“Fashion Row"

Mae Murray's newest picture. “Fa-
shion Row." the mat. extravagant
in which she has yet been presented.
will be offered at the Regent theatre
for a three-day! engagement be-
ginning todny. S. 2. Inonard directed
Miss Murray in this picture and the
previous successes of the star for
which Mr. Leon ard is entitled much
credit are eclipsed by this new pro.
duction. Miss Murray is one of the
few stars of the screen who can
combine effectively the brilliant tal-
unt of an ncims with the charm of
gorgeous gowns. The setting for
“Fashion Row" in lavish to any the
least and throughout the picture is
one that stands far above the medi-
ocre. It is an attraction that Regent
putrons will be delighted with.

 

PALACE.

 

"Wild Bill Hickok.”
William 8. Hart has come back
strong as a screen favorite. This is
proxed conclusively by the enthualo
usm which has attended the presen-
tation of his new picture. “Wild Bill
Hickok" at the Palace theatre since
Monday. and doubtless the last. show-
lnre today will be marked by ce-
pncity audiences. Hart always was
popular and his to retry retire-
ment has only served 0 quicken the
admiration of a very large group of
theatre-goers. "““ild Bill Hickok"

vehicles with which Hart or any
other star has ever ben identified.
