"WHiLE NEW YORK SLEEPS
AT THE COLONIAL THEATRE
WE'D. & THURS.-19 q Goth

The press agent who has announced
while New York Sleeps" an eight
reel Fox Special, as the most sensa-
tional and artistic melodrama of all
time" does not realize how close he
has really come to the mark. In fact,
this writer cannot find it in his heart
(or his experience) to disagree with
him
Night life in New York among the
several strata of society in that cos
mopolitan city is pictured with won
drous fidelity in the three acts or epi-
sodes which compose the picture. The
play abounds with spectacular Incl
dents and yet the thing that remains
in the memory after seeing while
New York Sleeps" is the almost in
tor Charles J. Brabin has succeeded
in endowing his great picture.
Some magnificent views of the
bright spots along The Great White
Way have been used in the picture.
For instance. there is a dancing num-
ber from Florenz Ziegfeld's popular
Midnight Frolic girl-and-music show,
together with gorgeous cabaret scenes
from the Cafe Palais Royal.
Then the action plunges over to the
East Side where we see a tragedy in
the lives of tempestuous shop girl,
her puny, gentle-hearted husband
whom she despises, the sanity, paraly
tic father of the man, and the gang
ster leader OF a band of thieves. In
this episode occurs a thrilling revol-
yer battle between the famous New
York police boat and LAUGH full of
desperadoes.
In addition to the remarkable ten
sity of the three stories and the inter
est in connection with the spectacular
features that the director has intro
duced into the picture are the splen-
did characteriZations effected by the
small but eminent cast of players who
portray the principal parts Seldom il
even in the history Of the screen has
any group of players acquitted them
selves so admirably.
The cast is composed of Estelle
Taylor, one OF the most beautiful and
capable Of the younger actresses of
the screen today; Marc MacDermott.
