CLARA BOW AT THE STRAND Those movie-goers who have alwa thought that Clara Bow had the monopoly on that vague but real, elusive but stable thing—*It,” were given a chance to reenforce their convictions last night, but they were forced to admit that even if Clara has the monopoly there are a num- ber of near-monopolizers in the of- fing. For Paramount has packed more “It" girls into *“The Wild Party” than ever were called to the support of a single star before. There are 12 of these “starlets” in the cast with Clara Bow. The story of “The Wild Part; . from lh‘pen of Warner Fabian, au- thor of *Flaming Youth,” is a tale of a girl who falls in love with one of her teachers, a young man who | returns her love in spite of her ca- pricious attendance at wild parties. Underlying the spirit of unfettered .youth, however, is the steadfast loy- alty of the girl for her chum and | ‘room-mate, and when the ecritical !test of that loyalty comes, Clara tells | a lie to save her girl-friend from disgrace. The climax forces Clara to leave college, but the professor, the man she loves, decides that he too, will forsake the academic ex- istence for the prosaic life in the busy workaday world. It is now at: the Strand showing continugusly daily, The vaudeville bill will offer “Car- | rolls Revue,” a musical song and dance offering with eight clever artists; Marty May “himself Knowles and Hurst in a “Tangled Conversation”; Diaz and Powers in “Frolics on the Wire"; and the O'Brien Sisters Company, in a med- ley of syncopation. On Thursday the Strand will present Warner Brothers' vitaphone talking picture “Kid Gloves,” with Conrad Nagle and Lois Wilson, and beginning next Sunday Willlam Haines with Joan Crawford in “The Duke Steps Out.” RIALTO THEATER In “The Little Buckaroo,” made under the direction of Louis King, Buzz introduces a new kind of flying leap from horseback to the drivel seat of a racing stagecoach, drawn by run-away horses. This most dif- ficult and dangerous feat was ac- compished by the young star in the face of violent protest from the di- rector, who wished to get a double, but Buzz would not hear of anyone else taking the chances for him.

That is the germ of the plot, but it does not begin to describe the fascination of hearing the trio—Warner Baxter, Dorothy Burgess and Edmund Lowe—speak their lines; of the accompanying sounds and the novelty of having a score of famous film players in the supporting cast, among whom are Farrell Macdonald, Ivan Linow, Frank Campeau, Tom Santschi and Roy Stewart, also speak. Vitaphone acts are also featured. On Thursday Texas Guinan will be featured in the all talkie “Quecen of the Night Clubs."
