WITH THE now lamiliar "Vitaphone accompaniment," the venerable melodrama by Charles Klein which thrilled a multitude of theatergoers a quarter o( a century ago "The Lion and the Mouse" was brought to life as a motion picture last Friday evening at the Warner Theater.

I use the phrase "brought to life" advisedly, for, having had two whole days In which to consider the matter carefully and, I fear, studiously, I am Inclined to seriously doubt that there was much life In the old play in the first place. For "The Lion and the Mouse." you will remember, or can you?) was all about "a wolf of Wall Street," a veritable ghoul who robbed the graves of honest men's ainbitions-a cold, calculating knave who reformed finally "Good News' I k' 'A i I AMUSEMENTS BROOKLYN.

They wasted not the barley crop; Nor drunk so weak a thing as pop; Such stuff would never bring a glow, In days of old. On every corner was a shop; Where they sold steins Of liquid hop.

This, you will remember, Is still being written prior to the close of the convention, so if its just a teeney weeney bit anti-climactic, forgive us, for we know well what we do. Anyway, we thought It was funny and hence we unravel if for the edification, we hope, of the customers. Rumors, in Kansas City, being the order of the day. we weren't the least bit surprised when Bill (Eagle) Woodford dashed in last night with the news that Leader Hilles was reported pretty sick.

This was no rumor, and after feeling duly sorry for Mr. Hilles. we. and this time we were accompanied by Henry Suydam. making it an actual we, started off for dinner.

As we made our way through the lobby of the Muehlebach Hotel, which is a nice hostelry, but which has altogether too many letters in It for spelling in comfort, we were beset by an excited reporter. "Have you heard the news?" he wheezed. We admitted we hadn't. "Hilles is reported dead, he gushed. "Yeah." retorted Henry Suydam, who knows his politics like we know our pink ones "on the second ballot.

I presume." And thus did we depart -for dinner. Thinking over the Kansas City ruckus, we can't help but reflect on the genuine courtesy that was shown us, and furthermore, on the simply marvelous organization that the Western Union outfit seems to be able to throw into any given breach on any sort of notice at all. If, out of the whole affair, there remains any unpassed laurel, we earnestly suggest that it be handed that company. First, by reason of its commendable couriesy. its unbelievable ability and its 24-hour cheerful service.

You have merely to breathe. Intimate or suggest that there will be copy for filing at a given hour, and a veritable battery of smartly uniformed boys is at your elbow at the appointed hour. Capable Western Union officials, whose jobs apppcar to be solely to make you feel like a combination of big bankers from the West, and King George the Fifth, assiduously anticipate your every need and copy pops oft on scheduled time with all the smoothness, ease mid quietude imaginable. Western Union bovs are to your right, to your left, behind you and ahortrl of you, beating the facility of the Geni system of yore, a thousand ways. Nor Is this itist a fact In the large cities.

For this department, desirous of "filing" stories from the train, had but to indicate that desire to Western Union headquarters, and at towns that didn't comprise more than a general store and a church, a beaming, brlnht-eyed ollve-rtrab clad son of speed anneared as though from nowhere, whisked our ropy off to a waiting wire, and that was that. How It is possible to throw such an organization together, on sii''h short order, we don't know. But that it most assuredly is possible, and was done, we'll cheerfully attest. ODDS AND ENDS.

You will perhaps see from this that the play by the veteran Klein was something less than a mauve decade edition of a Pulitzer Prize composition.

Be that as it may, the film tran-srriptlon of the piece at the Warner Theater is not without its compensating features. Primarily the reincarnated melodrama is interesting as an example of that amazing innovation, the "talking movie." It should be mentioned that a considerable portion of "The Lion and the Mouse" is given over to "audible dialogue." which is to say that a number of the lines are actually spoken by the principals Involved. Thus, Lionel Barrymorc. who plays the unscrupulous John "Ready Money" Ryder, Is given an opportunity to express himself in words as well as the usual gesticulations employed In the more orthodox silent drama. It must be said in favor of the Vitaphone that these words emerge with a surprising clearness, but it must also be mentioned (and this is certainly not a mechanical fault, that the lines spoken by Mr.

Barrymore and the others in the cast are of the smallest consequence imaginable. For example Mr. Barrymore to William Collier, in one of the more spellbinding scenes: "So, you come like a thief In the dark to break open my desk. Give me that letter" "I didn't take the letter, Dad; I swear I didn't take it." "You lie! Cive me that letter or I swear I'll never have anything more to do with you." "I'm not lying. Dad.

I haven't got the letter, and you can take that or leave it alone." "You're (with a curling Barrymore sneer 1, a liar!" Ahd subsequently In a galvanizing scene with Mr. Barrymore and May McAvoy: "So, you're the daughter of Judge Rossmore. eh: and you're scheming to marry my son, are you? Well, how much will you take to stay away?" "How dare you speak to me of money! I love your son and I'd marry him if he didn't have a cent in the world. You're drunk with your own power, the kind that wrecks honest men's careers. Well, (business of snapping fingers that's hat I think of your power!" And that, largely, is "The Lion and Hie Mouse." Technically, it may be described as a rather workmanlike effort as far as the reproduction of Its sound effects is concerned.

Dramatically, it is nothing to get excited about. In its acting departments the work of the more stage-experienced Lionel Barrymore. of course, overshadows the earnest but ineffective efforts of Miss McAvoy and the yonnger Mr. Collier. But "The Lion and the Mouse." If It does nothing else, indicates a grad-I ual improvement in the audible photoplay.

Yvonne Clara R.w "Red" Rirhnrd Arlen Marie Helen Lvnrh "Solt Annie" Mary Alden Joe Carl Gerard The Mother Bodil Rosing Little Yvonne Lorraine Rivero The Cmcer James Pierce One of the more Interesting phases of "Ladies of the Mob." the new photoplay at the Paramount Theater, is that its author, Ernest Booth, is serving a life sentence In Folsom Prison, California. It was the unfortunate Booth, whose identity has now been reduced to a series of numerals stenciled upon the back of a grav denim coat, who not so long ago contributed to the American Mercury an essay startlingly titled. "We Rob a Bank." It was while Booth was engaged (in advertently) in accumulating the nec essarv material for that vivid narra tive that he was apprehended by the lorces of the law and subsequently consigned to the bastile. "Ladies of the Mob," It appears. Is a pictorial interpretation of the American Mercury narrative.

How ever, it must be told in the interests of truth and, what is more important the interests of Mr. Booth's literary ability, that the picturization does not begin to do justice to what was really a brilliant piece of writing. For, as tnose who read the original composition in Mr. Mencken's magazine will remember, "We Rob a Bank" was an honest, straightforward, singularly dramatic exposition: the picture succeeds only occasionally in capturing its realistic, confessional flavor. The first two or three reels of "Ladles of the Mob" are perhaps a fair enough reproduction of the events originally described by the author those dealing with the movements of the gang immediately preceding the bank robbery.

But, thereafter, the film is entirely too reflective of the less inspired contributions of the scenario writer. It moves in the all too familiar channels of the usual "underworld" melodrama, sacrificing realism to mere sensationalism and, Inevitphly. the moral-pointing preachment 01 all self-conscious movie melodramas that "crooks can't win." But. as far as It goes, "Ladies of the Mob" is a more than usually absorbing melodrama. It has, it may be mentioned, the advantage of it least two excellent performers in Clara Bow and Ptchnrrt It hps also the benefit rf the fremientlv Imaginative direction of William Wellman, the capable megaphonist of "Wines."

He was a member of the theatrical society and also wrote one of the most successful college plays. Immediately after graduation he went on the stage, and appeared for two years in theatrical and motion picture work. He also played in stock in Cleveland, in which city he lived for 15 years. His first motion picture work was with Vitagraph. in 1912.

He also toured the country in a vaudeville sketch. He later appeared in important parts in several pictures. When the war broke out Menjou enlisted as a private in the American Ambulance Corps, with the first and only Cornell unit to go across. After leaving the Army, from which he was discharged with the rank of captain, he served lor while as production manager for a producer in New York. Later he went back to the acting.

In the beginning she rebuffs the hero's advances with a sock in the jaw. In the end she succumbs to the lure of his uniform of an opera bouffe prince.
