THE RED IO 10 BE AT LYCEUM Mrs, Wallace Reid's Dramatic Story of Lile's Extremes Mrs, Wallace Reld comes to front once more with a picture deal- (g with one of civilization's most Nital problems. It asks the ques- tion, “What chance of redemption has the woman who discards the red kimono and puts her life of shame behind her for a life of use- fulness and honor; and then pro- cceds to answer by showing that her chance Is a slim one, This ple- ture, “The Red Kimono,” with Priscilla Bonner in the leading role, supported by Mary Carr, Virginia Pearson, Theodore Von wltz, Shel- don Lewls, Tyrone FPower, Carl Hiller and Nellie Bly Baker, opens at the Lycenm tomorrow evening to continue through next Wednes- day On the same program with “The Red Kimono" 15 “Wreckag adaption of the novel “Salvage.” In the cast are May Allison, Rosemary Thelby and James Morrison. Tt is a story of intrigue, of gem smug- zling In the Pacific and of love in the troples. A storm scene provides the big kiek, For the last the half of the week the Lyceum is bringing Douglas MacT.can in his greatest comedy drama, “Introduce Me,” and Na- tacha Rambova, better known as Mrg, Rudolph Valentino, in “When Love Grows Cold.” “The Red Kimono” is an espe- clally noteworthy pleture because it handles a daring subject in a dar- ing way, yet carries with it a tre- mendous lesson, Mrs. Reid person- elly directed the picture which tells the simple story of an unfortunate girl who kills her betrayer and who, after trial and acquittal for murder, tries to fight her way back to re- demption. The contrast includes high life and the seamy side and the greatest sympathy is maintained for ‘the chief character. Clive Brook plays opposite Mrs. Valentino in “When Love Grows C‘old,” which is her first starring ve- hicle, Laura Jean Libbey's cele- Lrated novel is the basis of the story, which deals with the mis- fuided young inventor whose sud- den rise to wealth brings great do- méstic difficulties with his wife. In this picture, unlike Mrs. Val- entino's real life, the trouble docs not end in the divorce courts and at the close of the picture there is a reconcillation made possible by the unfailing devotion of the wife. STAGE AND SCREEN Jetta Goudal, emotional French actress, is to be screendom’s newest star. I B. DeMille made this au- nouncement as he left Hollywood for a business trip to New York. ““Fhe public made the decision, not me,” declared the noted producer, ho is going east to complete final arrangements for this season's pro- dneing schedule, “The tremendous success of Jetta Goudal in 'Three Faces Bast’ has brought down upon us a deluge of Jetters asking that greater promi- nence.be given this exotic actress of thie coal black hair and strange eyes. In cight months Miss Goudal has had three outstanding parts in ‘The ltoad to Yesterday,' ‘The Coming of Amos’ and “Three Taces Fast.’ These have gained for her wide pub- lic approval. “We have glven Miss Goudal for Jier first starring stories, two very colorful tales—one tenfatively titled Her Man® and the second a splendid- vivid novel, ‘Fighting Love/’ has gained famve under the horship of Rosita Forbes. o me Miss Goudal is one of the most vivid persons we have yet had in motion pictures and as vividness is & much-desired quality in the field of entertainment, Tam confldent that within a year Jetta Goudal will be outstanding among those who hold stellar rank in pictures,” “The Vanishing American” from | Zane Grey's epic of the American | Indian, opens Sunday night at the Capitol to continue through Wednes- day with a special 4:15 matinee for school children cach afternoon.

As a matter of fact, the theme of this picture is the famons story by Laura Jean Libby, The theme, instead of being divorce, is wifely devotion and unfalling loyalty.

The entire program camo through well from WJZ, and it was diversified enough to please even tho most eritical, .. ast Hartford possesses plenty of excellent sololsts, We found that out as we listened to that town's community night program from WTIC. The only trouble, the same trouble, and the foremost troublo with that program, {n common with others ol its type, was that it was v too long. Not that we're panning the program by any means. The array of talent was by far the best we have heard on any program of that type, The soloists could not have been improved upon and, al- though we heard only the two hours of the offering, not once did we hear a vocalist who was not right up to snuff. And then, agaln, th had a little girl up there who gave several readings. She was clever and her manner bespoke the fact that she had had careful ning in elocu- tion. Ier name was Alice Westbrook. And then again, Ernie Wardell, who broke into the studio unannounced, told some clever jokes and got away big. He appeared to be a profes- slonal and an old hand at the game, since he didn't get wise at any time. He @ the audience credit for hav- ing sense of humor. His delivery was that of an artist and we respeet him highly for alone, But (whisper) we didn't care much for the dance orchestra. Send stamped and s ldressed envelope for fur- ther information.
