SKYLINE TOPS
 WEEKS PICTURES

Thrilling and entertaining episodes go all the way toward winning favor for Skyline" the Fox picture which will be shown at the Coliseum theatre, Thurs day and Friday.
 The principal roles are por- trayed by Thomas Meighan Hardie Albright, Maureen O'Sul- livan, Myrna Loy and Donald Dillaway a very surfeit of talent with a supporting cast that in cludes Stanley Fields, Jack Ken redy, Robert McWade and Alice Ward.
 Skyline" tells of a friendless boy who climbs from the city's depths to the lap of luxury by sheer pluck, after he meets and falls in love with a beautiful girl of the tenements.
 Meighan enacts the role of a dynamic builder of skyscraper5, who, in the end, turns out to be the boys father-the unknown parent the youngster has hated because he failed to marry the youths mother. He gives an in- spring and convincing perform ance.
 As the boy and girl, Albright and Miss O'Sullivan do splendid work, especially in their tender love scenes. Myrna Loy and Dill- away are very good, indeed.
 The photography is little short of marvellous. New effects of sight and sound blend the scenes of the picture into living beauty.
