COLORFUL DIVES
ARE REPRODUCED
IN CAMILLE FILM

"Camillc of the Barbary Coast, -
an Encore picture. coming to the
Palace theater tonight, brings to
the screen a colorful story of the
underworld set in background of
San Francisco's restricted district
in its palmiest days.
The tin pianos and the jazz bands
in the honky tonk dance halls blare
forth their music while the female
frequenters trip around the hall in
their short skirts and painted faces,
their male escorts more or less
under the influence of the west sur
roundings.
The black sheep of a rich man s
family finds In Camille, queen of
the fallen women, a true friend and
companion. AS they come to know
each other, romance and then. mar
riage follows. The boys father finds
their haunt in an unpretentious
apartment. Camille bares her past
life and offers to give up the man
she has married so that he can re-
turn again to the parental roof and
have the benefit of his father $
wealth and influence.
This black sheep who had once
shown himself yellow as he had
been sentenced to prison, what does
he do now when confronted on one
side by wealth and social standing
and on the other by life with an
outcast of society whose wiles and
smiles had lured many victims to
the bar in the misty atmosphere of
the notorious Barbarv Coast.
