TUSUBWAY SADIE” IS AT PALACE SUNDAY | WISE GUY” FINE FEATURE AT PAEACE new First N showing at here, sees se hi"flli myrq of the cast in rules that are for| them distinctly bizarre. For instance, Mary Carr, who is: known to her millions of fans as! the perfeet screen “mngher“ and ! the essenee’ of materrial - sweet- ness, appears in “The Wise Guy” as a crafty and sanctimonious old sinner, who rifles the pockets of a congregation, of religion-seekers | while the pastor; himiself a,faker, holds them spellbound with his hypocritical eloquence. Bafore the final fade-out, how eveér; Mrs. Carr “reforms” and be- comes converted to her dearing self. Mary Astor, who, Carr, has always been seen in roles denoting great = modesty, winsomeness' and aboveboard in- tegrity, takes the part of a girl cfook in “The Wise Guy.” She cleverly hides her howeves . unger, the guise of .ex- treme * fillocence. ' Until discov- ered she poses as a soulful-faced hymn-singer. Betty Compson, another member of “The Wise Guy,” THZE i New . York &mrq law like . Mary is seen: firgt'(as, a hula-dancer and; then as an organist and choir-girl with ‘the fraddulent gospel outfit. James Kirkwood, who plays the title role in “The Wise Guy,” is|** seen as the fakigg ®vangelist. In the end he is erted to the very beliefs which he so hyp» critically -airs. ‘The overture “Zampa” was well rendered by the orchestra during the concert and won good ap-| e The ap;5< Warnér.

Here s originality to the fith degree, and the production has all ‘the speed .and thrills of any westefn ever turned out.” But the point in ‘which it stands out |above others of its type is in the ‘concaptlan of story and the jamount of truly delightful humor f which has been crowded into it. Bob has here a vehicle which al- lows him full scope for talents hitherto unrevealed; and he proves as good a comedian as he is a rider and dramatic actor. As Buck Hayden, who feaves the business of valet to cows for the bigger field of “punching” storles for a little newspaper out west, Mr. Custer “gets into plenty of trouble and scores of laughable situations.
