CAPITOL HAS
 CRETA CARED IN INSPIRATION
Popular Star Supported by Strong Cast Is Seen
 in Glamorous Play

Inspiration" starring Greta Gar bo, will be the headline attraction tonight at the Capitol theatre. The photoplay is founded on an original story written for Miss Garbo by Gene Markey and directed by Clar- ence Brown.
 Robert Montgomery has the lead- ing male role and the supporting cast includes Lewis Stone, Marjorif Rambeau, Judith Vosselli, Bery Mercer, John Milan, Edwin Max well, Oscar Apfel, Joan Marsh, Eel da Sears, Karen Morley, Gwer Lee, Paul McAllister, Arthur Hoyt and Richard Tucker.
 Star Has Vivid Role
 In this play Miss Garbo returns to the exotic type of role which made her famous in silent films. She is seen as an artists model who becomes the toast of Paris as a result of her amorous fascination. Surfeited with the admiration of wealthy admirers, she falls in love with a young provincial student who is already engaged to be mar ried. The desperate strategies by which the impassioned model at- tempts to win over the young stu dent, together with the subsequent unexpected turn of events, make up the plot.
 Current Fashions Shown
 Inasmuch as the story is laid in modern times, Miss Garbo is seen in luxurious present-day fashions
 The picture is conceded to be staged with unusual splendor, the scenes ranging from a dazzling bo- hemian studio champagne party tc sequences in a number Of colorfu cafes and garden restaurants. Ncoks In Trees
 Paris sylvan cafes, where trystine hooks for intimate luncheons arS hidden in tree branches are repro duced.
 Clarence Brown, who directed tht new Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer feature i visited the romantic woodland cafe! during trip abroad last year ane was so impressed by their charm and novel atmosphere that ht utilized the background for one oi the love scenes between the stal and Montgomery.

Must Be Modernized

I walked out of another hit
show after two acts-and 1T was
a play I liked-because the tenn
perature was close to 100 at the
matinee, and the thoughtful man
ager had turned off all the elec-
trio fans in order that the actors
voices could be heard. 1t was
barbarous to expect an audience
to swelter and suffer and at the
same time get a real appreciation
of real play.
With the venerable antiques
which pass as playhouSes in and
about the nations main theatri-
cal highway, it is folly to think
that a summer theater can
thrive. Only the up-to-date
amusement houses can possibly
meet the competition of the
elaborately equipped and com
Portable cinemas.
Accordingly I am not surprised
that the Messrs.' Shubert decided
not to attempt to operate during
July and August. Nor is it more
surprising to learn that they will
probably adopt the two months
complete suspension as per-
manent policy. The legitimate
theater has dropped behind in the
summer parade and, in my judg-
ment, it will be permanently out
Of the procession unless it wakes
up to a realization of the fact
when Old Sol turns on the heat
you've got to be able to turn on
the frigid air. That is if you
expect to sell theater tickets.
