Mystery-NiXon Grand

All Of the subtle thrills of the occult are
dispensed by the Girl of the Thousand Eyes,
who is the headlner at the Grand this week,
The power displayed by this girl In delv-
ing into matters which are supposed to be
beyond the grasp of human agency was
almost uncanny, and excited the wonder
ment Of the audience. 1t seemed as though
this young womans mind penetrated into
the innermost thoughts of the audience. The
Girl of the Thousand Eyes has an Oriental
caste of countenance, which is in keeping
with her act.
There were other bright, snappy acts on
the program, including Sylvester and Vance
THE Breeze that Blew" Bolger Brothers

RUBY-"Slns Of Her Parent" Fox with
GLADYS Brockwall. Story by Thomas Forman,
directed by Frank LLOYD.
William FoX's usual product has been
distinguished more often by vigor of treat
ment and melodramatlc grip than subtlety
or shading OF emotion. His latest release
is no exception, but il does take on added
luster through the remarkable acting Of a
remarkable young woman, Gladys Brock
we'll. who before she went TO that company
had done some extraordinarily telling and
vivid bits with Fine Arts. Here she
has the stage all TO herself playing two
parts, and playing them sincerely and emo,
tionalfy. The story is good Of its kind but
the direction has a flaw here and there
stressed by lack OF continuity and an ocear
Of leaders. 1t is sufficiently well acted by
the cast.

REGENT-"The Men She Married" World
Brady, with Gail Kane. Arthur Ashley, Mon
tagu Love and Murel Ostriche.
Until thester managements make a prac-
tice OF putting the names Of director and
author ON programs it won't be possible
always for the film reviewers to give credit
and lack of the same-when il is due. In
this case neither is of much importance, for
this new World film relies mainly on its
capital cast-often a redeeming feature Of
Mr.. Brady's pictures-and on the meo-
dramatic excitement of its closing scenes.
The story, luridly theatrical. is sufficiently
well managed to bring out its dime.novel
punch, and while ii doesn't convince, II does
| interest. II Miss Kane only would learn
the rudiments Of movie makeup she would
| be one of the strongest and most pictorial
| OF screen artists. Her rouged mouth recalls
| the worst eNcesses of Blanche Sweet and
| Mary Pickford in their early days. And
| they had the excuse of the times. Messrs.
| Love and Ashley are both excellent as hero
and villain In a feature which somehow
| escaped the censor.

TO any popular novelist or fictional princi-
pality, there is very little here. The story
Is not of the film kind. IL wanders along
pleasantly enough through the financial and
sentimental adventures of the Prince Robin

American millionaire and not half so much
from his French birth as from the absurd
