3 AR PEACOCK FEATHER GOWN COSTING $10,000 SCREENEDI Embracing in its colorful, dramatic | scope the ultra-exclusive sociai set of | Long Island, the revelry of New | York’s famous Riverside Drive apart- | ments, the bizarre beauty of Parisian | life and the stillness of the vast Arabian desert, “The Rage of Paris, Miss DuPont’s premiere starring ve-| hicle, coming to the Grand theater | tonight only is a milestone along the | highway of screen progress. The scenes in the Arabian desert, a sandstorm, terrific in its intcnsity.' are unrivaled in their stark, vivid| realism. The spectator fairly breathes the stifling heat of the desert sands, | so faithfully has the story been told. Interwoven into the wastes of the Jesert is a tale of renunciation and! sclf-sacrifice, furnishing a most strik- | ing finale for a colorful photodrama. The Bal des Deux Arts is a tre- mendous spectacle, startling in its photographic conceptions of lighting and costumes. Garbed in a magmmn- ! cent peacock feathen gown, costing| over 310,000, Miss DuPont, who is the star of Eric von Strohei “Foolish Wives,” the productio: which is being eagerly awaited by millions of peovle. and said by many to be ‘‘America’s most beautiful bionde,” gives a bizarre dance inter- pretation that is electrifying. Miss Du Pont proves herself an artist of the dance as well as of the silver sheet. The stilted, unreal pretenses of the bought-and-paid-for marriage of so- cfal’ convenience are bared in the seenes of New York’s Fifth Avenue and Long Island heart-markets. _Jack Conway, noted director, who | dirccted “Lombardi, Ltd.,”” was re. sponsihle for the unusually artistic presentation of “The Rage of Paris,” an ‘adaptafion for the screen by Lucien Hubbard of Du Vernet Ra- bell’s “The White Peacock Feather.” SPECIAL VAUDEVILLE SHOW “ FOR NEW YEAR'S AT GRAND Arrangements have been made for the special showing of a very attract- ive vaudeville program on Sunday.

The sfory and seenario are by Jacques Jaccard, who also di Francisco plays the feminine lead.

T‘femcn‘dously dramatic is the sit- wetion which brings about the. climas, ‘mexpected as it is startling and logic- al, for it lllqstrabcs the old” saying that he who lies shall never prosper.
