 Politics" which brings Marie Dressler to the Capitol theatre for la preview matinee at 1 o'clock to- morrow night and for regular per- .formances Thursday night in her first picture as a full fledged star, lis unusual in that it gives her equal opportunity as a comedienne and as a dramatic actress. In it she makes laughs as in Reducing" and Caught Short" and at the same time rises to dramatic heights as in Anna Christie" or Min and Bill" The new picture is comedy drama of political life. Miss Dress Ter plays a housewife who, goaded to action by conditions in her own town, runs for mayor, organizes the women's vote and drives out gangster rule.
 Polly Is Manager
 Polly Moran plays her political manager and aid in battle.
 Charles F. Riesner, who filmed |"Caught Short" and Reducing" ]" directed the new picture, in which Ia notable cast appears. Rosco Ates is seen as the comic barber, Karen Morley, recently seen nj Never the Swami Shall Meet" and William Bakewe1, of All Quiet on the Western Front and other hits, are the romantic leads, and John Mill ian, noted in "The Secret Six" is the gangster ruler.
 The story is an original by Zelda Sears and Malcolm Stuart Boylan. It was adapted by Wells Root with dialogue by Robert E. Hopkins.
 Some of High Spots
 High spots include Miss Dress ler's dramatic denunciation of crooked officials in the political rally; her defiance to the gang leader, the attempt of the hus- bands to break up the women's rally which ruins Marie's speech. her retaliation by calling the wo- men of the town out on strike against their husbands, the comic torchlight procession, the formation of the vigilance committee, and the arguments between herself and Miss Moran.
 While most of the story is screamingly funny, the tense dra- matic moments disclose Miss Dressler as character actress of compelling force. The picture was produced lavisflly with one of the largest exterior sets ever built and hundreds of persons appear in the torchlight procession, political ral- lies and other dramatic high spots.
