‘WOLF’S CLOTHING'
ENTERTAINING LAUGH THRILLER Monte Blue has never had a better starring vehicle than the Master picture, ‘Wolf’s Clothing,’ which will bo screened for the first time at the Octagon Theatre to-morrow. The role of Barry Baline, the rough-and-ready Westerner, come to New York to see the sights, and thrust into the bowels of the earth, serving Jong hours seven days a week, then suddenly emerging like a sky rocket for one meteoric sizzling flight, gives him the opportunity for the display of all his funny, fantastic, and fistic abilities. The piece is a tie between laughter and thrills. Patsy Ruth Miller, in support of Mr Blue, is inimitable as a society girl who goes “ slumming ” alone in a night club and falls in love with the subway guard. In the later sequences, which seem to run, the scale from the grim to the gay, she gives one of the most amusing and captivating performances of her career. John Miljan as the merry madman, Douglas as the bibulous detective, and Lewis Harvey as Vanelli play with humor and understanding. The Octagon Orchestra, under Mr L. D. Austin, will be heard in an excellent musical programme.
