W Griffith, master- maker of photoplays, has taken for hig cue the increasing popularity of the last two or three years of the stage melodrama and has produced a mystery picture par excellence. In this newest of Griffith films, a United Artists Corporation release, the great director gives five of the six elements that go t® make up ef- fective mystery--gecretad treasure, personal "disappearance, puzzling homicide, hidden identity; and the return of the gvenging spirit. And with it all he gives the spectator an altogether marvelious jassortment in the way of actual entertainment. Of course no Griffith picture would be truly Griffithesque without {ts great climax scene. And "One Excit- ing Night" has it. This time it is a storm, that type of mid-summer thunderstorm with which everybody everywhere is familiar--a torrential down pour of rain coupled with hur- ricane winds, low-sweeping <louds, split asunder every second by bolts of tree shredded lightning. Trees are uprooted and flung about like matches before an airplane propel- ler; houses are unroofed, demolish- ed, and crumble beneath the tem- past.

Denis, Ted Shawn and the Denishawn Dancers come to the Grand Opera House on Thursday evening,' April 24th, they will offer a dance feast calculated to suit every taste. The many phases of the Deni- shawn choreographic art, the variety of the gorgeous costumes made of rich brocades, eilks and sati shot with gold and silver and jewels of barbaric splendor, the spell of the transforming lighting effects, the bewitching personality of Miss St. Denis, the virile strength and dra- Ks Matic powers of Mr. Shawn, the youth and beauty of the dancers that support them----all these and more, will make her programme the most artistic and satisfying ever offered by a company of ; e The first group of Miss St. Denis* programme is called Music Visualiza- tion ,and includes ven's "Son- ata: Pathetique," Chopin's "Revolu- tionary Etude," Schumann's "Scar- ing," Brahms' Waltz, Lisst's "Lie- bestraum," and Mana Zuecea's "Valse Brillante." vou) A i Ee Te second group {Bcludes es Span- ish Suite; a pastoral, "In a Garden," danced to @ new valse composed by Mische Levitzki; and "Xochitl," a dance drama based on an ancient Tolic legend. The third section of the program- me is entitled "'Orientalia" and of- fers dance groups of China, Crete, Siam, Japan, Java and Egypt. The Hindu group will again give Miss St. Denis an opportunity to do her famous Nautoh Dance and her "Dance of the Black and Gold Sari."

It's a story of a man and a young fellow who bluff everyone along the Mississippi, the idea being to con- vince folk that the youngster is about. the dangerous -gun-fighter thereabouts. And the whole thing is just one long thrill. Cruze has established for himself a reputation Of being the one direc- tor. to-day who can take a screen story, in this case an adaptation by Walter Woods of the stage 'play, ~"Magnolia,"" by Booth Tarkington, and get out of it every possible ele- ment of humor, "The Covered Wag- on," a tense western drama, as pro- duced by Cruse had some of the fin- est comedy touches of anything ever madé. 'And he's done even more with "The Fighting Coward." You'll get a good laugh out of the scene where ome of the charac- ters engages another in a gambling game and relieves him of even his clothes. Torrence is at his best in the char acter of Gen. Qrlando Jackson, and Cullen Landis handles the leading man's role to'perfection, while Noah Beery gives his usull excellent per- formance in a heavy role. Mary As- tor and Phyllis Haver are well cast as the sisters, Elvira and Lucy. And there's a thoroughly capable supporting cast, - Another good vaudevilie act is 'booked in conjunction with the regular programme, Haskell and Butler are an exceptionally good team, who sing' and musical novelties.
