A leading critic had this to say about the picture: " 'Captain Swagger' is in every way a good show with its exciting plot, interesting characters, and sump- tuous backgrounds. Rod LaRocque as the Escadrille, Ulrich Haupt as the German aviator, and Sue Carol as the waif of New York night life, entertain in every sequence in which they ap- pear, and the star, Mr. L.aRocque, par- ticularly shines in the character of the lovable, if braggart, 'high society' wastrel." Charles "Buddy" Rogers has the leading role in "Varsity" at the Teatro this Sunday, with Mary Brian and Chester Conklin furnishing support. The story deals with a whimsical jani- tor whose aim in life is achieved when his son comes to college. The scenes for "Varsity" were actually taken on the campus at Princeton university and were supervised in the making by a committee from the faculty of the uni- versity. Norma Talmadge Stars "The Woman Disputed," the love and hate drama of an outcast wom- an's redemption, brings Norma Tal- madge to the screen of the Teatro del Lago on Monday and Tuesday in what is said to be the greatest role of her career. There will be a special matinee on Tuesday, Christmas day. This United Artists' picture is based on the sensational stage play of the same name by Dennison Clift. The story as translated to the screen by C. Gardner Sullivan, has in its film manifestation, all the drama, virility and charm of the play, authorities who have seen both versions state. The players appearing in support of Miss Talmadge in "The Woman Disputed" are well known to picture-goers. Gi!- bert Roland, hero of Miss Talmadge's "The Dove," plays a like role in this film, Arnold Kent is the rival suitor. A notable cast appears with Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle in their lat- est co-starring vehicle, "The Baby Cyclone," Teatro attraction for next Wednesday. Among the well known players are Robert Armstrong, Gwen Lee, and Clarissa Selwynne. "The Baby Cyclone" is the story of a little Pekingese dog named "Cyclone," brought into the lives of two couples in different social worlds. Women quarrel over the ownership of the dog, and men whine bceause their wives love the dog more than their husbands. A fine mixup is born, and amid many hilarious complications it works to a clever dramatic twist that solves the problem and leaves everybody happy. COMMUNITY HOUSE Tues. Dee. 25 Fri.
