The hokum of the courts, the de- vious ways of. career-seeking district attorneys, of the newspapers and of juries, all are presented in the farce hat they too often are. The whole story, keeping close to the play’s orig- inal satire, is amusing and holds in- verest thruout. Beginning splendidly, 00 complicated a plot soon makes the picture a bit weary, but in concluding with the court room scenes, it gathers speed and proves as a whole a really good evening’s entertainment. Phyllis Haver, once a movie bath- ing beauty, plays Roxie Hart, “Chi- cago’s Most Beautiful Murderess.” und we were by no means effected like the jury that acquitted her. She presents a dumb but cold-bloodedly shrewd, notoriety-hunting female, as true to character as any that ever hogged the limelight in the tabloids. it is enjoyable characterization. She is supported by a capable cast. Victor Varconi, Robert Edeson, T. Roy Barnes and other names with movie following give good account of them- selves in making “Chicago” a much beter picture than the usual. It is well photographed. The direct- ing is spotted with most clever flashes. The satire is consistently laugh-provoking. “Chicago” is not essentially a bitter arraignment of iegal procedure tho it does leave the courts open to some unflattering as- eae Her work is surprisingly splendid— } Artists 8 Models The Actor-Managers present The LOVE NEST, A Satirical Comedy by R.
