"PARLOUR, BEDROOM AND BATH." Arrival of Buster Keaton's newest comedy, "Parlour, Bedroom and Bath," at the Queen's Theatre on Sunday, will call to mind: the fact that this is the fifth photoplay in which Edward Sedgwick has directed the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer star.
Morocco, of course, means the Foreign Legion, which seems to be very much in vogue just now. By an extraordinary chain of circum- stances. "Charlie Jackson" (played by J. Harold Murray), a kind gun-runner, is forced to cast in his lot with the picturesque corps. After suitable heroic deeds he ar- rivos back at the enbaret just in time to rescue his inamorata from Sedgwick's nearest record for the clutches of a very nasty vilitar consistency is his association lain.

That is about the sum total of the story, eked out by some excel- lent singing by Murray, some much less excellent by Fifi, and a touch ing vision of strong men's emotion during Christmas time in, the Legion. This latter incident is Murray's eue to burst into a heroic chant with the not entirely original title of "C'est la Guerre."
Two other M-G-M directors are in the "five time" class. Robert Z. Leonard has produced five Marlon Davies productions and is now at work on a sixth, vehicle for thie, star, "It's a Wise Child."

Clarence Brown entered the re- cord, class when he completed Greta Garbo's "Inspiration," the director screened four previous Garbo, films.
Directors in the "four time class includes John Francis. Dillon, who directed Richard Barthelmess, and Rowland V. Lee, who bas made four pictures with George Ban- croft.
The pale wraith of George Gros-having smith wanders through, the pic ture. He plays a minor part, look. ing very old, and it is sad to see how definitely his acting "dates."
Clyde Cook provides the bright er moments of the film with his Cockney impudences; and a little more, of him would have helped matters considerably. Altogether, an entertainment of only average merit, except for the "Fifi" fans.
Screen critics are unanimous. in their agreement of the successful results achieved by the Sedgwick Kenton union of talent.
