Empress-"Husbands and Wives,'
and THE Palace of Darkencd
Windows"

Vivian Martin opens the cinema
program at the Empress theater this
week with a charming attraction,
Husbands and Wives" The pic
tufe remains until Thursday.
The story is of a northern society
girl who is literally carried away
by a southern man of moderate
means. Her new life in a small,
southern, narrow minded town seems
to her to be a series of "don'ts."
How he struggles to bend her to do
his will and she, though struggling
back, is finally subdued by the won-
derful power of love, gives Miss
Martin right opportunity to show
her talent.
"The Palace of Darkened Win
dows" plays the latter half of this
week at the Empress.
The picture deals with the life and
customs of East India. A young
American girl, anxious to gain an
insight into the mysterious abode
of a raiah. consents to enter the
realm of the latter and in short
time finds herself unable to cope
with the situation staring her in
the face.

Comedy Must Come
BY Instinct, Noted
COmedienne Says

What is it in comedy that gets
into dramatic stardom?
Among the foremost film stars TO-
day are various young women whose
earliest career commenced in comedy
studios when the famous charmers
were employed almost exclusively
to furnish decorative background"
Gloria Swanson, Mabel Normand,
Mary Thurman, Betty Compson,
Ora Carewe and Juanita Hansen all
started in the black-and-blue drama
and filmdom officials assert today
that Miss Swanson is drawing $500
a week where five years ago her
weekly pay check numbered but two
figures.
Practically the newest charmer
slated to emerge from the ranks of
the comedy beauties is Mildred
Davis, who, in two years, has con-
sistently won favor as Harold
Lloyd's screen partner, and who is
soon expected to step out as an in
dividual star.
The reasons for the ex-comedy
actresses success in drama are, ac-
cording to Miss Davis: first, girls in
comedy must be photographically
pretty; second, they must learn to
use their brain in putting over ex-
temporaneous business not called for
in the scenario, and third, they must
be physically vigorous.
people think there is nothing to
do in comedy" Miss Davis said, "a1l
OF, which is a mistake. When we
rehearse we get a scene from a GER
tain angle. Perhaps in its final TAX
ing we may suddenly see something
which will inject laugh into our
business, which we put over without
rehearsal.
'We learn from the very first to
pick out the meat of a situation.
Comedy footage is SO brief that ev-
cry inch of action must count. And
lastly, we must have infinite patience
and be willing to rehearse fire.

of her husband, King Vidor.
Mary Thurman is being greeted
