Antonio has gone over to melodrama. The handsome star portrays anj adventurous bootleg. king in ‘“The Midnight Taxi,” a Warner Bros.’ thrill drama which comes to the Coliseum tonight. Antonio Moreno has long been a prime favorite as an ardent love- maker. His appearance opposite Greta Garbo in “The Temptress,” Clara Bow in “It,” and Constance Talmadge in “The Venus of Ven-! jee” are recent instances in which his Spanish fire won him acclaim With Helene Costello as the lady of his heart, Moreno’s wooing in “The Midnight Taxi” takes a dif- ferent turn. He is essentially a man of adventure and daring, with a craving for two-fisted action. The story concerns the operations of a Pacific Coast bootleg ring, and was adapted to the screen by Har- vey Gates from a story by Gregory Rogers. John Adolfi directed. In the cast with Moreno and Miss Costello are Myrna Loy, William Russell, Bobbie Agnew, Tom Dugan, Pat Hartigan and Jack Santoro.

It is an Alfred San- tell production, made under the production management of Al Rock- ett and comes to the Palace tonight after a sensational run on Broad- way. Where thousands are trying vain- 1y to break into the movies, Kolb was fairly jerked into them, from a job driving an Edison Electric truck in New York. Six months ago a picture execu- tive saw him pass on his truck. He sent his chauffeur to get his name being struck by his immense size. John throught he was being ar- rested and tried to drive on. He was signed to a contract to play with First National picture the next day and sent to Hollywood. He still believed he was the victim of a practical joke and had it writ- ten in his contract that at the end of six months if he didn't like pic- tures First National would see that he got his job back driving his truck.
