Met Show Stars
Lois Moran and
John Gilbert

"West of Broadway" at the
Metropolitan this week, is the
story of girl who gets her man.
Nothing very original about that
which may be considered the
chief fault of this film, which
otherwise has much to recon-.
mend it. Lois Moran for one
thing.
Lois is cast as a hard-boiled
Broadway gold-digger who falls
hard for a man who has picked
her up for an evenings entertain
ment. John Gilbert, who used to
cut quite a figure in the films,
tries unSucceSsfully to rid him.
self of the gold digger whom he
has married in a drunken stupor.
He even goes so far as to run
away to Arizona but, 10 and be-
hold, when he arrives at his
ranch he finds his wife comfort
ably entrenched there.
Lois Does Good Job
Lois Moran might not seem
quite the type" for this kind
of a role but she proves quite
up to it, her performance
eclipsing that of the dapper
Gilbert.
Ell Brendel interjects several
comical episodes throughout the
film.
"West of Broadway" is sup
plemented with several short sub
iects which in themselves are
we'll worth the price Of admls-
sion.
Chief among these is a Van
Dine Murder at the
Symphony" The first violinist
is killed in full view of 1000
spectators at the concert. The
body of the manager of the or
cheStra is found dead shortly
afterwards. How the murder was
committed and who twas respon'
sible keeps one puzzled to the
end.
A very enlightening short film
is a travelogue of Manchuria

ing's about is obtained when one
sees what Japan has at stake
in the treasure chest of Asia,
An entertaining novelty is a
musical trial with Rudy Vallee

Connecticut Yankees as the Jury

Cook Is Hilarious
Joe Cook has the best act he
has revealed since his vaudeville
days, years ago. One bit he has
taken from that halcyon era
the baseball story. If you have
ever heard it, this may be the
last chance to renew acquaintance
with it. If not, it is something
decidedly not to be missed.
The famous hammer-the Fuller

his versatility in a scene present

Story Is Farcical
"The Passionate Plumber" is an
incredible but hilarious adaptation
of Cardboard Lover" which
Ralph Spence, author Of "The
Gorilla" perhaps confused with
that epic. Aanyhow, Buster ap
pears as a great lover, also a duel

RiaIto Has Tale
Of Three Girls
In Big City

Why girls leave homo and why
they shouldn't might be an ap-
propri&te subtitle for the picture
at the Rialto Theater this week.
Based on the story Blonde
Baby" three little girls platinum
blonde, medium blonde and bru-
nette make their way, good and
bad, in the ..laelstrom of the big
city.
Story of Three Girls
Cassie Barnes, jerking sodas at
SIS a week, finds life in the home
town bit dull. Her friend Gladys,
if one may Judge from the gifts
she sends her mother, has clicked
in New York so Cassie wends her
way thither. Here We find her,
again behind a soda fountain, her
third since her arrival, because
all her bosses had predatory ideas.
Fate enters with an inebriates's
plea for a double bromo and i
neat righJ to- the boSS'S j,w by
little Cassie. The enc riate is rich
and Cassie is beautiful. Friend
ship ripens into love and the love
ly Cassie is now a model at the
exclusive Andres with Gladys,
one of Park Avenues 'ladieS." !"
And then the blow falls. Cassie'S
hero has a wife, heretofore, not
mentioned, and needing Gladys
advice on the unhappiness of the
gilded life, she Spurno him. Gladys
takes poison because she has had
the misfortune to mix love and
unearned luxury. Cassie returns
home and romance follows her
with marriage offer in view of
the pending divorce suit and lifI
presumably goes on happily to
the ever after.
Mae Clarke Scores
The merit of the picture goes,
without reservation, to Mae
Clarke, as Gladys. She carries a
hackneyed role with sure ability
and sincerity, and her charm lies
DeyOnQ mere DeauCy, III d spiritual
quality that has already evinced
itself. Marie Provost adds a dry
piece of humor and homely
philosophy as the roommate of
Cassie. Jean Harlow in the fea-
ture role, lends her blonde mop
admirably from the visual stand
point but is lacking in personality.
Her small-toWn innocence and
virtue are hard to swallow. She
is far too buXom beauty to
attempt little girl Shyness.

Will Rogers as

Abroad

Good Cast Aids
The pattern of the picture is
familiar. It is that of the shrewd
Yankee, an innocent abroad, mar
rowly escaping the wiles OF an
exotic siren and the enemies she
stirs up against him. In this
case the enemies are desert tribes
men who hold the secret OF a

Jetta Goulda is adequately var1'

Will you do it, Mr.. McGuire?"
He Gets a Surprise
Mcclure accepted the script
and patted Mat Green on the
back. He knew that this fellow
couldn't possibly have written
anything worthwhile, but he
didn't want to tell him so right
then.
"Right, Mat" cried Bill,
jovially. "I'll look it over for
you and let you know"
That very afternoon Bill was
waiting in an office for a cele-
brated producer. He searched
through his pockets for some
thing to read. And he came
across Mat Green's manuscript.
AS he read, an amazed light
crept into his eyes. The title
was superb and, behind the
rough wordage, was a mar
veIous idea.
When he finally appeared be-
fore the producer, Bill tossed
the manuscript on the latter's
desk.
Read that over when you
get the chance" he said. 1T
was written by Mat Green,
doorman of the Cort Theater.
It's a swell notion. Think it
over"
The producer nodded. He
placed the manuscript in his
desk. And forgot it. :.
Some two months later, Bill
MCGUIRE was in Atlantic City.
Opening the paper one morn
ing he was astonished to find
the name of Mat Green's play
among the theatrical notes with
the observation that the pro-
ducer was putting the play into
rehearsal Immediately. But,
