SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1923. Theatricals :-: Vau ‘BRASS’ STARS MONTE BLUE AND MARIE PREVOST AT THE RIALTO Famous Story of Marriage and Divorce Pictured | In Film Which Opened on Saturday For Four Days’ Showing. Monte Blue and Marie Prevost, as fine a combination of screen players as ever took leading honors, made things | hum With action in “Brass,’”’ which came yesterday to the Rialt® theater for a four days’ run as the feature attrac- tion of the bill. “Brass” is the screen adaptation from Charles G.} Norr’s’ novel of marriage and di-of an exciting all-absorbing picture. vorce, wich enjoyed ‘‘best sel'er” vogue throughout the country. So perfect is the picture version that one wonders whether the author had the cast of actors in mind when he wrote his story, or whether the un- canny skill of Director Sidney Frank- | jorie marrying the man she had been | ry Un selected just the right cast. In any case, a superb picture is the) yesult, one that should not be missed ly man, woman or child in search MISS DALTON 13; HURT IN PLY: Paramount Star of “The | Law of the Lawless’ Refused Double. Because she refused to permit another woman to double for her in a etirring scene in which she escapes from a blazing minaret in a Tattar village, Dorothy Dalton suf- fered a severe fall and a painfully lacerated knee during the filming of her latest Paramount picture, “The Law of the Lawless.” which wil! be on view at the Rialto theater Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. In the action of the story Miss Dalton is imprisoned in a mosque during an exciting battle between the villagers and a band of invad ing gypsies. At the climax of the fight the mosque is set afire. The star makes her escape by dropping from the minaret of the. mosque to.the neighboring housetop and fleeing across this uneven perch to safety. Realizing the danger to which Miss Dalton would be exposed, Dt- rector Victor Fleming wished to substitute a professional feminine dare-devil for these scenes, but this plan was promptly vetoed by the star. She insisted on playing the scénes in person. Negotiating the drop from the minaret safely, Miss Dalton hurried across the housetops. But in c’am- bering from one to another she lost her footing, fell to the adjoining roof and was unable to continue with the scene. A doctor was sum- moneda and an examination revealed that the injury was no more severe than a sprained and lacerated knee and a general shaking up. She was able to continue work the fol- lowing day and repeated the scene without further accidents. “The Law of the Lawless” ts a story of the wild country of south. eastern Roumania. Theodore Kos- loff, Charles de Roche and Tully Marshall are featured. Margaret Loomis and Fred Huntley also are in the cast. ut Philp and Marjorie Baldwin are young, married and miserable. and cabarets, and Philip is jealous. | Their child makes no difference, and the divorce follows logica'ly, Mar- flirting with, Philip drifting hel lessly along while two women of ferent types fall in love with him.

DYNAMIC STORY OF SOCIETY PICTURED IN WYOMING FILM Practically every human being in the United States who hasn't been at Coney Island, the famous eastern pleasure spot, has read about it ume and again. There a certain fascination about the atmosphere of that carni- val section. There are freaks of all types, human and animal, clowns, pretty girls and strong men. Be- hind thelr makeups and pretences, they are human, as more than one fictionist has discovered and written. Vienna was once the most dazzling center of Europe. Besides it had a romantic glamor differing from the appeal that any other Continental capital held for the average tourist. Its Coney Island, calied the Prater, was a great sight. Then the war came along and—well, those peopl are human, just as they would ve on this side of the water. They suf- ! fered; gold stars, starvation and poverty. Written into the form of a mo-| tion picture spectacle, this intriguing atmosphere will be seen on the sereen when “Merry-Go-Round,” Universal SuperJewel offering at the Wyoming theater today, Mon day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Hi “Merry-Go-Round,” which cost time, money and care to film, is the story of two lovers separated | as widely by caste as two human | beings could be. One ts a poor girl of the Prater, an organ grinder. | the other is a young count, aide to the Emperor and slave to every royal whim—but leading a life of/ pompous idleness. | The father and mother of the rirl, a faithful hunchback sweet | 2vart, @ great beast of a men who rules a big concession—these and others of the picturesque popula- tion of the Prater appear in “Merry. Go-Round.” Mary Philbin, Universal's ‘‘dis- covery” of the year, plays the organ grinder's role. Norman Kerry, George Hackathorne, Dale Fuller, George Seigmann, Al Edmundson, Cesare Gravina, Edith Yorke, Lillian Sylvester, Maude George, Dorethy Wallace, Sidney Bracy, Spottiswoode Aitken, Maurice Talbot, Fenwick Oliver, Albert Conti, Anton Vaverka, Charles L. ing, Helen Broneau, Jane Sherman and others handle the dramatic roles.
