Classic of the Screen, opens tonight at the Coliseum. Matt Moore and Dorothy Devore head the cast which includes Wil- lard Louis, Gayne Whitman, Helen Lynch, John Patrick, Frank Bond and Nora Cecil. Moore plays a shy young bride- groom separated from his bride on their wedding day, and Miss De- Yore is more appealing than ever in Her lovely bridal costume. Gregory Rogers' entertaining story of the adventures of an in-! nocent: young American abroad in the wilds of Paris was adapted to the screen by Darryl Francis Zan- uck and directed by Roy Del Ruth. It. abounds in riotous moments at which matinee audiences rocked- ed in their seats with mirth, and | has an unexpected climax which| 1t would be unfair to divulge. F[' “AMERICAN BEAUTY” AT | PALACE, LAST TIMES | ! What is proving to be one of the most popular pictures which has been at the Palace Theatre in' mom,hs is “American Beauty,” the First National production in which £ Billie Dove plays the starring role. ' It is a whimsical comedy drama, b uced for First National Pictures Carey Wilson, and adapted from a short story by Wallace Irwin. It is directed by Richard Wallace. | Liody. Hughes plays the masculine ' lead opposite Miss Dove, with Wal- ter MeGrail, Margaret Livingston, | Lucien Prival, Al St John, Edythe Chapman, Alice White, Yola d’Avril and -other prominent film players' in the supporting cast. “American Beauty” is on fox the last two times - tonight. & | “MANTRAP” IS FEATURE ? | AT COLISEUM SUNDAY | S Don't think that vamps or flap-| pers are entirely confined to bl‘ cities! -Clara Bow, who plays the leading feminine role in “Mantrap,” which comes to the Coliseum Sunday, proves that both are more danger- ous In isolated communities, where | they can appeal .to the sympathies of lonely men. kaunmflyml— 3| credit. form his principal clients in fash- ionable ¢ases (Percy Marmont), and a manicure girl from Mintieapolis, who has married and gone to live in a Canadian woods trading post (Clara Bow). There is also a “Babbitt” manufacturer, a “know- it-all” tourist, (Eugene Pallette) campers who may have met this pest while on a camping expedition. “Mantrap” is pronounced Sinclair Lewis' best piece of fiction. CABARET DANCER AT | PALACE ON SUNDAY ki £ “Midnight Rose,” the Universal picture which will be shown at the Palace Sunday, is a wholly pleasing combination of the romantic and realistic. Certainly the baring of two hearts in the skillful way Director James Young has accomplished it, is. revelatory. . Lya De Putti and |Kenneth Harlan give, without a jdoubt, the most sincere and pro- found characterizations of their careers. Miss De Putti is a ca- baret dancer in whom the insidious poison of night life has sunk its fangs. Her fight against the im- |pulses of some intensely emotional |scenes which brand her as one of (the screen’s most talented actress- |es, surpassed by none. Harlan has a difficult role in which he acquits himself with great It is that of a reformed gangster trying to lift the girl he ,loves from the underworld he has {left.

The | grammatically intriguing “I do not choose to run” may have answered | the question in the minds of some, | but it did not do so with the ma- jority of American citizens.
