ing at the Palace
Theatre Tomorrow

Suit: entertainment is promised

in “The Way or a Girl " which comes
to the Palace Theatre tomorrow in

 

thri: is mixed in such close order that
the fast pace is kept up without a
letdown at any point in the story.

Auapted from the story. "The
Summons," by Katherine Novella
Burt, “The W’ay of a. Girl” tells of
an impetuous, high-spirited young
Woman Who is not satisfied with a
commonplace existence. but seek;
added thrills by attendmg prize
lights artists: balls. and by spe «1m;
and slumming. all the while drag-
gm; along her very proper and un-
exciiing fiance. who suffers like a
good Spartan ‘n .he hope trim. she
will eventually get tired or such
things.

’lhe climar comes when she be-
comes the captive or a. couple of
zamdern Cdxenzen, in ll e persons 0‘
mm, escaped cons-lens, and gets more
adventure than she had bargained
1&1.

Eleanor Bani-(imam, who has latte-
lv had such successes 915 “Ville of
the. Centaur." “So This 15 Marriage,”
“Sinners in Silk," and “X‘Vine (5
Youth." plays the role of the rock-
less girl. Her work in depicting the
ilappcrs of today is well known, bu:
Eli-sis her first part along comet}?
ares.

Matt Moore, who has made a
name for himselt in roles of un—
necessarily couservative young men
appears opposite Miss Boardman as
the backward hero who carries r.
nailnp “hen things become melo—
dramuiic. The role is slmilar to hi:
Caplain Ayuejad‘li in ‘Strangers of
1119 Eight."

THIS ACTRESS
NEVER PLAYED
‘EXTRA’ PARTS

Star of “Enticement”
Cast Started Unique
Screen C a-r e e r at
Age of 14 Years

Auburn haired \lnry Amer. lead-
ing more 5 the Thomas H lnce Cor-
poratlozs slates: First National oti‘er-
lug. "Enticement," now showing at
the Ilialxo Theatre; began her screen
career at the age of fourteen years.
She never played "extra" parts or
"bits." Her first role was a leading
one. in a series of pictures based on
famous paintings. "Hope." “The
Beggar Maid" and “The Young
Palmer." After that she appeared in
a series 0! two reelcrs based on Hol-
man Day slories.

Her first part in a feature was
with Eugene O'Brien in "John
Smith." John Barrymore saw this
picture in France. and thought Miss
Aslor would be ideal as his leading
lady in “Beau Brummell." He cabled
the producers asking them to try to
‘get “a girl named Mary Astor" to
play with him. The}: did—and John
Barrymore found that his predic-
tions as to what Miss Astor would
do with the part. were correct.

Miss Astor has appeared in a
number of well known pictures
since then. She was selected by
popular vote to play the role of
Leonore ll) ‘lhluticement." which is
adapted from the novel by Claire
Arden. Miss Astor has not only youth
and beauty. but on "almost uncanny
sense of dramatic values."

This )Dul'lg' actress has two lead-
mg men in “Entlcement"_—-—Cllve
Brook. the English actor. and Inn
Keith who recently made a great
hit on the legitimate stage in
"Laugh. Clown. Laugh". George
Archalnbaud directed.
