AMUSEMENTS

' Opera House SCREEN’S GREATEST ACCLAIM A startling precedent was set in Hollywood when filmdom’s highest ranking stars joined voices in praise for Grace Moore’s superb performance in the starring role of Columbia’s musical romance, ‘‘One Night of Love.” Mary Pickford, Maurice Chevalier, Ruth Chatterton, Norma Shearer, Herbert Marshall and Gloria Swanson sent unsolicited panegyrics to Miss Moore and Columbia Pictures after a private preview. The amazing reaction of the ' screen's elite to “One Night of Love” I is noteworthy since Miss Moore, famous on the operatic stage, is a newcomer in Hollywood. “Miss Moore’s performance utterly charming and the whole picture a delightful entertainment,” was the sincere comment of Mary Pickford. Such praise came from America’s sweetheart to the one now being hailed as “America’s singing sweetheart.” This acclaim by filmdom’s finest is of especial note since members of the acting coterie are acknowledged ly their own severest critics. “One Night of Love” showing for a season of four matinees and four nights at the Opera House, features an imposing cast headed by Tullio Carminati, Lyle Talbot and Mona Barrie, ail of whom have been the recipients of praise and commendation for the part they played in the film . amazing success.

If the difficulties in which ■Tnbn Townsend finds himself as a result of “playing polo” prove everything. they prove that, though the course of true love never run s smooth, the course of untrue love is many times thornier. Every woman in the audience will enjoy the diabolically elever manner in which Genevieve Tobin, as Carol Townsend, undertakes to make life miserable for her husband and Charlotte, her bes£ friend. No more excruciatingly funny situation has been seen in motion pictures this season than Mrs’ Townsend’s visit to Charlotte’s apartment,, knowing that John, the erring husband, is hiding in the bedroom closet. The other star feature is an entertaining novelty, “Kentucky Mins' rels.” a gigantic all-star production of the most popular broadcast show for many years. two famous entertainers, Bcott and Whaley, are the stars.
