Miss Vidor, the Grand Duche::, is forced by circumstance to flec | landed “A BROADWAY LADY” COLISEUM, TONIGHT | - “A Broaaway Lady,” Evelvn Brent’s most recent, and if the critics are correct her most color- ful _starring vehicle, comes to the Coliseum Theatre for tonight and ‘Wednesday. Directed for F. B. 0. by Wesley Ruggles, and splendid- | 1y enacted by Miss Brent and a well balanced supporting cast, this production deals with Broad- way theatrical life, and has for its central character a very un- usual little chorus lady, who nightly flashes her sparkling por- sonality across the footlights of the Big Lane’s mgst popular mu- sical comedy. The picture takes Miss Brent out of the familiar crook roles to which she has ro often and so successfully been as- signed, and yet keeps her in a dramatic, dynamic part which she plays with distinction. Theodore | Von Eltz is excellent in the part| of Bob Westbrook, the young so- ciety man, and Ernest Hilliard gives a fine performance as Mai- |« tyn Edwards. from her native land and take rooms in a prominent- Paris hotel. While attending the theatre onc evening, she is seen by Adolphe Menjou, a millioAaire philander- er, who falls desperately in love with her. Unable to gain an introduction he takes quarters in the suite of rooms directly below hers at the hotel, hoping to attract her at- tention, Failing in this, he final- Iy bribes an old servant to let him act as a floor-waiter in her suite, In his new role, Menjou, thor- oughly disguised in a regulation waiter's uniform, enters the royal suite with a tea-cart. However, in so close a proximity to the | woman he adores, his presence of mind falls to zero, and he ends up by spilling a pitcher of cream down Miss Vidor's neck. Miss Vidor's rage and anger prompt her to decide on a unique form of punishment. Thus starts the story.

(‘.rent dramatic punches rest on psychology rather than gigantic settings or vast crowds; on the elements of suspense and terms of human emotigns rather than on visual greatness of mass. In other words, drama is that which grips the mind rather than that ‘which dazzles the eye. This is the view of Fred Niblo, famous director of “Ben Hur,” lwho recently completed directing ! the Cosmopolitan production “Taz Temptress,” at the Palace Thurs- 'day, and who states that it is a great play not. because of Ifs mch“d.spectacle but because of its fn- e itrinsic human values. “Spectacle appeals to the eye and dazzles,” he says, “but great drama appeuls to the mind—and 'staggers one.” This is why, he states, Vincente Blasco Ibanez’ novel “The Tempt- § in which Greta Garbo, An- itonfo Moreno, and 8 huge cast s one of the biggest stories he has ever directed.
