It| is to Miss Woodward’s particular re- gret that her present role is so/| short and does not permit a scene with her favorite son in the play,| Colonel Philippe Bridau. The seats are now on sale, The demand for seats {8 heavy and a most success- ful engagement is looked for. AT JHE PALACE “The Sporling Venus' is one of| the features at the Palace for to-| day and tomorrow. The picture was| directed by Marshall Neilan. In this| picture Neilan has brewed a unique| combination of comedy and melo- drama, developed many new situ-| ations and put a happy ending on| | his picture. Blanche Sweet, who has already won wide fame as a leading trage- | dian, plays a role in “The Sport-| ing Venus” with a great deal of comedy. Ronald Colman is the handsome lover, and Lew Cody is the impoverished count, who must | marry money to keep out of jall.| The story ia full of comedy surprises | with a Louch of melo here and| The fulfilment of her ambition will be seen commencing Sunday at | the Capitol theater when Metro- | Goldwyn-Mayer will present her in the role. “NOBODY'S WIDOW”—LYCEUM Leatrice Joy, with ringlets and | marcels, Charles Ray, as a distin. guished Britisher, an ardent wooer | and a polite comedian, and David | Butler as his foil, and Phyllis Haver as a dashing flapper, all give a rare exhibition of comedy drama acting in the Lyceum feature, “Nobody's Widow.” On the same bill s Wil- liam Fairbanks in “A Fight to the Finish.” In “Nobody’'s Widow,” that is just what Leatrice Joy is. Finding her husband with another woman a few minutes after her marriage, she jumps to a false conclusion, leaves him and returns to her home, pos- ing as a widow. Starting tomogrow, a double (en- ture program will bring to the 10-‘ cal screen again that star of dra- | matic parts, Bert Lytell, and that master of comedy, Walter Heirs, in “The First Night.” The latest episode of “The House Without a Key"” also is slated, and the other feature is “The Roaring Forties.” LYCEUM Tonight Only NOBODY’S WIDOW Leatrice Joy and Charles Ray and Willlam Fairbanks in A FIGHT TO A FINISH Thurs,—Fri.—Sat.
