S = Unless otherwise indicatpd, theatrical written by press agedcles for the AT THE PALACE “What Price Glory,” the merry war film tomorrow at the Palace -theater, is a screen play without a villain. Another novel feature of it is that you can use your own dis- cretion in picking the hero. Nobody will dispute that the fiery Char- maine, played by Dolores Del Rio, is a more than adequate heroine, and that Privates Kiper and Lipinsky supply all the comedy necessary. In making the film, Raoul Walsh resolutely stuck to the same ide There wasn't going to be any vil- lain in his scheme of things, and if a hero or heroes were nccessary, they wouldn't be of the mold com- monly visible upon the screen. And 50 the audience can take its choice of the big hearted, bombastic Flagz, and the handsome, unscrupulous Quirt. But whichever is the hero, they have one thing in common— they are both real men.
