Herald reviewer wrote on that occa-
Bion:
“A Broadway audience is not par-
ticularly sentimental. but the tears
that streaked the painted and pow-
dered faces of the stage, were mule
tipilcd many times in the audience
as 'Auid Urns Sync” became the

But Weber and Fields were des-
tined to come together again and
their recent .vaudovilio tour. inter-
rupted by n break or three months
during which time the team assum-
ed the leading roles in George liicl-
{ord’s “Friendly Enemies," which

Not often have they put aside
their comedy lines to assume dra-

They are now appearing in a
screen version of one of the most
popular Broadway successes pro-
duced during the war. "Friendly

"Friendly Enemies" jenlo’usly guards
the distinction of being commended

One at the most luxurious gamb-

to the roulette wheel was used as a
model for Zanten's brilliant "Tem-
ple of Chance" in "Champion of
Lost Causes." the latest of the Wil-
liam Fox pictures which snows Ed-
mund Lowe as one at the popular
stars of the Fox studios.
Twelve years ages—when it was
made plain that the {smells estab-
lishment would be forced to per-
manently close its doors, a. photo-
grapher was summoned and a. num-
ber or flash light views were taken.
One of these was secured by Di-
rector Chester Bennett train the
manager or a. prominent Wall Street

dignified men of years and wealth
will gaze at the gambling house with
keen interest and recall "that luck
night back in 1905 when i hit that
roulette wheel for sixty ilve hun-
dred. "
The profound tale of mystery. in
which the gambling house and the
evil genius who directed it. are .very

so profoundly complicated that.“
