Second Week of "Siegfried" Exceptional Features at Ori-
at Little Theater.
ental Theater.
Due to the extraordinary popu-
larity of "Siegfried," the great
UFA production based on the
Nibelungen Saga, the Motion Pk-
ture Guild has been forced to hold
over last week's program at the
Little Theater. The entire bill will
he retained, including the micro-
scopic novelty, The Mosquito,"
that has created so much discus-
sion, and the second of a series of
unique comedies dealing with ab-
surd old Colonial gravestones.
"Siegfried" is being presented
in Detroit exactly as it was shown
in New York at $5 prices, but pop-
ular prices are the rule at the
Little Theater. The film is said
to be a direct adoption of the mag-
nificent Germanic epic that forms
the basis of four of Richard Wag-
ner's operas, known as "the thing
of the Nibelungen." It has been
produced with such elaborate de-
tail, sumptuous and mammoth
settings and beautiful interiors
that it can readily be understood
why two years and over a million
dollars should have been consumed
during the filming.
Fritz Lang, who made "Metrop-
olis" and "Destiny," also directed
"Siegfried." Paul Richter, a pop-
ular young European star, enacts
the title role, while Margarete
Schoen, lions von Schlettow and
others appear in support.
Exceptionally attractive features
on both the stage and screen are
announced by the management of
the Orientally Pleat, r for the pro-
gram beginning Sunday, continu-
ing through the week.
"Sinners In Love" will be the
screen feature. This is the well-
known True Story Magazine prize
tale.
Screen and stage followers alike
will rejoice in the booking of Ken-
neth !tartan and his own company
of players in a Keith vaudeville
sketch.
Wyeth and Wynn in "Home
Again" offer a fatted calf consist-
ing of song, dance and comedy
patter, with Mr. Wyeth showing
that a guitar has comedy as well
as musical value. Among other
acts are Jimmy Lucas and Geral-
dine Herbert in a comedy sketch
entitled "The Vampire and the
Fool of 1928."
"John Ferguson" at Masonic
Temple Dec. 6-8.
The New York Theater Guild
will present "John Ferguson" at
the Masonic Temple for threo
days, Dec. 6, 7 and 8.

"The Awakening," Samuel Gold-

are, after all, the lest recipes for
a good picture. It has all the ro-
