NORMA SHEARER
STARS AT PRINCESS

Yesterday the Princess flashed upon
its screen another bit of handiwork
from the mesaphone, one might say
of that new, but clever young direc-
tor, Monta Bell. 1t is LADY of the
Night" a story of vivid contrasts in
vhich Norma Shearer plays a dual
role.
Lady Of the Night" goes down into
the lowest levels Of New York for
one side Cf an intensely dramatic
theme, and up into aristocratic Fifth
avenue for the other.
II is this marked contrast. gathered
with conflicting loves of two girls in
widely separated stations in life that
make LADY of the Might an I'M
usually interesting pic.re.
All the glitter and brilliance Of high
society is there, side by side with the
squalor of the slums and the pictur-
esgue night life of the underworld.
Norma Shcarer adds to her growing
fame as an actress by portraying the
lual role Of Molly and Florence. In
this case. though. two roles are not
simply excuses for display of her his
frionic talents. The director. Monta
Eel, merely wished to show that the
same woman in different environments
would react to emotion in different
ways. but that in the end the same
womanly instincts would prevail.

GRIFFITH FILM
IN EMPIRE
OPENING

That Chicago is even more Of n
melting pot than New York is wildly
pictured in the first Of the D. W. Crit
fith-Paramount productions, THAT
Royle Girl" which opened Saturday
at the Empire.
The story, when it appeared origin
ally in the Hearst Cosmopolitan Maya
zine. created something Of a sensation
because Of it's holiness. As picture,
ID. W. Griffith hns retained all the
original charm Of the delightful story.
and added TO it his recognized genius
for transferring strong drama, delight
full comedy and thrills TO the screen.
That Roylc Girl" is a story OF the
Chicago jazz belt-of that section Of
the city where the inhabitants have
their own standards of morals and
their own ideas Of living. Tut's Tav-
ern, a notorious jazz parlor is the
scene of many Of the most convincing
scenes Of the story. and here are found
many odd. yec life-like characters.
As Is true Of all Griffith produc-
tons. the strong drama is relieved by
a wholesome bit Of comedy found here
and there throughout the drama. In
the case Of THAT Royle Girl" for the
purpose Of bringing laughs where they
are needed, Griffith employed the star
OF sally Of the Sawdust ''-the Follies
star W. c. Fields, who lives again in
this production with his inevitable
cigar, his derby. his ill-fitting checked
trousers and his grand manners.
Carol Dempster plays Joan Royle.
the girl who inhabits "Tut's Tavern"
quite frequently and here learns much
OF life. james KirkwoOd and Harri-
son Ford are the other principal mem
bers Of the cast.
For the seventh week Of the engage
ment at the Empire, Bassett's band
presents a new novelty in syncopatiOn.
For the comedy. the Empire offers
one of the 'best bets" in the field Of
comedy-Harry Langdon in his latest
production The Sea Squawk." Other
film numbers are Pathe News and
Outing For AL" a new Grantland
