At Theatres i BILLIE DOVE IS NOW FEATURED A TPALACE EBillie Dove, is proving more sure- | 1y, with every picture that she mdkes, that she is more than the “sé’reen's most beautiful woman.” f “Her Private Life” doesn’t estab- lish her as one of the screen’s most capable actress, this critic misses his guess. Heading the bill at the Palace Theatre, “Her Private Life” pre- septs Miss Dove in a highly dra- matic. plot. Its atmosphere of re- fined, aristocratic life is a relief, | especially in a talking picture, from the, “show girl” type of film, with its “dese, dem and dose” slanguage. If you didn't see Billie in “Ca- her initial talking ‘picture fo First National, you'll be glad togjearn that her voice in the new meium is as beautiful as her scipen presence. It fits her, too. And inyé'Her Private Life” either the re- p¥duction is even better than be- fof€or she has improved with “tatkie” practice. ‘Walter Pidgeon, her leading man, charms as much by his voice as by his handsome and striking screen personality. Ideally fitted for the part of a gentlemanly, sporting young American who visits in Eng- land and wins the heart of the English girl, then loses her for his sister’s honor, Pidgeon wins new laurels in the film. Holmes Herbert turns in a mas- terly “talkie” performance as usual. Montague Love, Thelma Todd, Mary Forbes, Brandon Hurst, Zasu Pitts and Roland Young, principals of the supporting cast, are also uni- formly excellent.

To prove her right to the title of the greatest woman swimmer of all time, she has not only broken 11 records but has defeated the record holders with ease in compe- tition.
