fHITE GOLD IS LYGEUM FEATURE i150 “Paying the Price” and the| Talking Movies A A heroic conflict of human emo- s, a tremendous picture drama at plumbs the depths of a wom- s soul, such is “White Gold,”| arring Jetta Goudal and Kenneth hompson which opens at the Ly-! sum tomorrow evening. On this ame bill is “Paying the Price,” aj sensational drama of those who step bdidly into places they should have| approached with cautious steps, the usual news reels and again a big all star vaudeville booking presented by the DeForest Phonofilms, the noteworthy talking movies, The talking movie program in- cludes none other than the famous Phil Baker, master of accordion and other instruments and a come-| dian of no mean a v who has| been featured by the Schuberts dur- ing the past season. He appes with his company. in an act calle “Bunk.” Another high spot of the talk- ing movie program is John Brook and Goodie Montgomery in dance and comedy sketch. Roxy selected “White Gold! the opening of his great New York theater and in this picture New Britain fans are nred of a grip- ping story that sweeps from the pic- turesque dance halls of Mexico to the barren desert count of the. great American southwest, involv- ing a beautiful dancing girl, a young sh -raiser, a revengeful father and “the other man.” This drama affords Jetta Goudal a role that is radically different from any she has heretofore essayed. She s the dominant note in a vast symphony ©of hatreds and human p: ons. Mary Carr, Priscilla and Marjorle Bonner, George Hackathorne, Wil- liam Welsh and other well known performers have leading parts in “Paying the Price.” What goes on behind the scenes of the gilded pal- aces that make up the show places of a noted resort clty is startlingly revealed in this drama. It is a powerful story of the depths to which human beings can descend and of tite heights to which mother love ascends.
