NOTED CAST IN
 FEATURED FILM
Ashes Of Vengeance At Capi- tol Beginning Monday-Has
 Many Stars

Commencing Monday, and continuing through Tuesday the Capitol theatre is presenting Joseph NJ. Schenck's. pro duction Jof H. B. lComerville's historical novel, "Ashes of Vengeance" First National picture starring Norma Tal- madge. flashes of Vengeance" is by far the most pretentious production in which Miss Talmadge has ever been presented. The impression this pro- Iduction made in it's. world premiere on Broadway is best described by excerpts from the criticisms of the New York press.
 The New York World said !" Ashes of venegeance' is a notable mountain among the myriad molehills of the screen" Daily News made this com ment: "In the full sense of the word a masterpiece" Because the love story is held prime factor in this production, instend of being secondary to opulent splendor, the Herald remarks: flashes of Vengeance actually reserves the usual form of movie spectacles. It possesses good story and wealth of legitimate drama.' The Sun and Globe. declares "The merits of the picture are too numerous to mention. Like the two-headed calf and the Cardiff giant, 1t must be seen to be appreciated" The Times says: ''The film is an ambitious one-the last word in gigantic and picturesque setting" :" And the Bronx News sums it all in a sentence 1t is romance-magnified, glorified and entrancing." ~
 A cast of twenty notables, includ- ing Conway Tearle, Wallace Berry, Courtenay Foote, Josephine Crowell and others, in addition to four thousand extra players; and massive backgrounds of regal magnificence, and direction by Frank Lloyd, are factors of this note- worthy production.
 The Capitol offers Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the big suc- cess, Lawful Larceny" starring Lew Cody. Hope Hampton and many other well known stars.

COLLEEN MOORE
 SUCCESS RAPID Hard Work Wins Quick Rec ognition For Star In
 Painted People,

Ambition is the keynote of Painted People" First Nationals brilliant pie turization of Richard Councils story, which is to open at the Trianon, Mon day.
 Ambition was also the keynote on which Colleen Moore, who interprets the leading role in this comedydrama, built her success.
 Today Miss Moore stands as one of the most conspicuous figures in the whole screen world. Her name is a household one wherever American films are shown. But it was not upon luck or good fortune that she depended to bring her to. the top rung of the ladder of success, but upon hard, conscientious work and an ambition to become lead. CT in her profession.
 One can strike parallel with the life of the charming First National star and the life of Ellie Byrne, the lovable character which she portrays in the | picture. The ambition of the fictional character was to succeed in order to make herself worthy of her sweetheart, a young man of higher social standing, but Miss Moore's ambition was to sue ceed because she saw in motion picture acting the means of best expressing her natural talent to mimic and to act.
 This talent manifested itself when Miss Moore was but a few years old. When she was six her parents found that she took great delight in mimick- ing guests who called at the house, for the edification of her playmates. A few years later her principal pas time was staging shows" in the barn at the back of her house. As far back as she can remember, Miss Moore says, her ambition was to become an actress. But her parents had other plans A musical career was their idea for their daughter.
 She had progressed quite favorably with her parents plan--in fact, was a student at the Detroit Conseryatory of

of hoydenish "tomboy," goes on the stage and becomes famous.
 Never before has the term "All- Star Cast" been more applicable than in the case of Painted People,
 Heading the cast is Colleen Moore, who in the last five years has been starred and featured in more than 40 big productions, and who today is looked upon in film circles as one of the real topnotchers, and the most talented of all actresses portraying light comedy drama roles.
 Playing opposite Miss Moore is Ben Lyon, former stage leading man, who made a name for himself in recent Broadway successes, and one of the outstanding players in the current screen gem, Potash and Perlmutter.' Anna O Nilsson, starred and fea- tured in scores of pictures during the last two years, whose beauty and ability to jortray widely divergent parts has placed her among filmdom' S best known actresses. has an import ant part.

Painted People" which is based on Richard Councils Golfers Weekly story, "The Swamp Angel" deals with the adventures of a boy and girl who are entranced by the visions of Thigh life" afforded them by the residents living on the "other side of the tracks" in their town, and who deliberately set out to gain, admission to the sacred precincts.
 Colleen Moore, "The Flaming Youth Girl" and Anna ONilsson. "The Pon- jola Girl' of $9,50O haircut fame will be seen in new triumph, Painted People" at the Trianon this week. ! One of the many laughable episodes lin!s the production centers about the efforts of the two to break into society, One day they received the coveted in vitations--but the stunning realiza tion comes to them that they do not possess the proper clothing for the affair--or the knowledge as to the exact way in which to deport themselves.
 They conceive the brillinat idea of purchashing book on etiquette. but they fail to notice that the book had been published half century before, and that it's contents were hopeless ly out-of-date. AS a result they create quite a sensation at the party.
 To reveal the outcome of the this faux pas or the plot of the story would do you an injustice, for it must be seen to be appreciated.
 Anna O Wilson's role in Painted People," is very familiar one.
 Her reel role is her real role.
 In other words, Miss Nilsson DOT trays an actress in this picture, which, featuring Colleen More, is one of the brightest comedy-drama gents of the decade.
 In Painted People, which is a pic turization of a story by Richard Con nell, the famous actress plays the part of stage leading lady, the mentor of Miss Moore, who, enactng the role

Music when her opportunity came to break into pictures. At first she played only "bit" parts, never losing an op- p0rtunity, however, to learn from others the necessary requisites for histrionie success. -t<
 Slowly but surely. she emerged from the bit" stage. Bigger parts were en. trusted to her, and then came featured roles and then that goal to whichfevery motion picture player strives-stardom.
 Miss Moore looks upon Painted Peo- pie" as one of the greatest pictures in which she has ever played-greatest because the characters in it are human and natural.
