ciety that never existed, probably,
outside of Hollywood. That is what
PEOPLE remember, and it is what
they go to see. And so last night,
when the latest production, Man
slaushter"-of the accepted De
Mile pattern, only more so-was
shown in the Empire Theatre, every
seat was taken and people were
standing three deep behind the or
cEestra rail long before seven
o'clock. Don't think We are finding
fault; if there is anything more
fascinating than this colorful sort
of thing. done by a master, we do
not know what it is.
For example: There is New
York revel in what the screen
vaguely terms a famous roadhouse."
Here pleasure mad society is run
ming its feverish course. There are
wonderful women in gowns that re-
veal enough, and cost enough, to
make any but blind man gasp.
Rivers of champagne flow every
where. Rose petals float down
upon the heads of the dancers And
yct-it is all done so artistically, so
insinuatingly. The one sane note
in the revcl is supplied by the young
district attorney. Real roses, real
champagne" says he. "EVerythlnG
but real men and women"
And 10. the scene fades and blends
into as gorgeous a Bacchanalian
rcvel of old Rome as anybody ever
saw; Nuban slaves and Roman
guards; giant tigers, held by golden
chains. that snap and snarl; hun
dreds upon hundreds of half-clad
dancers who beat in swirling, ed
dying tide against tall pillars and a
marble throne. Again the scene
fades and blends-into the twentieth
century revel again; and it is done
50 inGeniously that YOU arc struck
hy the comparison, for each of the
Roman reve1erS seems to have his
or her modern counterpart. And
tic screen asks, in effect, if the mad.
pleasure loving society of today isn't
heading America iretty much To-
ward the place where the Roman
empire went?
Through the scenic cmDTOlueTE
runs the very interesting story of a
pleasure mad society girl who lures
4 traffic policeman to his death;
who is deliberately sent to prison by
tie earnest young district attorney
who loves-not her, but the girl he
thinks she might grow to be: and
who, within the cold walls of the
prison, finds that she has a soul All
her life she has been a woman who
has taken-now she becomes a wom-
on who gives. The screen might
well have quoted that strong line
from another r,ay: opportunity
isn't geographical; it lies within ones
self"
Thomas Meighan enacts the dis
trict attorney with his usual quiet
strength. Leatrice Joy. whose beau
ty and style most people rave about,
is the girl who finds her soul. Lois

work as another sort of girl-an I'M
