Palace Summer Opening
Headed by Gus Edwards
Liquid Refreshment Free TO
Patrons; New Bills Offered
by Other Houses

With the seats clad in cool, gray
pajamas and free orangeade and fans
at the patrons elbow, the Palace
Theater officially called yesterday the
opening of the summer season. The
orangeade bar is to be fixture
through June, July and August.
Gus Edwards Song Revue, with Gus
himself and happy flock of girl and
boy proteges, heads the bill this week.
Gus bulks big and pleasantly in his
own part, but gives the more youth
full, nimble and beautiful complement
of the show plenty to do. The comedy
IS good fun. the dances are of the
syncopated moment, the songs bright
in lyrics and catchy in tune and the
scenery and costumes attractive.
Edwards's chief assistants are Alice
and Hazel Furness and Chester
Fredericks.

TOO Muel, Speed at Rivoh,,
Voice in, Dark" at Capitol,
I Offer Strong Contrasts
By Harriette Underhill

"Too Much Speed at the Rivoli is
more warm weather entertainment.
Wallace Reid has been attractive
ever since he stopped emoting and
took to smiling. AS comedian he is
unsurpassed and as speed demon he
is without peer. There is something
about Mr.. Reid's particular style of
humor that demands racing car and
speedway for background. When
he lmpersonates pedestrian we thinl,
ne is pretty good; when he imperson-
ates chauffeur we think he is great.
In his new picture. "Too Much Speed"
Mr.. Reid is seen as Dusty Rhoades, a
man who owns motor cars and loves
to drive them himself in races. AS a
matter of fact, he can't help racing
even when he is driving to his own
wedding, and that is why his near
father-in-law broke off the wedding at
the last moment and why he had to
elope with his bride and why he was
arrested for speeding and why he de-
cided to surreptitiously buy an old
the 25o-mile race, and why he won
and why he finally received fathers
blessing.
Frank Wilson has directed the pic
ture with discretion we'll mixed with
imagination. He doesn't work to keep
his star in front of the camera everN
moment. He gives other people a
chance. Among them are beautiful
Agnes Ayres as the eloped- daugh-
ter and Theodore Roberts as the
father. Of course, it goes without
saying that Mr.. Roberts gives a per-
feet performance. No one can do
that sort of thing so we'll unless it be
George Fawcett. The entire cast is so
good that we are going to mention
them all. They are Jack Richardson,
Lucien Littlefield, Guy Oliver, Henry
johnson and Jack Herbert, not forget
ting the man who gave a remarkably
good oneminute performance as the
judge. His name is not on the pro-
gram.
The story is by Byron Morgan. The
titles are excellent. The comedy is

there is fascinating educational

Amata Grassi and Senia Gluckoff give
an Italian dance to Mendelssohn's
"Salterello." The dance is done in the
style of the Comedie de lArte and

to interpolate talking pictures in his
latest feature, "The Voice in the
Dark" at the Capitol Theater, the ef-
feet would have been wonderful. Even
the people who say they do not care
for the speakies can see how startling
lit would have been to have had the
screen mapped in shadows and then
to have voice leap out of the gloom
and say: "In a moment Of madness |
shot him. Oh, what shall do? Help
me to escape" OF course that was
how it was played on the stage, but in
the screen version one had to be con-
by blind man who could not tell who
| the speaker was. 1t was, however,
better done than one would have ex-
pected where there could not possibly
be any voice. We wondered how they
were going to get around that, for in
the stage production the scenes are
| played as they appeared to a deaf
woman and then as they sounded TO
blind man.
Of course, for the screen, it has been
necessary to change the story in some
one could reasonably expect. We
fancy that chose of the spectators who
had rot seen the play enjoyed the
picture more than those who had.
The moral to the story is that If
you are young doctor you must not
make love indiscriminately or if you
do do not be so foolish as to WOO two
| sisters, to say nothing of nurse in
the sanatorium where one of the SIS
ters is staying. Also the nurse had a
| brother who was in love with the alllng
sister too; brother who knew that
| she had been betrayed by aforesaid
| young doctor. Now, how could this
doctor think he was going. to carry
on without getting shot? He did get
shot, rather neatly, too; for no one
knew who did it--he least of all, even
if he had been in position to tell,
which he wasn't, being dead.
We hope you will not sit behind a
man who insists on telling who did the
picture We had this experience,
though it didn't matter, for we had
seen the play But it did grieve US to
hear him call it "The verse in the
/ dark"
Frank Lloyd has made the picture
and there are no stars in it. The cast
/ is adequate, but as whole would win
no beauty prizes. Alec Francis gives
the best performance as the blind man,
end Gertrude Norman is good, too, as
