“WINE OF YOUTH” “Wine of Youth” Ring Y idor’s pictxirisation of Ra ■ hel Crother’s play “Mary the Third” will be finally screened at the Palace to-night. This Metro-Goldwyn picture tells how a typical flapper of modern days cl® 4 icle« which of her beaus to marry by talcing them both on an unchaperoned Camping party. "Eleanor Boardman proves her right to stellar honors as the flapper while Pauline Garon appears to advantage as hex* closest girl friend. No _ fewer Ilian eight leading men ax'e in the picture—Ben Lyon, William Haines, William Collier, Jr., Bobby Agnew, Johnnie Walker, . Creighton Hale, Niles Welch and James Morrison. Carey Wilson made the adaptation. “Wine of Youth” tells the story ot' the romance in three generations of a family—grandma’s in 1873, mother's in ISP?, and daughter’s in 4924. Eleanor Boardman appears as the young girl in each of the episodes. Commencing at to-morrow’s matinee will be shown a classic of Sir J. M. Barrie’s (the most beloved of British authors) entitled “A Kiss for Cinderella” with Betty Cbmpson in the leading role. The central character is a little London waif, who has so hypnotised herself with a book that she thinks she is Cinderella, and confidently looks forward to the day when her fairy godmother will take her to the ball to meet her Fi'ince. How her dreams of love lead to a real-life romance with a policeman is the surprising denouement of the plot. The magnificent dream ball introduced to show the workings of the little slavev’s mind, is a novel combination of gorgeous and glorified realitv. Betty iOorncson handles tlie role of Cinderella with a' subtlety and skill that gains the sympathy of the audience from the first.- Tom Moore is seen as the policeman.
