Next week's program at the Alhambra will be a double one, with Harold Lloyd holding down the comedy end in his latest farce, "Never Weaken,” siiaring the program honors with Will Bradley's unique production, "Moongold." The Lloyd comedy deals with skyscrapers and love. Skyscrapers, according to the scenarist, are beehives of romance and "Never Weaken” Is the amus-

lng tala of the love of a youth for a maid whom he believed untrue. They work In adjoining offices. Her “boss” Is a doctor without any patients—until Harold discovers the girl who wears his diamond ring In the arms of another. Ho smiles upon death; he welcomes It with open arms—until he finds himself sitting on an Iron girder twelve stories In the air and nothing to grab hold of but the frame work of a skyscraper in the making. Life then becomes sweet and worth scrambling, tumbling and falling for. “Never Weaken” presents Lloyd with the service of Mildred Davis as his feminine partner in fun. "Moongold" Is an Innovation in picture making—a litle Plerettee raomance produced In an artistic manner showing how the love of a boy for a girl wins out In the end after the dislllusslonlng of the young girl's mind. The effects used by Mr. Bradley mark a departure in screen history. The scenic sets are of the futuristic type, and background consisting merely of a piece of black velvet cloth —ar. art not new to the stage or screen, but the manner In which Mr. Bradley has affected it in “Moongold” Is distinctly unusual. The Fox News Weekly will also be shown. -I- -I- -I* ALL-STAR CAST APPEARS IN NILSSON MOVIE. An all-star cast, headed by Anna Q. Nilsson, is to be seen In “What Women Will Do,” a drama of New York life, written by Charles A. Logue, which will be presented at tho Isis next week. It has to do with a young woman involved In a malicious scheme designed to mulct a wealthy old lady whose griet over the suicide of her son while he was under the stigma of a murder charge has made her easy prey. In working to the climax in which the girl and her companion are elevated through the regenerating lnfiuetico of the bereaved mother, the story introduces elements of great contemporary Interest, among them being spiritualistic—one of thee most striking scenes being that of a spiritualistic soeanoe. A horse race as exciting as the famous one of last October when Man O War beat Sir Barton was especially staged on the course at Jamaica. 1,. 1., for one of the many thrilling moments.
