PALACE THEATER

Matt is the youngest of the three Moore brothers each of whom has risen 10 stardom upon the screen. The boys were born in County Meath. Ireland and brought to the United States in early youth. They were educated in the public schools Owen was the first to go on the stage and Tom and Matt followed suit.
 Matt made his debut in "A Mes senger from Jarvis Section" in Chi cago. This was followed by several stock engagements and finally an excursion into pictures where he re- mained.
 In Columbia's Beware of Blondes" which is booked at the Palace theater for Sunday and Mon- day Matt assumes an entirely new type of role. Previously he haf been identified with light comedy roles in which he wore a mustache and heavy glasses. In Beware o1 Blondes" the actor portrays a busi- ness man entrusted with the de- livery of a valuable emerald and the warning to beware of golden haired Sirens. The difficulty he experi- ences furnishes ample material for an interesting photoplay. On the same program Tom Tyler and Frankie Darro in Trail of the Horse Thieves" furnishes thrilll you'll never forget. as this dare devil horseman battles lone- handed the outlaw band for life and for love.

VOICE Of THE CITY
 AT THE STRAND
Willard Macks An Tlkls Is
 Underworld Thriller

''The Voice of the City" Willard Mack's all-talkins picture, which opens at the strand theater Sunday for Aays, creates the illusion of sitting in on . New York opening night of one of Mack's stage sue cesses-
 The triple-talented Mir. Mack not only wrote The Voice of the City," but hs also directed it and plays the principal character role. His worA in that role. an implacable detective engaged in a desperate man hunt, is . gem of characterization.
 Taken n a whole, this production h a splendid type of the highly human sort of melodrama which Mack has been writing with such consistent success for 50 many years.
 "A story of gangdom. 1t moves with the rapid pace of a runaway train for the entire action. which includes ! jail break. | man hunt. | fake suicide, a murder and an unexpected and dramatic happy ending, taking place within the space of twenty-four hours. It is filled with suspense, plot and coun- terplot. Nevertheless it carries a romance as sweet and appealing and tender as any out and out love story. This delightful, though rather interpreted by Robert Ames. who plays the escaped prisoner. and syl- via Field.
 MT. Mack plays the role of the detective, who eventually gets his man and at the same time. gives him his freedom. Mack is the same fascinating player on the screen that he is on the legitimate stage and his direction of his own story Is az fine a bit of directorial man. aeement as this reviewer remembers seeing. Mack has story to tell, and he tells it interestingly, with the result that there is not a draggy moment in it. The tension builds consecutively until the climax is reached. Even the dialogue speeds up the action. rather than retard- ing it as is 50 often the case.
 Miss Field, who makes her debut In this production, having come dt- rectly from the Broadway stage production of "The Royal Family" is both a beautiful young lady and | talented actress.
