AT THE PALACE

The fastest and gayest comedy Glenn Tryon ever made is The Gate Crasher," which opens at the Palace theater on Sunday and Monday.
 Tryon was never funnier, never more sympathetic than in his role of the amateur small town detective who falls in love with New York actress. The story is both romantic and farcical-youthfu and exuber- ant.
 One of the most laughable sc- quences ever filmed takes place in a big New York theater on the open ing night. Tryon, in the role of I kick detective, gets caught on the stage when the curtain goes up and is forced through some hilarious stunts to explain his presence there. He not only steals the show in the picture but wins highest honors fo" screen comedy through his work here. Another rollicking sequence occurs in a night club where Tryon fl ustrates blackmailers by outwit- ting two gangs of crooks.
 The cinematograph in "The Gate Crasher" is perfect. Patsy Ruth Miller who is featured with Tryon. was never photographed to better ef- feet and her acting adds many big moments to the hilarity of the pie ture.
 The companion feature on the same program is Ranger the huma n dog star in "The Swift Shadow" a sweeping melodrama that stirs the most fundamental emotions-stark | love and hate in series of tensl dramatic situations.
