DE LUXE THEATRE.

Crowded attendances are the rule this week at the De Luxe Theatre to witness the ' famous film , story "Monsieur Beaucaire," considered the biggest picture of the year. As the Duke. de Chartres, lover, athlete, and actor, Puiidolph Valentino is seen as the central ligure. "The Gaiety Girl," a tragic loce story laid in a glittering setting of London's night life, the glare of the footlights, and the tinsel of a musical comedy, contrasted with the 1 majestic grandeur, of the castles of the-nobility, is -Mary Philbin's latest, and perhaps greatest starring vehicle, to be screened at the De Luxe Theatre to-morrow. The story, adapted from I. A. R. Wylie's novel, "The Inheritors," a striking expose of London's; society, is an intensely dramatic vehicle, staged on a lavish scale. Spectacular reproduction of the Ritz and the ©aiety Theatre in London, a complete replica of a famous old English castle, London Bridge, and the Houses of 1 Parliament—these are .some of the gigantic settings for the new picture, perhaps structurally Universal's biggest achievement since "The Hunchback of Notre T)amc." The cast is excellent, including Joseph Dowling of "Miracle Man" fame, aa the stern grandfather; Grace Darmond, famous- beauty, convincing as a- modern butterfly of the footlights j and De Witt Jennings, James 0. Barrows, and Lydia Yeamans Titus in striking character portrayals.
