HANDS 'CROSS THE SEA
IS SLOGAN AT GARRICK
Britons and Yanks Vie for
Honors in 'Orange Blossoms,'
New Musical Shew
Garrick It wns a case of "hands
across the sea" Inst night when Ed
ward Reyce's maiden effort a.s a pro
ducer, "Orange Blossoms," lisped its
first public address. Honors, it may be
added, were about even.
Representing the "tight little isle"
(either by birth or by long acquaint
ance) there first appeared Pat Somer
set and Rebert Michaclls. Just what
they did during the course of the evening
is hard te cstimntej as a. matter of
fnct whisper it! they didn't de much
of anything either in u dancing, singing
or comedy line, but they did it se
deucedly well, y'knew. that they quite
eclipsed the average efforts of the aver
age musical comedy leading men. Oh,
beg pardon, Mr. Michaclls did have a
dandy baritone voice which he was
allowed te use all tee seldom.
The leading lady of this brand-new-melodious
nsnult is hard te classify.
She's really an American, but she's
been sequestering se long In Londen
thnt she may be said te be "half and
half." Anyway, Edith Day Is n jim
dandy. She started mildly, but when
she disguised herself ns a homely coun
try girl could anything be mere In
congruous? nnd sang a ditty called
"In Hennequlvllle" (which came near
being the best thing in the show) she
had every one with her. nnd she kept
them there the rest of the way.
But. lest anybody think America wns
neglected, we'll say right away that it
nn.vbedy could clelm that mysterious
nnd perhaps dangerous distinction of
"stepping the show" thnt honor should
go te Queenle Smith, who danced every
where except en the orchestra leader's
head. Aiding and abetting her, though
net always successfully, was Hal Skel
ley, who was very geed when his lines
permitted,
But, then, the piny being up te Great
Britain, we find her offering Phyllis Le
Grand, a Titian beauty with a voice
and n personality.
And, eh, gosh ! we came near for
getting in mentioning these unusunlly
clever principals that a diminutive thing
named Nnncv Welford could have put
the hearts of most of her audience into
the pocket of her apron as seen ns she
appeared.
"Orange Blossoms" wasn't out until
11 :40 o'clock Inst night, Thnt was
about thirty minutes tee late, but the
audience didn't seem te mind. When
Victer Herbert, who hasn't written se
melodious a score In years, came out te
make a speech nobody seemed te caxe
if the show ended at all.
Whatever else they de we hope they
won't cut'uny of the following things
when they shorten Orange Blossoms" :
Nancy Welford.
Queenle Smith's dancing.
That joke of Skelley's about the Bur
gundy of flood-time vintage.

"BLOOD AND SAND" IS
COLORFUL FEATURE
Valentine at Best as Juan Gal-
larde "Mente Criste" Is
Stanten Feature
Stanley Leng-nwnltcd nnd much
heralded films penernlly driep dismally
en closer Inspection, but "Bleed nnd
Sand" is a plensnnt surprise. Whether
the surprlse will be se pleasant te the
Valentine worshipers nnd the rank nnd
file of screen fnns It n bit mere doubt
ful for June Mnlhls, who wrote the
scenario, hns adhered te the trnglc end
ing of the Ibanpz novel nnd the Cushlng
play, nnd net only Hint, but nrtlstry
hns been allowed te displace reugh-nnd-ready
action all the way through.
It Is n gay nnd colorful story nt the
beginning, n drnmntlc nnd interesting
one In the middle, and nn Impressively
tragic one nt the end. In fact, the
tragedy Is mere conclusive In the film
trtftn It wns en the stnge, becnure It Is
made inevitable by action nnd sub-title
all the way through, a point that was
Kissed in the Otis Skinner stage
vehicle.
Speaking of Skinner, naturally,
brings up the question of the success
or failure of Rednlph Valentine In the
role of Juan Gnlhirde, and wc find It
necessary te cquivoente. Compared with
the wonderful nuances of finer acting
with which Skinner decorated the part.
Vnlentlne's chnracteilzatlen Is cold and
spiritless. Whereas Skinner made of his
dressing scene a thing of a thousand
drnmatlc vnlucs, Valentine makes It
only a few hundred feet of film out of
six thousand. Whereas Skinner wns,
alternately, vain, pnsslennte, humorous,
Irritable, superstitious, cynlcul, child
ish, cowardly nnd hrnve, Valentine is
almost always the romantic here, with
only occasional glimpses of a pensnnt's
bupprstitfen and a bull fighter's vanity.
It's net (entirely Rodelph'R fault, and
therein lies the one real defect of Hits
exceptional picture. Miss Mntliis marred
her splendid scenario in one respect,
and tnnt may hnve been under orders.
She has reformed Gallarde and made
of him a prim nnd proper here who Is
se true te his wife that he resists the
wiles of Dena Sel up te the Inst ditch,
nnd even then only partially succumbs.
The love scenes then are laughable.
Onllnrde Is made out ns a country
"boob" Instead of a lustful child of
Ihe people. All this may be quite moral
nnd censer-proof, but It nlmest ruins
the story.
Feigetting Skinner, and forgetting
the book and plnv, we can only take
our lints off te the popular Rodelph.
He is quite the bent he has been since
"The Four Horsemen." He doesn't
pose; he doesn't strut; he doesn't piny
the rele tee scrleuMy or tee heavily.
It's n distinct improvement. Nitn
Naldi as Dena Sel Is a revelation. She
would have been the ideal vampire for
"A Foel There Wns." We only felt
sorry that her magnificent Vvnmplng"
wns lest en the stupid .Tunn. Lila Lee
was splendid, her only fault being that
nhc wns tee attractive for the role of
the wife.
The juxtaposition of real bull-ring
scenes among studio ones was only fair
ly well done.
Stanten Here's another real tonic
for surfeited movie fnns. Last year,
they drank deeply of "The Three Mus
keteers" nnd found a relief; new In
"Menle Criste," they hnve another
Dumas romance screened In n bread,
spirited wny thnt shows the films off in
their best light. , .
"Mente Criste" for mere thnn half
of Its length Is the closest thing te the
"perfect picture" Ideal thnt has been
seen here in years. Thnt It weakens
n bit therenftcr is the fault, net of the
film makers, but of Dumas himself.
Just as was the case with the novel,
Edmend's betrayal, imprisonment nnd
escnpe, were far morn Interesting nnd
better told than the Involved chapters
concerning his revenge. In fnct, the
remarkable thing Is thnt the last half
of the picture Is se fine ns It is.
But that first part ! Oh you Dnmns
levers, hew you'll revel In that! Frem
the minute thnt the Pharaoh drops
nncher in Mnrseilles harbor 'find young
Kdmend Dnntcs gees nshore te tell the
owner the news of the captain's death,
there isn't n single dull or stale mo
ment up te the moment where the snme
Kdmend Dantcs, nged by twenty years,
be-whlskercd and tottering, csenpes
from the Chateau D'lf, and. surround
ed bv flinging spray, cries, "The World
is Mine." Dramatically, plcterially
nnd nrtistlcally, It is the height of
screen power.
The latter portions of the picture arc
redeemed by some sumptuous scenes,
by some fine acting, nnd by a most re
markable bit of swerdplny between
Jehn Gilbert (ns Mente Criste) nnd
Rebert McKIm (ns Villefort) which
Inst was net In the book, but should
liave been.
Gilbert, by the wny, covered himself
with honors In the lending role. As
the cynlcnl Count he is quite the hnnd hnnd
semest piece of masculinity the films
linve known since Schlldkraut flashed
through "Orphans of the Storm." And
ns the youthful Edmend, he wns both
appealing nnd distinguished. McKIm
hns few cqunls in villainy, and he
must have felt quite nt home ns Ville
fort. William V. Meng wns the shifty
eyed Cadcreusse te the life; old Spot Spet Spot
tlsweod Aitken wns se geed in the brief
role of the Abbe Fnrla that we almost
wished they had changed the story and
let lrim live. Rnlph Clenglngcr nnd
Albert Prlsce were idenl ns Fernnnd
and Dnnglnrs In the first part. Francis
McDonald scored nn Individual hit as
Benedette. Unfertunntely, the women
were net se outstanding, though both
Estclle Tayler and Virginia Brown
Falre had their moments of great at
tractiveness. Te Emmctt J. Flynn who directed
this romantic classic, nothing but praise
is due. Many of the scenes, even In
this day of sophistication, seem nlto nlte
gcthcr tee real te be made In the studio.
This mnn Dumas seems lucky in his
screen trcntment.
Aldlne Onmes Oliver Curwood Is
nearly always pretty much the sninc,
but luckily Nature is just the opposite,
nnd Nature puts across "The Valley of
Silent Men" Inte the "success" class.
Frank Berznge proves that mountain
ranges nre just ns much within the
scope of his directerlnl ability ns the
East Side tenements of "HumereSque."
This particular story of villainy,
mounted policemen nnd snowy mountain
tops lias received treatment of such
high order thnt the uneriglnnlity of the
plot Is obscured. Alma Rubens Is mis
cast In the role of the heroine, being
scarcely the type for rugged stories of
tbls kind, but she tries desperately and
partially succeeds In winning regard.
Lew Cedy is likewise out of hir, element.
He plays the here's role, and 51 r. Cedy
is by all laws a natural exponent of

model, with points of similarity se strik
ing ns te preclude the theory of acci
dental resemblance. Onlv "The Char
lntan" gees the full length of bringing
in nn actual ghost nnd thereby stretches
the limits even of mele just a little tee
far.
The play Is named from n profes
sional magician known ns Count Cag Cag Cag
liostre n perfect example of the suave
nnd polished geiitlcmnn, almost like
Edcsen's 8wnml in "Haunted" of nwful
memory. The chnrlatan performs a
trick before a ricli man's guests; he has
his wife enter n cnbinet and a moment
Inter the cabinet is opened nnd she hns
disappeared. Loud applause. But
later she Is found in the secret com
partment, dend poisoned by a needle
shoved through the weed Inte her back.
Mystic East Indian poison nnd all that.
Who did it? That's what they want te
find out.
Of course Cagllostre is accused, and
equally of course we knew he didn't,
for we like him nnd they aren't nllewed
te prove guilty nny mnn we like. Se
they introduce n let of queer people te
keep the suspicion well scattered, and
they turn out the lights nnd sheet re
volvers nnd crnck safes and stagger In
nfter struggles in the dnrk and quite
generally keep us nil stirred up nnd
wondering who in Sam Hill did kill th'
gell after all. But that's telling just
ns it wns in the "Bat."
It is all well done nnd gives us some
extremely geed acting of the mellow
mele Kchnel, l'.YfJ model. Frederick
Tidun could scarcely be better than he
is in the role of Cagllostre, and Wil
liam Podmerc is uncanny in his realism
as a stunted East Indian servant.
Kathleen Bolten Is n reformed -creek
servant girl te the life, nnd Lilly May
iiuuunni nees tne cemeuy stult with a
Miles Mlntcr has the rele of a young fine sense of what is really funny. And
wife who gees te a Pacific Island nnd
finds her husband hns degenerated into
n drunken nnd Inzy geed-for-nothing
under the well -known Influence of tropic
sun nnd tropical rum. Walter Leng Is
especially fine ns the dissolute husband
nnd Jehn Bewers plays the part of a
young planter who protects her. The
settings nnd the beautiful photography
far transcend the interest of the rather
haclcneyed story.
sp praise can be f.hewered all down the
list uiirr inruth nnd 1'lerce Benten,
Henry Vincent and Mndelln La Vnrrc,
who gets murdered entirely tee seen.
They ought te hnve murdered one of the
less ernamentnl people.
"The Charlatan" is a geed opener
for the season. But. like nil melo
dramas of mystery und like gift hersee,
they shouldn't be examined from a
dental viewpoint.
