12 A THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK. MONDAY, MARCH 18, The Theater the Day excluded tho sixth sen.se until IU ultimate moments had been reached. Mr. Vllan's drama would hav benefited by the curlier Introduction of Intelligence. Music of By EDWARD ARTHUR POLLOCK- "Buckaroo," New Play at Erlanger's, lias Too Much Local Color and Too Little Skill.

TF "BUCKAROO" is an imitation ot "Broadway," riillip Dunning and I George Abbott have no reason anulysls would not be damning, but neither would thoy enrournio one place Mine. Luboschutz anions one's favorite violinists. The accompanist yesterday v. us Harry Kaulman. At the Town Hall the Flonzaley Quartet meanwhile made iU farewell appearance, assisted In a program of Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann by Ernest Schclllng, pianist.

The concert was given for the benefit of the Musicians' Foundation, ani was attended by a large audience eager to enjoy for a last time the playing of this famous ensemble, now passing out of existence after a career covering a quarter of a century. a In the evening a very entertaining pair of dancers, M. Senia Gluck and Felicia Sorel, appeared at the too weak an imitation to occasion nngor. When the r'ay came to Erlanger's Theater last Spturday niht it was evident that a great deal of love and considerable money had been lavished on it. And, aside from their taking "Broadway" as in "Night Hostess" the authors, A.

Beniam'mo Gigli in Concert Lea Luhoschutz, Violinist, and Some Sunday Dancers A Philharmonic Matinee. IN HIS customary good spirits Mr. Gigli trotted out upon the stage of the Century Theater yesterday afternoon at about 3 o'clock and sang one of Faust's airs from "Mtflstofeles." In front of him were the representatives of his public that the auditorium would accommodate, and behind him were a hundred or so more, the capacity ol the Century stage. As a demonstration of poke, Mr. Glglt nodded to the right and left and waved a hand row and then at some friend.

He was in fine form. Back after some strenuous touring of the hinterlands, taced by no troublesome repetition of Mafia threats, whetted for work by a bracing day, he did some lusty singing. Having tossed ofl Boito, he turned to a group of songs by Danza, De Curtis, Mascagnl and Setsmlt-Doda, and then abandoned the floor to his assisting artist, Margaret Shotwell, a pianist. Later, both before and after an intermission, Mr. Gigli returned and added more songs and arias to those already mentioned.

Miss Shotwell also had further opportunity to play Chopin and Bcahan, have trL'd very Hard to turn out something striking and unusual. By way of attaining the unuhiihl they have set themselves the tajk of dramatizing life behind the scenes of a rodeo. It is a tame rodeo, First, the cowboys, the cowfiils and their many visitors talk incessantly, and their talk Is seldom pointed or pungent. And yet they go AT THE Polly Moran and Kalla Pasha aeiiamy i rial. Reverting on talking as if every word they, uttered were a Jewel of great price.

For the rest, there is a live bucking bronco on the stacc, a bit of roping, a bit of bronco-busting, a few minutes of knife-throwing and a successful murder. Also a Chicago gangster tries to deflower a girl, which is meant as sex-appeal. And two girls, an honest cowgirl from Cowbell Canyon, Idaho, and a slick, slim racketeer from Chicago's underworld, have a rough-and-tubmlc fight all over the stage in which the loser literally loses her shirt. Nevertheless, "Buckaroo" is slow and ponderous. The intentions throughout are of the best save for that intention to achieve the effectiveness of "Broadway" by "Broadway's" own means.

As in that earlier success, hero and heroine are performers, rodeo riders this time instead of night club entertainers. As in "Broadway," too, performers are appearing and disappearing continuously in the performance of their duties as entertainers of an unseen audience; a gang leader is hovering about for no good purpose; a calm detective likewise hovers about, but for the good purposes; and the villain Is finally put out of the way by the brother of the girl he killed instead of by tho sweetheart of the man he bumped off. Whereupon, the detective, a good fellow, as in "Broadway," fixes it so that the sympathetic murderer will not have to pay the penalty for his crime. In the end the body of the murdered man is carried out and left in a car Instead of being carried out and left in a car, as in "Broadway," at the play's beginning. Too much of the rest of the action of "Buckaroo" consists of a slow, unsteady and amateurish application of local color.

What shall I be thinking now Of the things you do Shall I twist around somehow Untrue things and true? Love is fire to the heart, Numbness to the brain; Mind and heart are torn apart All to passion's gain.

Their performance, rooted in the mne traditions of the Russian ballet (as embodied in the work of the Deni-shawns) was a relief from the tedium of the pseydo-mystic and pseydo-phllosophic art dance whose practice prevails at a majority of similar recitals. Mr.

Gluck and Miss Sorel were quite content to confine themselves to a wholly Intelligible program, Including "Leda and the Swan," "Faun and Nymph," "Bed ouins Dance," Puppet Sarcasms," and so forth. The titles ol these offerings Indicate their type and variety. It is only necessary to add that both Mr. Gluck and Miss Sorel are proficient exponents of their chosen art and that their performance was agreeably diverting. a a Another pair of dancers, Dcme-trlos Vilan and Margaret Severn, offered "The Sixth Sense," a dance-drama in two acts, at the Guild Theater in the evening.

The music for this presentation was composed by Dorothy Herbert and was played by the McGlll Orchestra. Costumes and settings were the work of John Vassos. "The Sixth Sense," conceived and staged by Mr. Vilan, represented man's acquisition of of sight, touch, hearing, smell, taste and intelligence. It was unfortunate that the nature of this conception AMUSEMENTS MANHATTAN.

Ethel McConnell Flnkelsteln Bert Wilcox Eliot Blaine Robert A. Beyers Frisky George Bpelvln, III. are a few real cowboys in the large company. Most of the work is done by Nydia Westman, who plays in that now familiar manner of hers; by Ruth Easton, who is effective as the lady racketeer; by James Bell as a dumb but upright and expert bronco-buster; by Clyde Dilson as the conscienceless gangster, and by Violet Dunn, whom he wants to take for a ride in his big car. Taking girls for rides in his big car seems to be his racket.

It is a racket a little too ghastly to permit this comic melodrama to be altogether pleasing. There is not nearly enough bounce In "Buckaroo." DICKSTEIN: "Looping the Loop" at permitted to occupy a ringside seat at a Texas Guinan seance, of being allowed to wander behind the scenes occasionally and even of being an eye-witness to a speakeasy shooting, is less than a guarantee that you will find "Queen of the Night Clubs" a fascinating or even a moderately interesting movie. As a matter of fact, the picture at the Strand is about the poorest In the series of cabaret-underworld specimens that the screen has offered. Its story (concerning a night hostess faced with the problem of clearing her own son of a charge of murder) is a carelessly thrown together affair which never quite manages to make sense. Its direction is slipshod and unimaginative, while the dialogue is banal to the extent of dullness.

The characters who are directly connected with the central incident of the story are never definitely established, with the result that the narrative, as it stumbles along, becomes increasingly confusing. To be sure, Texas Guinan gives a commensurately vivid Impersonation of Texas Guinan (in the picture she is referred to as Texas Malone) and one cannot say that her voice is not altogether suitable to the requirements of the Vitaphone. But anything like a dramatic characterization is absent from her performance and, consequently, you are likely to lose interest in the lady after the first few scenes. The rest of the cast includes Eddie Foy Lila Lee (returned to the screen after several years' absence), Jack Norworth, John Miljan and Lee Shumway. The younger Foy succeeds in getting in a few impressive moments in his portrayal of a vaudeville hoofer, but the others are no better than their incredible roles demand.

The picture was directed by Bryan Foy, whose previous accomplishments, it is but fair to report, include many films superior to "Queen of the Night Clubs." Tha surrounding Vitaphone pro-grain at the Strand this week contains Frank Orth in "Meet the Wife." Bobby Folsom in "A Modern Priscilla" and Jay Velie in "Songs of Love." At the Fox. A talking picture whose purpose It Is to capture not only the scenes but also the sounds of a big city-New York, to be exact is "Speakeasy," current at the Fox Theater. It relates, as a mere Incident, a not very intriguing story about a girl reporter and a champion pugilist. Its actual ralson d'etre is a series ot fascinating sights and sounds of (1) a speakeasy, (2) a newspaper press room, (3) Grand Central Station, (4) the subway (5) Empire City race track and (6) Madison Square Garden during the big fight Less because of the story it has to tell and more because of the imaginative manner in which it is told, "Speakeasy" becomes a fast-moving, vivid and often exciting entertainment. More conclusively than has usually been the case in talking pictures, the film at the Fox Theater demonstrates that the fusion of pictorial motion and sound synchronization is an art that is rapidly approaching a perfected state.

The characters talk with the clearness that one would expect of a stane play, and when the Movietone apparatus is moved out of doors to record the roaring, of the crowd at the race track or the rumble of traffic in Times Square, the effect is no less startling. Representing the climax Is the big at Madison Square Garden, and here, too, both the camera and the sound reproduc- Liszt, and all of this was liberally interlarded with encores. Mr. Gigli is not, of course, a concert singer, nor does he, his programs indicate, pretend to be one. He doubtless knows that those who come to hear him sing check their musical discrimination before they take their scats, and are prepared take anything he gives them for tlv sake of hearing his voice.

Music, for Mr. GiKli. anoears to be a necessary evil, and so he compounds his programs indiscriminately from the raw xna-terials of popular appeal: luce an le stelle," "Mother Macree" and "Then You'll Remember Me." ThVs procedure is illogical and Since It is immaterial mj rar. uigu a admirers what he sings for them, he could easily raise the musical standards of his programs without diminishing the aize of his audiences. It is a pity, after all, that so fine a voice, which Mr.

Gigli can, when he will, use with exquisite reticence and finesse, should never, or at the best, very rarely, be heard in music that merits is services.

Helen Ware, Henry B. Walthall, Stuart Erwin, Warren Hymer and Sharon Lynn are the best of the others. The Fox Theater inaugurates a slightly different policy in the matter of stage entertainment this week.

Instead of the usual, atmospheric prologues and elaborate tableaux, the platform has been crowded with a number of vaudeville acts of the, as the saying goes, headline variety. There are Frank Fay and Blossom Seeley and Benny Fields and the Keller Sisters and Lynch. There is Dave Appolon and his company in a miniature musical comedy, and there is Jimmy Carr and his orchestra to provide a scintillating assortment of tunes. It is, altogether, a lively show better, I think, than the big house on Flatbush ave. has ever had.

Mr. Mix delivers a modest little monologue in which he mentions a ki ci nice things about his horse And almost nothing about himself. He speaks with a becoming Western drawl and between sentences he fumbles with his cream-colored ten-gallon hat, like the great big bash-full boy that he is. Not given to eloquence, Tom is least engaging when he is talking. He gives a better show, much better, when he finally reaches for his six-shooters and begins popping away at little ciay things arranged on a target.

Sometimes he misses, but he's nonchalant about that, like the fellow in the cigarette ads. A couple of cowboys nil in at odd moments with exhibitions of lariat twirling and. as a parting flourish, Tom climbs aboard Tony and begins blazing away with both guns In true Hollywood style. When it was all over Tom and Tony got a great big hand and our hero, with characteristic California generosity, invited everybody to come out of the ranch some time and have supper with Mamma Mix and little Thomaslna. The film feature at the Brooklyn Paramount this week is "Looping the Loop," a German production comparable in outline with "Variety." That, however, is as far as the similarity goes, for this production discloses neither the directorial skill nor the clever photography of the earlier Ufa film.

Against a background provided by the Cirque Olympia In Paris, "Looping the Loop" tells you about an old circus performer who tried to keep his sweetheart from learning that he was rea' Botto. the clown. It appears the lady had little use for circus people and so you have a picture of poor Punchinello I mean Botto going around with a smile on his whitewashed face while his heart is breaking. The high point in the picture is supposed to come with a death-defying exhibition of aerial acrobatics high up above the arena, but the excitement attending this episode somehow fails to materialize. In its favor, however, it should be mentioned that "Looping the Loop" departs commendably from the usual laueh-clown-laugh pattern by permitting Botto to win the girl in the end.

Werner Krauss plays the clown. Jenny Jugo is the girl and Warwick Ward, who played a similar role in "Variety," portrays a lecherous trapeze artist. It is enacted throughout in the obvious, style peculiar to most of the German productions. In addition to Mr. Mix and the feature picture, the Brooklyn Paramount offers the usual stace revue, called, this time, "Happy-Go-Lucky." Texas Gulnan, With Sound.

The lorn; heralded talking-movie debut of Texas Guinan, Broadway's first Nieht Hostess, was celebrated at the Brooklyn Strand Theater on Saturday afternoon with the premiere of "Queen of the Night Clubs." Miss Guinan is, of course, presented in her familiar role of mistress of ceremonies in what was probably intended to be a reproduction of the Guinan establishment in New York. The setting is authentic enough in aopearance. and one imacines that the cast which has bpen assembled in stipnort of the star renrescnts a fairly believable cross-section of the type of "suckers" who once paid nishtly homage to the Guinanlan ldnl.
