It is “Back to God’s Country,” a dynamic tale of the North, from James Oliver Curwood’s ever-popu- lar novel of the same name, and has been made into a really spec- tacular production by Irving Wil- lat who directed for Universal The story might be likened to the snow country, full of surprises to the lorer travelling fits fine, sparkli . Hé plows ‘through snowdrifts, rises on knolls from where he can, overlook the placid sea of snow, then to the top of a mountain range whence he sees the boundless panorama of Nature's mighty creation. Renee Adoree is effervescent in her role which is both dramatic and gaily youthful. This characteriza- tion will win for her many more fans. » Robert Frazer is handsome and manly in the male lead and demonstrates his ability as a real actor, The orchestra plays the first show only tonight. = EF SCREEN’S YOUNGEST | | STAR SHOWING HERE :\‘ s Olive Borden, the screen’s most youthful star, has the title role in “The Joy Girl,” an Allan Dwan picture for Fox which opened at the Coliseum Theatre last night. A scintillating picture, this, of Palm Beach at its gayest and New York at ‘its brightest, with wealth and sophistication on all sides. The audience was about equally divided last night between youth and adults, and their interest was equally enthusiastic although the! story is a striking defense of thel, jazz generation of youngsters. As a typical flapper whose heart and soul are right despite her giddi- ness, Miss Borden has one of the most effective roles of her career. There is a capable cast with Neil Hamilton in the masculine lead and Marie Dressler, Mary Alden, Wil- linm Norris, Helen Chandler, Jerry mer, Peggy Keller and Jimmy Grainger, Jr. ‘" COLLEEN MOORE 1s AT PALACE TUESDAY The girl that nobody loved bf cause she was just miss nobody, became the girl everybody envied when she alighted at the fashion- able summer resort from an air- clever newspaperman, who wanted to prove that some of the stories he had been writing could be And how the blue-bloods fell| for the little waitress, just because she cerried a title, is the theme of “Her Wild Oat,” starring Colleen Moore. It is a big feature bubbling over with all comedy. “Her Wild Oat” comes to the Palace for Tuesday and Wednes- day and the orchestra will play for both shows each night. { Colleen Moore is supported by an excellent cast in this feature. v “MIDNIGHT MADNESS” COMING TO COLISEUM | £ o Chalk up a hitherto undiscovered talent for Jocqueline Logan. During the making of “Midnight Madness” in which she plays the featured role, it developed that this pul- chritudinous DeMille screen artist is an excellent rifle shot!
