| their renunciation in this respect, they couldn’t resist the traditional embrace just before the final curtain. This they contrive by allowing the | ghosts of the two lovers to come to- gether at the bottom of the Medi- terranean (Mare Nostrum). So, ap- parently, if you cheat Hollywood in this life it will get even with you in | the next. Alice Terry leaves very little to be | desired as Freya Talberg, the beauti- ful Austrian spy, that little being a | somewhat greater sophistication. I haven’t a very large acquaintance among beautiful spies—that is to say, official ones—but I have always had a notion they were made of harder metal than the susceptible Freya. However, in her climactic | scene, when she faces the rifles of her | executioners, she displays a tender- ness and courage that leave an im- pression not easily effaced. | Antonio Moreno, who takes the | part of Ulysses Ferragut, the hand- | some young Spanish sea captain, | seems also to be a bit lacking in | starch. He is more convincing as | lover and father than as sea captain. One looks for more weather-beaten | rigidity even in a Mediterranean skipper. But perhaps I labor the point in discussing a character by Ibanez out of Hollywood. Certainly the girls would not have him differ- ent. The play, as a whole, is well cast except for the Germans who, of course, are caricatured in the spirit | of 1918. “Dees MorueErs” is one of those stage sermons that pass for deep stuff in the mental stratum just above that of a Mississippi legis- lator. Father and daughter take it for granted that mother is content to | live for them while they live for them- selves. But she grows tired of spend- | ing her evenings alone at home while they find alluring entertainment | elsewhere. So she begins “stepping out” on her own account. The crisis occurs when she is surprised in the | apartment and arms of the man her daughter pursues by the daughter. But I shouldn’t tell more, though it would be well for all fathers and daughters to take this lesson to heart and see that mother has a good time, | too. For make no mistake about it, there’s life in the old girl yet. AIS In New York, a man on his way | to be married was held up and chloroformed. Later on, he came to his senses. —Humorist KELLY BALLOONS Henry use to tire up heh fe Lek like i — 1 got a Tycos Therm and now he fireg up when the thermometer and I feel like it OS “Get a Tycos Thermometer.
