Y. “Speakeasy,” Fox Movietone all talking production adapted from tha celebrated, stage play by Edward Knoblock and George Rosener and coming to the Capitol theater, Sun< day for 4 days. is hailed as a fast moving panorama of New VYork night life, abundantly punctuated with thrilling dramatic climaxes and rib-rocking camedy twists. In selecting players for the prin- cipal roles for this all-talking photoplay, Benjamin Stoloff, di- rector, literally combed the the- atrical field. While preparations for the production of the story were in progress it was decided that only players with a fertile background of stage training be chosen. For this purpose the director Sourneyed to New York, where he “discovered,” for the films, two of Gotham's most - promising voung stars, Lola lLane and Paul Page. These two players were _cast at ence in leading roles for Speak- easy,” and likewise placed under a long-term contract by Fox Movie- tone executives. Page portrays the character of Paul Martin, college Lred fight champion, who is saved trom the clutches of an unscrupu- Jous band of gangsters through the effort of a newspaper girl, Alice Woods, played by Lola Lane. Henry B. Walthall, veteran of both stuge and screen, is cast in a role peculiarly adaptable fo fine command of emotisnal expression. He is cast as Fuzzy, speakeasy loafer, who gives his life that the Jouthful lovers may be reunited. In the character of Big Min, spcakeasy hostess, is Helen Ware, Etar of many stage suc ter is said to be amazing.
