"WHITE SHOULDERS." | . Willi' twenty .. million., dollars, made by j years o£ liard wofk among'the mirlea of South America.OfifeJy.-ia'.tiiß-bani: account .Lawrence Kent comes back to New York for ami brigiit iightß." • He gets'" ttfemj ail in "White Shoulders," tho new picture at tlie Theatre lioyal, starring Mary Astor a'.id Jack Holt. 'JNorma Selbco "crashos'' into one of his i parties, next day he marries her, and nix • months later, < still not being able to . love him, she runs away with an old friend. , Then tho story begins—Kent's conception of a brutal and satisfying revenge is unusual but _ terribly effective. Mary Astor aa tbe heroine, with her undeniable beauty and her wonderful clothes, is an excellent lead, ■, while Jack Holt as Kent plays satisfactorily, i The villain, Kicardo Cortez, makes the mistaka of being too charming in ihe earlier part of tha picture, so that his later villainy is unconvincing. Probably the most amusing and best-acted character in the pic'ttire is that of the "girl friend," Mario .Fontaine, played by Kitty Keller. Episode six of "Heroes of tha Flames" is being shown at matinees only, while tho rest of tho programme includes a news-reel, , an Audio Review, a novelty item, "Humanetlee," and • a- comedy, "Blondes Prefer Bonds."
