AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE. DOUBLE STAR TO-NIGHT. ‘‘THE TAXI DANCER” AND “THE WEDDING SONG.” Enter —The Taxi Dancer! For a moderate fare she. will trip with you the light fantastic while saxaphones croon and wail the Charleston and the Black Bottom. Joan Crawford is the girl. Miss Crawford is conceded to be one of the best dancers in the film colony, and was selected for the part of a girl who becomes a “taxi” in one of New York’s dance “palaces.” “The Taxi Dancer” comes to the Opera House tonight. Opposite Miss Crawford is Owen Moore, and the cast also includes Mare MacDcrmott, Claire McDowell, William Orlamond and others. “THE WEDDING SONG.” “The Wedding Song,” Beatrice Joy’s latest melodramatic star picture which comes to the Opera House tonight, is quite worth while. A band of crooks, aided by a girl, plot .to rob an islander of his gems. When Cupid takes a hand, interesting developments follow. This is Miss Joy’s finest picture. Robert Ames is leading man. “MEN OF STEEL,” FRIDAY. “Men of Steel” is one of the biggest pictures yet filmed. Sills wrote tho story from a suggestion in R. G. Kirk’s short story “United States Flavour.” In the writing of the story he worked knowing the person who was to play each part. The United States Steel Corporation has co-operated from the beginning with First National in the making of the picture. The great Ensley of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company were turned over to the film company for the filming of the steel mill scenes. Sills is pleased with the picture. “I feel that we have a great picture,” is about all he will say.
