptibly slipped Inte the niche vacated by "Jack'' llar llar rymerc when he became 8"tlui. and Sidney Drew when he was claimed by death. Wally lias proved conclusively that he has the farceur's instinct and , he seems te realize the correct nuances of high comedy mere than any of the younger screen set. Otherwise. It takes n stage veteran like Arllss te bring the tome sense of comedy values te a slap-etlek-tessed screen. It Is true that Held has sonic things Btill te learn yes, despite his many years before the screen in heroic pest 11 r ' lng but he seems te have the right ut tltude, and te be sincerely striving te perfect himself in legitimate fun raaklne. His "mugging" te use an old ' term anil his ability te create a comic moment by the slightest movement of the eyes or mouth, are nil things that tnmn him ns proficient in his art. "i i!
