THE CRIMSON PLAYGOER

Supplied with an entirely new program of music and surrounded by an exceptional ensemble of dancing beauties, Paul Whiteman, lately called "the jovial Premier of Ultra-Modern Music" and his 33 piece band inaugurated their second week as the feature stage attraction at the Metropolitan yesterday. Those who did not see the jazz-makers last week, as well as those who did, for that matter, should not miss this remaining opportunity, as both band and leader are even better than formerly in a lavish revue, with special settings, lighting effects, and costumes. The famous orchestra is the nucleus of the show which is more elaborate than usual, as is always the case at the Met. However, the new music is really deserving of being the hit of the show, and this convinces us that nothing in the way of musical entertainment can make Paul take a back seat.

The feminine contingent will get their customary thrill out of Rod La Rocque and his antics as a deshing young adventurer for whom the bandits "stand and Deliver." This young man is always dashing and adventurous, or is supposed to be. He dashes around quite a bit in this picture with Lupe Velez, whom those who were so unfortunate as to see "The Gaucho" will remember. Together they put romance on the map in the Balkans, and cause Warner Oland, wh plays the renegade, to lead a miserable existence. This photoplay will be forgotten before one is past the portals of the garishly gilded photoplay palace, so no harm is done.
