"It's all right," John Erskine told us enthusiastically when we asked him how he liked his story in flicker form and we agreed heartily. The titles are the funniest the most spontaneous and the mast side-splitting we've tver been privileged to roar at which we did for example "The human knee used to be a joint, but now it'3 an entertainment" Another "Mairiage Is giving up the attentions of a dozen men lor the inattentions of one" and there are fifty more as good but Martin Dickstein will tell you about 'em more than likely Few Celebs in the audience which after all is our department STORY.

The first week of March "The Circus" will be seen by Londoners for the first time, at the New Gallery Klnrma. The national release date on "The Circus" is January 21. 1928. Preierving Symmetry Mary Eaton, star of "The Five o'clock Girl," will give a lesson, for the benefit of the girls In the rhorus, on the stage of the 44lh St. Theater before the matinee next Wednesday, demonstrating her method of "practicing" toe dancing, which is guaran teed not to Impair the shapeliness of the dancer legs.

Other Muic. Yesterday afternoon at the Enbl-neertng Auditorium. Adam Kuryllo gave a violin recital, accompanied by Miss Helen Chase. He opened his program with an arrangement by himself ot Pindaro's "Hymn to Apollo" and a Sonata in flat by Mozart, followed it with the Bruch Concerto in Minor and concluded with a diversified group. Mr.

Kuryllo plays well, with a nicely resonant quality of tone and a good sense of style. Another of the matinee recital IsU was Miss Lillian Magnuson, who entertained an audience at the Guild Theater with piano music. A Bach- Busonl Chorale, a Scarlatti sonata, two numbers by Brahms. Chopin's flat Minor Sonata and a group devoted to Palragren and Liszt composed her slated offerings. In the Chopin Miss Magnuson achieved no more than a rough sketch of ius subtle and significant utterances.

Technically proficient. It was in in terpretation that she tailed to give a satisfactory or coherent reading. The Vertchamp String Quartet at the John Golden Theater gave an enjoyable program: a Quartet in flat bv Mozart, Dvorak's Quartet in Major and a piece by Ernest Bloch entitled "In the Mountains." Thi playing of this organization is marked by its appreciative sense of revealed in each of these different works in their turn. The players have unity of purpose and conception; their tone quality in ensemble is well proportioned: they phrase intelligently and perform with a spirit that speaks for their stuay of and comprehensive acquaintance with the music which they elect to play. a In the evening our attention was drawn to a pair of baritones.

At the Gallo Theater. Walter Leary presented a conventional program, beginning with an Invocation by Perl and an aria from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" and continuing with lieder by Brahms and Strauss. French songs by Lully. Moreau and Poldowski. and songs in English by Hageman.

Wood-side and Homer. His group of lieder was expressively done, well contrasted moods successfully caught and conveyed to his hearers. He vas accompanied by Emil Polak. The recital of Beniamino Ricclo at the Bijou Theater was quite unconventional in its construction, and perhaps, for that reason, of more interest. It was devoted entirely to the Russian composers, among whom ere found the familiar names of Rachmaninoff.

Gliere, Gretchaninow, Mous-sorgskv, KarganofT. Rubinstein, Tsch-aikowsky and Borodine. Mr. Ricclo is that type of recitalist who augments his interpretations with dramatic mannerisms and a vocal style that we are accustomed to hearing on the operatic stage. There were in abundance sobs, sighs and emotional breaks of tone not -without descriptive effects but indulged in too frequently.

Mr. Riccio's voice is of good quality, his musical instincts are excellent. Mme. Nina Massell (nee Dimitrieffi accompanied, and a young American pianist. Miss Helen Schaf- meister, was the assistant artist in a erouD of solos, also by Russian com posers, that proved in keeping with the rest of the program.

France Alda in a son recital at Car- ific Hall yesterday afternoon. The aftav may be described as a success. There are those who regard Mme. Alda adventures In Hi opera with some reluctance-just why. it is hardly our business at the moment to report.

It Is only nec-estary to comment that in the concert hall her advantage, both of personality and mustctu equipment, is great, and that one heard her yesterday with the greatest of pleasure, wondering the while why it is that Mme. Aida does not more frequently essay to entertain along these lines, the song exacts less than the aria; the frame is small of her and her guts appear to better advantage within It. tone has excellent interpretative sense; her diction is pertect in an languages; she can design a worthy and unharkned program. Yesterday it embraced airs by Haendel and Bishop, lieder by Blech and Wolf, a Rachmaninoff song, French numbers by Hue, Chausson and Leormand, songs from the singers native Australia and by her accompanist, Mrs. La Forge.

Of necessity, we could not tarry long with Mme. Alda. much as we should have enjoyed so doing. There were nine other concerts on the cal endar for the afternoon, and of these a number demanded attention. One could not quite overlook the English Singers, offering a program of motets.

madrigals and carols, in the Town Hall. Their performance seemed once again Inimitably artful, a rare recreation of an antique and charming mode. The audience in the Town Hall was large and clamored wilfully for more than the program promised them. The Singers were generous and dispensed encores plentifully. At the Metropolitan Opera House Mr.

Mengelberg conducted a matinee of the Philharmonic Orchestra. In a Beethovian mood he offered the third "Leonora" Overture, the Second and the Fifth Symphonies. Whatever lapses we have recently leit called upon to deploie in Mr. MengeiDergs behavior, it would be impossible to deny that yesterday he was in fine fettle. His robust and athletic style fits him as an interpreter of Beetho ven, in hose music, as Romaine Rol- land remarked, the out-of-doors is always present.

Mr. Mengelberg is securely at home with the vigors of the Fifth Symphony; he demands, and gets, of it a pulsing, dramatic performance, making no errors of taste, since the music offers small opportunity for such slips. It is music that plants its elbows on the table and east with both hands tragic, grandiose, yes. but spiritually rough-hewn. The audience was sizable and enthusiastic.

In the evening an interesting program of songs was sung by Lucilla de Vescovi, at the John Golden Theater. Miss de Vescovi achieves at her recitals an atmosphere of smart modernity; she has a gift for selecting unusual and provocative music. It is a pity therefore that she lacks the essential gifts of a singer voice and interpretative instinct. Perhaps she makes up for these deficiencies in the novelty of what she has to offer and the manner in which it is offered. She was accompanied last evening bv Wilfred Pellitier.

and had as assisting artist Aida Grassell, pianist. The concert at the Opera House was a benefit for the Brooklyn Children's cma Air cmn Association. A num- ber of Mr. Gattt-Casazza's young I American singers participated: Mr. Winter Day.

He wrote many, many books about lads who started from the bottom and rose to success and fame.

He wai read In the farmhuouse, poorhouse, schoolhouse and his volumes sold in the millions, we can saieiy say.

The author has written to about 200 captains of Industry and men successlul today in meir varijuj trades and professions, asking them whether they read tne boons nora-1 tlo Alger wrote when they were young, and whether they consider that these books spurred them on ts success. From the replies, he is now writing a chapter which snouia give considerable amusement to the reader." The largest prize ever offered for a purely literary work, I25.0O0 In cash, goes to Katharine Holland Brown of Qulncy. Illinois, for her novel, 'The Father." The sponsors of the contest, the Woman's Home Companion and the John Day Company, offer two awards.

If the novel failed 'j mention that Sparta was such an up-and-coming metropolis that traffic cops were necessary at its busier f.reet crossniEs. or that one of the main reasons for the Trojan war was because the cloak-and-suit merchant! of Troy were stealing the trade ot Spartan ladies, the film version somehow incorporates these Items withotr.

What the pi -hire at the Globe doe3 reveal is a sort of pictonalized paps-lcv-mama narrative in the appropriate toggery of the ancient Greeks. This. Inttrspersed with frequent captions of modem wlse-erarkery. succeeds in producing a droll if not quite brilliant effect. Representing as It does the screen's first real attempt at satire, it must be said in all fairness that The Private Life of Helen of Trov" comes as a refreshing relief from the silent drama's more familiar and less engacing studies of the triangular problem In modern clothes The role of Helen is capably handled bv the beautiful and blond Hungarian actress.

Lewis Stone, sui'bly divested of his moustache, makes an agreeable and occasionally amusing Menelaos. while Georie Fawcett, looking strangely out of place in a generous Greek toga, plavs the abbreviated part of Eteoneus. the old gate keeper. Ricardo Cor-tez Is Paris, a role that would anpear to be slightly beyond the reach of this too self-concerned actor.

Add to this account that "Helen of Trov" has been most beautifully mounted and that the running fire of subtitles, while often analogous, are nevertheless amusing, and you can hut deduce that the film version of the Erskine novel should offer you a rather pleasant 00 minutes of your time.

Preceding the main film attraction is a finely staged atmospheric prologue, so called, presumably, because it bears a not undtseemible relationship to the theme of the movie itself. Easily the most pretentious of Mr.

Hyman's stage incidents is "The Jazz Carnival." a presentation which endeavors to be Just what its title Implies. In this number, which, incidentally, has been staged in an uncommonly attractive manner by Managing Director Hyman. may be seen Kimm and Ross, Carlo and Norman, Bob Stickney. Charles Jolley, Restivo and, to mention not the least eniov-able of them all, the Mark Strand Dancing Girls. Still another staye offering at the Strand this week is "Souvenir," a charming vehicle for three violinists who appear to have their hearts and their strings in their work.

The overture, for those moviegoers who are interested is selections from Rossini's "William Tell." At the Capitol. THKATItl'.

Wnltlmil IVr.v William I'ttnrm! Niu-fl I'tillv Momn Ktl'H Tii llllilift iltlimin The Stranner Lon Chaney continues his spell weaving at the Capitol Theater this week In "London After Midnight," a melodrama of such eerie prospect! as vampires who assume the form of winged rodents, corpses arisen from the grave, haunted houses and a master mind from Scotland Yard. Those who have a weakness for this sort of thing will probably find It amply stimulating, while those who prefer a milder form of entertainment are warned that "London After Midnight" possesses few mitigating qualities. Capitollans will find here the strange and dreadful revelations of a murder case whose victim seemingly came to his end by his own hand, but who actually was killed by but that would be telling the story. It remains, five years after the commission of the crime, for the Scotland Varder Burke 'and aren't they all of that same Gaelic cognomen! to ferret out the murderer by means of reproducing the scene of the crime and then hypnotising the suspect into re-enacting his homicidal performance. As mystery photodramas go (and this would appear to be the open season for opera of the sort) "London After Midnight" manages to arhicve its purpose of spine-chilling.

The suspense has been admirably maintained to the last and the dependable Mr. Chaney obligingly applies a figurative bit of ice to the vertebrae by walking in and out of scenes In properly horrifying makeup. The director. Tod Browning, has not been quite as successful in mounting the picture to the best atmospheric advantage, which is to say that he hasn't obtained the Intensely weird effect which was present in "The Cat and the Canary." for example. However, the story here is sufficiently absorbing to offset whatever weakness may be found in its staging.

Conrad Nagel. Henrv B. Walthall and Marcellne Day adequately portray the supporting characters. It is pleasant to report also that there Is none of the usual s'upid comedy relief in "London After Midnight" to mar its sinister and creepv scheme. That ought to make It the outstanding mystery film of the year.

Prominent on the stage program at the Capiol this week is a lavishly conceived revue called "Bagdad." which combines such entertaining features as the Silvertown Quartette. Teddv Joyce, the Six Capitol Steppers and the Chester Hale Girls. Another presentation offers a tabloid impression of "Samson and Delilah." Introducing Madame Elsa Stralia. Australian soprano. "Jedermann" Stayt "Jedermaim," the Hofmannsthal version of "Everyman." has duplicated the success of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The public demand to witness this Reinhardt production at the Century has greatly exceeded the number of performances which had been allocated to it In the repertory, so Gilbert Miller induced Prof.

Reinhardt to postpone his production of "Servant of Two Masters" and to continue "Jedermann" at the Century throughout all of this week. On Monday evening. Dec. 19. Reinhardt will make the third production of his New York season with "Dan-ton's the sensational and spectacular drama of the French Revolution by Georg Buchner.
