"Wlat Price GQlory." 'What a
picture?
If you liked the play, you're go-
ing to more than like the film ver-
sion of the two hard boiled marines
taking their fun and women as
they comr in between halves of the
greatest fight on record, the World
war. But whether or not you liked
the play, you'll have to admit that
"What Price Glory" in cinema
form is entertainment par excel-
lence.
In only one instance did the film
fail to impress me as much as the
play. The scene in the dark cellar,
where the wounded and dying are
brought off the b~jttle field, when
one soldier nearly crazy with the
horror of the sights he has just
seen, goes wild, moaning, "What Price
Glory now?" and is forced down on
a pallet and given a hypodermic to -
help erase the picture of the atroci-
ties he has witnessed. The memory
of the sound of that pathetic voice
groining over and over again, "what
price glory now," fading and fading
until it sinks into oblivion, can never
be replaced by any pantomining no
matter how well done it may be.
Most war pictures, hitherto, have
been a mere excuse for some direc-
tor to attempt to awe the public
with a lot of big spectacular battle
scenes that fog the vision with a lot
of smoke, while the orchestra pounds
out noise to resemble the booming
of guns in a terrific battle. These
scenes were sung together somehow
with a make-shift plot, a love. story,
of course, and then it was called
finished and released to a waiting
public. As a result, we have learned
to shy of war pictures ,for they
all have been more or less alikd and
have failed to meet this acid test of
any production-sincerity. All this N
until "The Big Parade" came along This a
and now "What Price Glory." - Thi

Some are going to concede all hon-
ors to "What Price Glory," particu-
larly those who like their picture
generously sprinkled with impish
humor, while others still will reserve
first place for "The Big Parade,"
which gave over greater portions to
the serious side of the war. Toa me,
they were about on a par, although
entirely different in treatment.
"What Price Glory" depicts the' late
war humorously humanized; with
just enough pathos to balance it.
There is the spectacular, too, but
it rings true, as does everything about
the big picture. Throughout, how-
ever, the war serves merely as a
back ground for the humorous ad-
ventures of the two marines, Capt.
Flagg, and Sgt. Quirt, and tie pretty
French lass, Charmaine. Rivals in
drinking and in love, they are united
in the really important issue, the big
fight.
There is a trinity of' players carry-
ing the lead parts that leaves noth-
ing to be desired-Victor McLaglen
as Capt. Flagg, Edmund Lowe as
Sgt. Quirt, and last, but not least,
the pretty barmaid, whose favor
they seek, Delores Del Rio as Char-
maine. These three are the principal
reasons why the soreen adaption of
"What Price Glory'" is better than
the stage play. Especially Dolores Del
Rio, who is irresistible. As one per-
son says, "longed to take a safety
pin and fasten her dress that was
always slipping off one shoulder, but
the revelations were nevertheless
tempting."
In spite of the shortened time for
screening "What Price' Glory," two
performances being shown in an eve-
ning at Arcade theater, in place of
the usual one, the picture has not
been cut. It has just been speeded up,
the intermissions omitted, and added
features cut to require only about 15
minutes.
