CHARMING GLADYS SEEN IN COMEDY
Capitol Offers Walton Picture As FirSt-Run Offering For
 Thanksgiving Day

A unique conception of the term wild party" is presented in Uni versals current Gladys Walton pro duction, now showing at the Capitol theatre,
 The particular wild party from. which this photoplay gets it's title is a study in confusion. And out of the confusion evolves a farce comedy that is more than ordinarily enter taining.
 The story is built around news paper article that resulted in threatened libel action. The succeed ing events find the girl reporter who wrote the article striving frantically to prove the truth of her statements.
 The picture makes no pretense od being other than a farce comedy. It is a light and airy little play with comedy situations following each other in rapid succession. Miss Wal ton is attractive as the society re- porter who "scooped" the rival news papers with a story that was all wrong. She hasn't as much to do as in some of her previous pictures, but the picture as whole is well bal anced and the action of the support ing cast is well divided.
 Robert Ellis is a good looking and effective leading man and makes the most of his opportunities. Sidney Brace offers several laughs by his antics as the storm tossed bootleg ger.
 "The Wild Party" is a first run picture, the Capitol management hay ing booked it especially for Thanksgiving attraction.
