“LIGHTS OF! OLD BROADWAY."
AGAIN TO-NIGHT
Ho.v fato changed the course ol many lives, bringing happiness to one and sorrow to another, is told as an absorbing story in “Lights of Old Broadway," Marion Davies’ latest starring vehicle for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Two girls were orphaned fit tin early age and grew to womanhood in ignorance of each other's existence, one as a society girl, and the other the adopted daughter of poor Irish immigrants. As beautiful women they were both unknowingly in lovi with the same man, and through him they were rc-united. For cno this meant happiness, but for the other a shattered dream. With Miss Davies in the cast of this picture, which is showing again tonight at the Palace are Conrad Nagel and George Iv. Arthur. Miss Davies has reached her high position in motion pictures through the talented use of her dramatic and humorous gifts. In this film her dual role calls for tlie application of all her talents. With delightful freedom she flits from the part of a vivacious variety actress in a low-grade theatre, to that of a cultured society woman. The strong vein of humor is exploited by Miss Davies, Conrad Nagel and George K. Arthur. The latter complete the trio of principals. Nagel is a famous stage figure, and one of the most popular screen stars of to-day, While Arthur is a comedian of outstanding ability. An excellent cast of supports and grand selections by the orchestra complete this programme.
