"RACKETEER" IS DIVERTING.; Talkie at Hippodrome Portrays the Ways of Some Suave Crooks.
Date: 06 January 1930
A diverting melodrama of some modern crooks and their suave manners is "The Racketeer," at the Hippodrome. This film, although not free from the extravagances found in such photoplays, is frequently punctuated by telling bits of acting. There are sugary episodes, but these are pardonable in the light of their infrequent occurrence.Mal, a king of frock-coated racketeers, befriends a woman who is caught cheating at cards. She, in turn, is helping a violinist, who is a dipsomaniac. Mal aids them both, at the same time falling in love with the woman. He arranges a concert for the violinist after nursing him back to health, and because of his kindnesses wins a promises of marriage from the woman, although she really loves the other. On the night of the concert, after which Mal is to be married and then sail for Europe, one of Mal's henchmen kills the leader of an opposing gang. The police go to the concert hall to arrest Mal, and he is shot, thus leaving the way clear for the other lovers.Carol Lombard speaks her way through the picture as the woman, in a sort of dejected key. She is nevertheless attractive. Robert Armstrong is appealing in the rôle of the chief racketeer.The picture has a tenseness that held yesterday's audience and drew its applause at the end.Other Photoplays.At the Film Guild Cinema the screen offerings are "The Golem" and "A Woman of the World.""In Old Arizona," with Warner Baxter, is now on view at the Little Picture House.At the Fifth Avenue Playhouse the principal attraction is "The Royal Box," a German dialogue film, with Alexander Moissi."The Hollywood Revue" is at the Capitol; "Hot for Paris," at the Roxy; "The Laughing Lady," at the Paramount; "No. No, Nanette," at the Warners' Strand; "The Virginian," at the Rialto; "Hell's Heroes," at the Colony; "The Mighty," at the Rivoli; "Second Choice," at the Warners' Beacon; "Devil May Care," at the Astor; "Disraeli," at the Central; "The Love Parade," at the Criterion; "Party Girl," at the Gayety; "Blaze o' Glory," at the George M.

Most of the characters, particularly M. Tchekhof's portrayal of a waiter, are splendidly sketched in the Soviet silent film, "The Man From the Restaurant," the current attraction at the Cameo. It is a picture with many compelling scenes and a few weak ones. J. A. Protazanof, the director, sets forth some effective contrasts, which are suited to the abstract nature of the chronicle. M. Protazanof is clever in the handling of detail, whether it concerns the doings in a restaurant, the home life of the waiter, or the activities in a departmental war office.The waiter is the hero, while the rogues are a war profiteer and a bullet-headed General. The story, such as it is, happens to be chiefly concerned with the experiences of a waiter in an expensive restaurant. He is depicted as honest in the face of temptation, while the General willingly accepts a bribe from the profiteer.It is 1916. The waiter, an elderly man, receives word of his son's death on the eastern front. The shock caused by the loss of her son kills the waiter's wife and the bereaved father turns to his daughter for solace. The girl has been studying the violin, but she is informed that because of her absence from the academy and the amount owed for tuition she has been dropped from the list of students.The daughter is played by Vera Malinovskaya, to whom the camera is none too kind. She is too placid a type to make the latter sequences of this production convincing. It is this girl whose beauty is supposed to inspire the profiteer to tempt her with his attentions and gifts. The young man with whom the girl is in love works in the secret archives of the General's office. The profiteer decides that the loss of a secret document would cause no end of trouble to both the young man and the girl. The director of the film arranges much too easily for the scoundrel to steal one of the confidential missives, the loss of which subsequently is the despair of the young persons.The profiteer later hints to the girl that she can gain possession of a "valuable envelope" if she will come to his home to supper. The waiter, not knowing that the profiteer is entertaining his (the waiter's) daughter, is assigned to take charge of the supper sent to the profiteer's home from the restaurant. This fact and the sudden appearance of the young man, who given chase to the vehicle on its way to the scoundrel's home, results finally in the profiteer being angry, dishevelled and thoroughly disappointed.M. Tchekhof, except for one or two scenes when he makes grimaces to express alarm or dismay, is extraordinary real as the waiter. He makes the most of the time when he finds a banknote, which, after hiding it in his sock, putting it under his shirt front and then in his pocket, he finally decides to return to the owner, who doesn't even nod thanks. M. Tchekhof also does well in the glimpses of the waiter's home. Stefan Kuznetzof is capital as the thick-skinned gourmandizing General.
