ELTINGE THEATRE

"That Royle Girl" picturized from
Edwin Balmer's magazine story was
shown to a crowded house at the FL
tingc and remains for today and
Wednesday. The cyclone scenes fur
nish no little thrill. The spectacle
of an entire village flooded with a
torrential rain, of whole buildings
collapsing, of roofs and walls flying
through space, Of trees falling, APP
parcntly on the players. of automo-
biles hurled about as if they were
toys, Of human beings battling des-
pcrately to save themselves from Ma
lures maniacal fury, certainly car
ries powerful punch and gives film
fans something to remember for
many day.
But though the climax is the out
of sensational thrill, it is by no
means the only highspot in the pro-
duction. The story, dealing as it
does with life in the jazz zone and
underworld of Chicago, is crowded
with gripping incidents of murder,
intrigue, law-brcaking and tragedy.
The plot centers around Joan Daisy
Roylc, who finds in the jazz mad
pleasures surrounding her in Chicago
an opportunity to sc"get the drudg-
cry Of her job and The fraud and pre-
tense of her makeshift home which
is presided over by genial rascal Of
a father, too weak to earn an honest
living.
Her adventures in the glittcring
cabarcts and jazz palaces, her infatu-
alton for Fred ketlar, the smooth
tongucd dance orchestra leader, her
fight to save him from the clutches
of the faw when he is accused Of the
murder Of his wife, and the dcvel-
Of her romance with Calvin
Clarke, the ruggedly honest district
attorney, are graphically portrayed
with maximum Of suspense and hu-
man interest detail.
Carol Dempster, W. c. Fields,
James Kirkwood and Harrison Ford
are the quartet of featured players
who carry off the chief acting honors
in the production.
