Listen to What a ‘Talker’ Says; You Safely ‘Take a Chance’ at Apollo

' By Shaffer B. Berkshire fjT] LKER ” may not get her/\l self ,n any serious trouble, I'Ut may Heaven help anyone who listens to her seriously. A Talker” you know Is a woman who, to quote a sub title, “skates on thin ice, but doesn’t get her feet wet.” All this I discovered in a film jailed The Talker,” this week’s ’eature at the Circle. Kate Lennox lives in a pretty suburban home with her husband

and her young sister-in-law. it is - mighty human little family, these Lennox s. H a r r y, the husband, works in an office, is ge 11 ing promoted •regularly, is paying for his home and believes he is giving his wife and sister all a normal woman should want. But Kate has different ideas. Kate is well sold on the idea that a woman should live her own life. She thinks she is being stifled by living

with one man in one little suburban home. She even goes so far as to advocate, through an article in a ' local paper, that each woman should have three husbands. Os course she has a chance to test her theories and then she discovers she doesn’t believe them at all. But it is too late. The kid sister whose adolescent mind had been fillec' with I the theory that nothing mattered, but freedom from conventions has run away with a glib promoier who is not only married, but a crook as well. She finds out in time that he is a crook and tries to leave him. There is a knock at the door and in pomes her childhood sweetheart. Os course the bad man is given a Shipping and turned over to the fcolice. 1 I There the story would end in the average picture, and it would have been just as well If “The Talker” pad ended at that point. What follow's is perfectly logical, but is antillimax and consequently not as effective as the rest of the picture. I The girl has disappeared, and it I believed that she has drowned fcrstlf. So we are forced to wait ■ year and a half until she returns, ■Bidder and Wiser, and still a good kflirl. ‘The Talker” is a better than movie, not because of the I but because of the human Jters in it. The Lennox fame people that are real; so is lenry Fell family that lives door. These people are the jf people we know, and for eason more than for any other Talker” is a picture that holds eepest interest from first to ave discovered anew movie te for myself in this picture, s Shirley Mason. Os course, e seen her before, but never I seen her act as she does in ic.ure. She makes a complete ctsrization out of the rather Sell flapper and the woman lomes home later, beaten but phant in her defeat. I conShirley Mason’s work in “The r,” the finest bit of dramatic ; I have ever seen by an inin a motion picture. I think nil agree with me. >a Q. Nillson and Dewis Stone plendidly cast as the “Talker” her long suffering husband. Marshall is seen in one of character comedy parts that ays better than most anyone lan Kieth is the suave villain human one too.

photography or “wise cracking" substitutes. Moreover, it does not degenerate at any tinje to sobby melodrama as it might easily have done. It is all about the efforts of a young - girl (Betty Bronson) to bring together her divorced parents, who cause her no end of worry by quarreling over her immediate future. Before the divorce, papa (Adolph Menjou) wants her to go with him to Europe while Mother (Florence Vidor) is equally firm in the • belief that daughter should accompany her to R£no. So daughter, like a sensible girl, refuses to choose and goes back to school. She finds a handy little book called “Divorcij and Its Cure.” In this she learns that about the only thing that reunites divorced parents is something threatening their children. So she finds plenty to be threatened with. First it is a supposed affair with a movie, actor, which brings her expulsion from school. Then she

Patches Likes the Ladies

Patches and one ol his friends.

“Patches” likes the girls and especially does he like to pose before the camera with them. Both he and the girl belong to the Sells-Flotj Circus, which is coming here on July 6. “Patches” is one of the burros wbu takes a great deal of pleasure in showing how quick he can unload a frisky clown from h.s

leaves home and spends he night in the apartment of a young doctor with whom she is in love. Os course the doctor doesn’t even know that she is there, but it has the desired effect on papa and mama. Adolph Menjou, so often the perpetrator of deep-dyed villainy, proves to have a surprising sense of comedy. • Florence Vidor is x lovely and human mother. Betty Bronson is just as cute as one girl could be and Laurence Gray is a handsome doctor. One mighty clever bit of comedy work is contributed by Andre de Beranger as Maurice Mansfield, the movie star, who insists in showing how he “lives” his parts. Bill Includes an original organ number by Lester Huff, music by the Charlie Davis orchestra, news reel and comedy. At the Ohio all week. •I' TEARLE SCORES IN NEW ROMANCE From the theme of “School for Wives," it is apparent that there is

no royal road to education for the wife who is doing without the luxuries she has been accustomed to. In this picture the Colonial has a good entertainment feature. Conway Tearle is just the type to portray the struggling artist who would rather live close to his ideals than have all the fame and fortune in the world, provided his ideals would suffer by so

Her struggle to adapt herself to the changed condition and the first failure to do so make up a drama that is thoroughly interesting and thought provoking. It is a mighty good picture.

back to the delight of youngsters and oldsters as well. He is not at all vicious, but his training is so perfect that he gives the impression of being unridable. Let any person other than one attired in clown costume come near him and he displays the best of good nature. He is particularly fond of children.

And he took it along with him. His first assistant sang "La Paioma”

while the rest of them formed a human pyramid over which he climbed to his lady love's balcony. Saw this unusual lover in the “Take a chance” week feature at the Apollo.

named, and played by, Pat O’Malley. The only thing that went against Pat was the difference in caste. This is the real theme of this picture. It is well developed without making the picture seem to be aiming at heavy drama, either. There is a cor*\dy that is also worth taking a chance to see. Can’t tell you the name of it but there are a lot of kids in it who are known by such names as Mickey, Fatty, Farina and so on. You guess who they are. A singing team, Emil Seidel’s Orchestra and an organ number by Earl Gordon are on the program. ,There is no danger in taking a chance on this bill. At the Apollo all week. CITES BIBLE PROPHECY Speaker Doubts if World Will Get Better. “Instead of the world getting better until it improves into the millennium, pljrophecy plainly tells- us there will be a terrible declension in religious matters at the close of the present age.” This statement was made by the Rev. William M. Smith, superintendent Union Bible Seminary, speaking on “Signs of the Times," Sunday, at Talem Park Tabernacle.
