Blanche S7Oeet Screen Star, Tops Bill at Lyric

There is on the Lyric stage today
a personality of the movies, known
and beloved by all fans. She is
Blanche Sweet, blonde beauty, who
comes into vaudeville, not just as
a friendly "how-do-you-do' per-
sonal appearance, but with especial
ly written material in a one-act
playlet called "Snobbishness."
Five acts of RKO vaudeville sur
round the star act and "a Holy Ter
ror," new first run Fox Movietone
feature picture starring George
O'Brien complete the program.
Miss Sweet was first brought into
the limelight of the silent films by
D. w. Griffith and probably made
her greatest hit in the silent YER
sion of "Anna Christie" She was
married to Marshall Neilan and
then starred in many more produc-
tions, including 1.-THE House of Dis
cord" Men and Women" and THE
New Commandment"
Miss Sweet made three talkies,
they are 1.-THE Woman Racket, :"
"Show Girl of Hollywood" and more
recently, 1.-THE Silver Horde" In
her vaudeville acts which was es-
pecially written for her by Edwin
Burke, Miss Sweet Is seen as the
wife of an arrogant husband.
The part is said to have been
made to order for her, being just
the sort of thing she does best and
in this sketch she both looks her
best and acts her best. Three other
Hollywood players support the star
in her presentation of "Snobbish-
ness"
up in the Clouds" is a dance act
also on this stage bill, and pre-
sented by Wilma and Earlyne WAL
lace with Cohen Brothers and Matt
Gibbons. 1t is heralded as being
quite deliberately staged and intro
duces two new dance novelties. They

NOvARRO is
FEATURED AT PALACE

Ramon Novarro, it is said, has
never appeared in an unronlantic
role. For several years he has been
an ideal lover" His most famous
rizations-"Ben Hur," 1.-The
Student Prince" The Call of the
Flesh" and "Daybreak" have been
dashing hero roles.
But it is doubtful If any role gave
him such a splendid opportunity for
romance as does "Son of India, ="
which opens at the Palace today.
At the first Of the picture he is
seen as the handsome son Of a
wealthy Indian jewel merchant. His
fathers caravan is beset by rob-
bers, his father is killed, and he is
forced to work his way up from
starvation.
He has one jewel he received
from his father, and with it starts
a collection which he finally makes
his trade. Then he becomes edu-
Gated after Western methods. He
meets a young English girl, Madge
Evans, and falls in love with her.
Then he meets misfortune again,
for the girls aunt, Marjorie Ram
beau, highly disapproves of match
between the two. Racial barriers
keep them apart, but the lovers re-
fuse to give up the struggle.
Then the girls aunt sends for her
brother, and he asks the young In
dian to leave. Although he feels
that his life is ruined, he does so,
because his code Of honor does. not
permit him to go against the fam
ily's wishes.
But the girl follows him, and they
make an adventurous escape to-
gether. They are caught in the
treacherous whirlpool of a tropical
river. They are about to be dashed
over the falls to death-when the
most surprising conclusion ever to
be filmed comes into the picture.
Cast includes such players as G.
Aubrey Smith and John MILAN.
An extra added fun treat will also
be shown at the Palace in the new
est all talking comedy riot of Stan
Laurel and Oliver Hardy entitled
our Wife," in which these two
hilarious comedians both marry the
same girl A Grantland Rice sport
light novelty entitled The Blue
Grass King" and the latest issue of
the Hearst Metrotone News will
round out the bill.

O'Brien, who enacts the featured
role in "a Holy Terror" the new
f1rst-run Fox Movietone feature
picture.
Naturally, the young woman is
indignant, to say nothing of the
shock occasioned by the unexpected
occurrence, but the circumstance
leads to friendship and, eventually,
to romance.
The role of the girl is portrayed
by Sally Eilers, beautiful and
charming screen actress, who has
played many roles in recent sue
cesses. "a Holy Terror" is based
on Max Brands outdoor thriller,
''Trailin',' and was directed by
Irving Cummings.
