"EyERYBODY'S ACTING"
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

If the term "all star" were not so often misused and abused, So that it has practically lost it's pris- tine glory, it would be a tempta- ton to apply it to the notable cast of screen and stage favorites Mar shall Neilan has assembled for his current production "Everybody's Acting" which is at the Liberty tonight.
 Certainly the presence of such players of recognized ability and merit as Betty Bronson, Ford Ster- ling, Louise Dresser, Lawrence Gray, Henry Walthall and Raym Il q Hitchcock, brilliant stage star, in sures wealth of good acting. Nei- Ian, who not only directed the pie ture but wrote the story as well, had these players definitely in mind when he created the charac- ters for his plot.
 As the title suggests 'Everybody's $ Acting" deals with the theatre and more particularly with the back stage life of a troupe of actors. The central character is little orphan girl who is adopted by five god-fathers. Her childhood exper- .ences and later on her theatrical career and romance make up a pie ture rich in humor, pathos and human drama.

ALL TALKIE BILL
 NOW AT COLISEUM

'"The Lion and the Mouse" War ner Bros. Extended Run talkie pro- duction, with an all-star cast head cd by May McAvoy and Lionel Barrymore, drew a large and ap- preciative audience at the Coliseum last night. This is revival of the celebrated stage success and the picturization has been very aptly done by Robert Lord. Lloyd Bacon directed.
 "The Lion and the Mouse" is powerful drama, dealing with the ways and means by which the daughter of a deposed judge, moves the rich man who has caused his ruin-to the point of freeing her father and offering her his son in marriage. Lionel Barrymore is ideal as the hard-boiled man of the world, while May McAvoy is un- believably lovely, and feminine in contrast. Alec Francis gives an- other masterly performance as the unfortunate judge. William Collier, Jr., is just right as the young lov- CT.
 "The Lions Roar an all-talking comedy, is also included in the present bill and there is singing Vitaphone act featuring Johnny Marvin.
