THE WISE GUY. AT PALACE

Frank Lloyd is one of the few directors who insist on genuine actors for the minor roles of a pie ture. In "The Wise Guy" his latest which is now playing at the Palace there are several roles which might De played by extras. Instead of this the director employed actors who are we'll known to play these minor roles.
 James Kirkwood Is seen in the lead; Mary Astor, Betty Compson, Mary Carr are seen in the main part Of the cast. More than twelve hun dred players appear in the great church scene.
 The story of '"The Wise Guy" concerns a faking prophet who sells the people religion. While he holds the vast crowds spellbound by his canting eloquence, his confederates go through their pockets and strip them clean.
 One of the most interesting scenes in "The Wise Guy'' shows this con- gregation of twelve hundred persons listening to James Kirkwood as the false prophet, while his gang relieves them of their valuabl There are many dramatic mo- ments in this picture such as will live on with the most precious mo- ments of the lives of those who sec it.

BLINN SCORES IN
 PLAYS THE THING
MOlnar'S Interesting Comedy Produced at Parsons Theater
(By Herald Reviewer.) Cast of Charactere

 Mansky ................. Hubert Druce Sandor rural ,........... Holprook Bllnn Albert Adam ........,. Edward Crandall Johann Dwornitschek, a footman ......
 '..''''-'''.' .'''''.''.' I|dlpu NelEh Almady ................. Reginald Owen lo.3a Szabo ...... Catharine Dale Owen Nell ........,............ Claud Allister Lackeys .... John Girard, stephen Kendall
 Subtle humor, perfect acting and the intriguing unraveling of an in- volved plot lift "The Plays the Thing" at Parsons's theater, Hart ford, above the average comedy drama. There are two reasons why it is what it is-it is the work of Ferenc Molnar and Holbrook Blinn is the interpreter.
 In ordinary hands "The Plays the Thing" would fall crashing to the ground. It requires consummate skill in treatment: it demands the talent which Holbrook Blinn and his co-workers, all excellently cast bring to it.
 There is the element of surprise and an element of novelty about this latest offering of Molnar which make it delightful entertainment. The start is slow, it must be ad- mitted, but the plot is so entirely foreign to anything that has been produced that the audience soon be- comes facinatedein the telling of the story. Human curiosity is invited 10 indulge itself to the fullest.
 Blinn is masterful every moment he is on the stage. As "Sandor Turai," a producer of plays, he rises to new heights in his career. Reginald Owen fills role which calls for high artistry in a manner which leaves nothing to be desired. Herbert Druce likewise maintains the high standard demanded of all players in this intricate masterpiece of mirth. It is unusual to find an actor cast in a minor character that of a footman-rising above his role. This Ralph Nairn does with credit to himself and to his associ- ates. The dialog between Blinn and Nairn is one of the most interest ing moments of the show. Miss Owen cleverly handles her lines and does not overdo her part. One of the delights of last nights per formance was the work of Claud Allister, who did not figure in the play until the last act. Edward Crandall is well cast in the juvenile role.
 The Plays the Thing" will con- tinue for the remainder of the week at Parsons's with a matinee Satur- day.
 The adaptation Is by P. G. Wode- house. Worthy of note is the set
 ting, designed by Jean Dary and executed by w. F. Castle.

TTHE PENAITYo

In only three American cities abides the spirit of true romance, a noted author wrote a few years ago and mentioned San Francisco as first among them. Other writers have successfully searched for rom- ance In still other towns but none hal gainsaid the first regarding San Francisco especially in that period represented in Lon Chaneys The Penalty when the underworld of the coast city had no rival In the world.
 The sights are real. Only the story Is fictitious and the natives say things a great deal worse happened in the good old days. Clancy plays tn part of a man so embittered by a circumstance of fate that makes him a permanent cripple for life that he becomes a desperate crim- inal waging war against the entire community.

HER HONOR THE GOVERNOR"


 Of Pauline Frederick's many mo- table screen triumphs, none give greater proof of her intense drama tic power than F. B. O.'s splendid production Her Honor the Cover nor" which is now showing at the Capitol theater. Miss Frederick's role Of the governor of a great state tortured between her official duty and her love for her son, gives am- pie opportunity for displaying the emotional ability for which she is SO famed, and the story progresses in a series of increasingly gripping scenes to the final thrilling climax.
 The companion feature is side splitting comedy Hold That Lion" In which the popular Douglas Mac Lean Is starred. It Is very funny and quite entertaining. W. s. Jeffs and the Capitol orchestra offer an excellent musical program.
 Thrills of the sort you see once in a lifetime are in store for mo- tio1 picture patrons in Men of Steel" First Nationals big steel photoplay, which comes Sunday to the Capitol theater. with Milton Stills in the starring role and Doris Kenyon as the featured feminine player.
