llArI0nDADleS EHlelS In
Her Latest Film

To tho accompaniment Of one
OF the most naelodious scores
heard from Gannon's Palace SYM
phony in some weeks. Cosmopoli-
tan Productions presents the ir-s
resistible Marion Davies in q
screen adaptation Of the legiti-
mate play BY Guy Bolton and
George Middleton, Adam and
Eva. at Loew's Palace Theater
this week. No better evenings
entertainment than this clever
comedy can be imagined. It is
q cInemactic triumph.
All the sparkling wit that dis
tinguished the lines Of the original
play has been transferred to the
silversheet by the use of q bOunti-
!. full supply Of clever subtitlesa to
back up the work Of the extraor-
dinar1iy capable cast; Joseph LIr.s
ban settings have cast an Illusion
OF beauty over the entire film

az q matter of course notable in
this respect being q Venetian
pageant scene wherein exquisite
settings, romantic costuning and
remarkable cinernatOgraphy com,
bine to create an act Of almost
aWe-inspiring beauty and illusion.
And to pile praise upon praise,
the miinetic qualities Of Miss
Davies herself were never seen to
better advantage.
In fact, there were some COM
ments last evening to the effect
that the petite blonde star was far
more appealing and captivating as
Eva King. first in her gorgeous
gowns and later in the simple
garb Of country lass, than she
was in the role Of Mary Tudor In
the WelI-remembered Knight

discovered in adam and Eva" a
certain winsoEneneag and charm
to the talented Marion that here
tofore has been relegated to the
background by the requirements
of her roles; the faint austerity Of
Mary Tudor has been baniShed by
the frankly charming American
girl part which she now carries
off with such coneummat0 ease.
