A \piece of table silver- ware will be given every woman at- tending either of the evening per- formances. Pathos And Laughter. In “Politics” in which Miss Dress- | ler makes her first appearance as a full-fledged cinema star, pathos mingles with laughter, and thrills compete with heart interest. Perhaps the story was purposely written to give her an opportunity to show every side of her many talents. Anyhow, it does. etls roars of laughter in her scenes with Miss Mora vivid scene in the political meeting where Miss Dressler face the crooked mayor, she does an ex- ptionally fine piece of character rk, from a timid housewife she changes to an accusing figure | representing womanhood and dom- { of personality. Is Of Both Types Those who have seen her in “Anna Christie” or “Min and Bill" know her character work. Those who have seéen “Caught Short” or “Reducing” know how she garners laughs. In this picture Mar Dressler is of both types. The theme of the play is that Miss Dressler is a candidate for mayor. | Miss Moran.

And oven {her matrimonial venture, the movie |camera was yécording _another| |change of consequence. For, in| 'starting anew the career she sacri- ficed to become the wife of the | world's heavyweight champion, Es- | telle Taylor was to portray her first | sympathetic character on the screen. Two Years In.New York Samuel GoldWwyn's screen version of “Street Scene,” the Elmer Rice {prize drama which ran two solid (vears in New York, is the vehicle in which Mis Taylor's character change takes place. And it is un- jder the direction of King Vidor, that it is accomplished. Miss Taylor's role in “Street {Scene,” which will be previewed at the Capitol theatre at 1 o'clock to- night and be shown at reguldr per- | formances Sunday, is that. of Mrs Maurrant. the mother whose tragic life forms the burden aroynd which the poignant and gripping dramsa ‘evolves. o Portrays Mrs. Maurrant The fact that this Mrs. Maurrant {1s unfaithful to her husband and bays with her Jife for her trans- gressions, may to those who do not know Elmer Rice's story, sound like the Estelle Taylor of old, — the ‘vampire, But this famous playwnight did not set out to jérk the strings of. an eternal triangle.

Pity Is Profound Elmer Rice in the depth of his wisdom leaves it to the audience to Justify or condemn, but he presents the events preceding and following her tragedy with a profound, pity. With equal impartiality and poig- nancy he shows the blight which the mother’s tragedy casts upon the daughter and her boyish suitor, played by Sylvia Sidney and Wil- liam Collier, Jr. Minus Luxurious Lures ‘'Street Scene’ ’'shows Miss Tay- lor divested of the Juxurious lureof clothes and sex, It is a role not of sex appeal but heart appeal. In her face are the lines of care, of fear and despair and the hunger for the tenderness and appréciation which marriage has fver given her.
