ENTERTAINMENTS

“ON TRIAL” TALKIE AT THE LYCEUM TO-NIGHT

Last screening to-night of “On Trial.” The scenes are laid in the courtroom where the. trial of Strirkland for the murder of Gerald Trask is in progress. Strickland’s wife and small daughter are present as witnesses, as are the widow of the slain man, his secretary and others. All the routine of the law is followed to the letter, and the result is thrilling in the extreme. The cast includes Pauline Frederick, Bert Lvtell, Lois Wilson, Holmes Herbert, Richard Tucker, Johnny Arthur, Fred Kelsey, Edmund Breeze and Edward Martindel. Archie L. Mayo directed. The play was written by directed. An all talking and singing comedy, “The College Coquette,” will be the character to-morrow. “OUR MODERN MAIDENS” AT THE TIVOLI Comparison between ultra-modern freedom and past-generation smugness may be drawn from the sets of ..Our Modern Maidens” at the Tivoli Theatre. Created only to enhance the value of a story which deals in the contrast afforded by a bustled and hoyish figure age, the almost startling architectural and decorative styles set forth m this Metro-Goldwvn-Mayer’s first starring vehicle for Joan Crawford lend a note of modernism that is almost futuristic, with abrupt angles, sweeping curves, a central colour scheme of gold and silver enriched by solid black. Two big pictures for the week end. FAMOUS COMEDY BURLESQUE COMING.
