ODD MAN OUT
dd Man Out 1 is a very satisfactory play for sophisticates. Instead of cynicism there is a wholesome clean feeling, intelligent understanding — derstanding that humans are not all alike, d that it is never necessary to be vulgar. If the pictures could get this message over — e beauty of intelligent honesty! This would a areat film for Lubitsch to undertake. There ust be a great many people who know the fference between "love and affection. That's what it's all about. Alma Tell is very charming as the dirterent rl and while she is a shocking, person it you tink about it, she seems very possible and artainly most attractive. Lee Baker gave the whole performance a leasant atmosphere. Perhaps a film could be made? Ask Lubitsch.

THE miDE RETIRES
ila Lee, like her husband, James Kirkwood, has left the movies flat on their silver sheets and has come back to the stage in a spicy French farce presented w Henry Baron "The Bride Retires. Lda nakes a very charming, shy, little bride.
It's one of those marriages of convenience, with the bride in love with her chinless cousin, and the husband having an affair with some one else's wife. Yes, as you suspected, it ail comes out right in the end with the dawning of a beautiful love and understanding, tra-la-la-la.
It's spicy, it's risque, it's amusing— it s daring, yes very daring; and we think New York will ,keep it going. Perhaps Lila's next screen part will give her a chance to use this newly revealed subtlety.

^AN or DEVIL
4th Lionel Barrymore, the hero of many film battles, this opened at the Broadhurst Theatre and we found it a slim theme but a delightfully played and most enjoyable performance.
The characterisation by Mr. Barrymore of Nicholas Snyders, who barters his soul, is one of his best studies of old age. It is old age without the monotony of affectations which lesser actors employ, and m its convincing fidelity brings to mind the marvelous scenes of brother John in "Beau Brummel.
