“ re Ys, ‘SUNDAY, JUNE 15, 1924. Theatricals AMERICA HAS PICTURE WITH —PUNGHAND FEATURE PLAYERS ‘Thomas H. Ince, whose pictures thames end rapid-fire action that they have been regponsible! for the colning of the phrase. “The Ince Punch,” has delivered again. “The Marriage Cheat,” a First Nafjonal picture, which opened at the Ameri. ca theater yesterday; contains that ‘punch" in generous measure, and in addition relates one of the most appealing romances we have ever geen flashed on the silver sheet. “The M: Cheat” is a ro- mance of ‘the South Sea Islands, di- rected by John Griffith Wray the story by Frank R. Adams. the cast are Percy Marmont, Lea- trice Joy, Adolphe Menjou, Laska Winter, Henry Barrows and J. P. Lackney. « With such a romantic background as the South Sea Islands, where the picture was actually filmed, Direct- or Wray has fashioned a film that Possesses an appeal to all types of motion picture lovers. There are Shivery thrills galore, including the leaping of the heroine into the sea from a yacht and the wrecking of a big Mner in a typhoon. There are marvelous gcenic shots of the noted islands; there are tender scenes of love, poignant scenes of pathos. Filled with suspense that never al- lows the attention to lag for a mo- ment, the story moves swiftly and smoothly, contrasting citization with savagery, and it is acted with a fidel- ity that {s noteworthy. Here {s a pjcture that we can reo- ommend without reservation as su- preme entertainment. 1 HAROLD LLOYD'S LATEST AT RIALTO IS RIOT OF LAUGHS ’ Yesterday it looked as though it might become necessary to summon an ambulance to the Rialto theater after the first showing of Lloyd's latest feature Pathecomedy, “Girl Shy," which will be there for an indefmmite run. Somo of the patrons ‘Were so convulsed and weakened by mirth that this reviewer doubted their ability to reach the open air, Just as you begin to think that there is. nothing new in the movies, along comes a Lloyd comedy and {mmedfately life takes on a rosier hue again. 4 For every Lioyd comedy is dis- tinctive from all angles and in all ects except one, and that’s laughter. It seems that in each one you find laughs coming more and more rapidly, than in the preceding ene. And “Girl Shy” is no excep- tion. / While Lioyd has successfully undertaken one of the most novel and difficult characterizations he has ever attempted, it is entirely @ifferent from any of its pre- decessors except for the fact that it even more funny than the other he has portrayed. Truly this young man with the horn rimmed glasses can lay claim to the title of being America’s greatest comedian. Little Jobyna Ralston, who made such a hit in the last Lloyd Pathe- comedy, “Why Worry?” is again geen playing opposite Harolf, and FINE CAST FOR FILM THRILLER “Broadway After Dark,” the com- ing attraction at the Rialto theater. ts sald to be a midnight drama of New York, replete .with all the glamorous escayndes which stir the fmagination and which cause hun- ¢reds of thousands annually to ex- change thelr home towns for the yelitter and gayety of Broadway. The wickedness, the sham, the fascinations and disillusionments of this fron-souled town are incor- porated in this screen version of the Owen Divis melodrama, a Warner Brothers’ Classic of the Screen. The direction is by Monta Bell, who was associated with Charles Chaplin in the making of the latter’s important picture. > A cast of stellar proportions in- terprets the Broadway types. They consist of such well known names as Adolphe Menjou, Norma Sheare Anna Q. Nilsson, Edward Burns, Carmel Myers, Vera Lewis, Willard Louts, Mervyn.LeRoy, Jimmy Quinn and many others equally brilliant. Rut brilliant though the cast is In itself, it is augmented by the pres- ence of stage headliners known to Broadway theaters. When Producer Harry Rapf was in New York he \\ seized the occasion to photograph eceries from the Actors’ Equity asso- elation ball, and has incorporated them into the picture. So that the following stage stars appear in the picture: Ferguson, Florence Moore, Corbett, John Steel, Frank Tinney Paul Whiteman, Irene Castle, Buster ‘West, and a thousand others. she gives an excellent account of herself in a rather difficalt part. Richard Danisis, the uncle of freckl faced ‘Mickey, of *“Our Gang’ fame} is cast as Lioyd's uncle, and helps ¢o win a lot of sympathy for the star.* Carlton Griffin completes the cast in the role of a wealthy young idler. “Girl Shy” was directed by Fred +: Vaudeville Sunday, ‘Wednesday—Harold Lioyd very latest eight reel comedy. “Girl Shy/" 4lso Kinogram News.

Miss Gish ‘herself would not tell you it is because of per- sonal magnetism that she won suc- cess—she would not even talk of success, but the interviewer recent- ly, by leading the subject to an im- personal viewpoint, was able to gain the star's ideas. ‘Asked what she thought personal magnetism meant, she said: , “I take it to be the same as charm.” : “And that?” “Barrie answers the question in the words he puta In the mouth of Maggie Wylie in ‘What Every Wo- man Knows. Do you remember them?—‘It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you haye ft, you don’t need to have anything el: and it you don’t have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have, Some women, the few, have charm for all, and most have charm for one; but some have charm for none.’ “And to me, Barrie is without a peer in his understanding of women.” “Does beauty of grooming enter into it?’ was the next question.

Mademoiselle Lafayette’s new title suggestg an anomaly, for one can hardly be expected to associate the French capital with puritanism, But the sobriquet’ is nevertheless deserv- ed, for Andree Lafayette herself ad- mits it. She is proud of her puri- tanism. The French beauty is a most un- usual young lady, especially in her attitude toward life. Jn striking con- trast to the viewpoint of the Ameri- can girl of today, mademolselle, who is just nineteen, insits upon retiring at ten o'clock. She has served no- tloee on the many friends and ai mirers in Hollywood who Would en. tertain her, that she will attend no “party” or other function which she cannot leave promptly at nine o'clock. The French star realizes that early hours and plain living make for health and argues convincingly that without good health she cannot hope to buffet the strains incident to reaching the uppermost heights of success in her profession. And that is her laudable ambition. In- cldentally, Andree Lafayette is a vegetarian. And she shuns candy.

A. Burke, president and general manager of The Peer- less Motor Car company. “This year, however, two things in particular have served to postpone the selling season of the automobile industry for a month or two. “The first,” continues Mr. Burke, “Is, the inclement weather that has been experienced in all parts of the United \Stat There is no questioning the fact that this has had a depressing influence ‘on the automobile business. But now that the weather is opening up, we find that sales are much stronger. up sales was the fact that many prospective automobile purchasers had put off buying until 4-wheel brakes and baloon tires had proved out to thelr satisfaction. While @utomobile manufacturers them- selves expertmented for many months before adopting these feat- ures and realized their great ad- vantages, these same advantages were practically unknown to the public at large until after the big automobile shows this year.
