DE LUXE THEATRE.

TWO STARS TO-NIGHT. William Boyd oml Alan Hale are two dare-devil steel workers in “Skyscraper,” one of the features to he finally shown at. tl\e De Luxe Theatre tonight. “Skyscraper” is a novelty that brings to the screen material rich in originality and a fresh idea of romance among the plain, poor folks. The story, which smacks of genuine reality in the every-day life of men, has extracted the utmost from a stupendous situation, Two roughneck riveters, employed in building forget their animosity for a mutual enemy — the boss. Their clowning at work, their simple and elemental romancings make for a story of life that is always intensely interesting and always crammed with unusual twists and turns. Boyd and Hale comprise the team—certainly a pair to bo watched for future screen treats, ft is an ideal combination and their performances are capital. Sue Carol gives added promises of reaching the top and Alberta Vaughn wins more laurels as one of the silver sheet’s best comediennes. The picture is quite worth while. The second star on this bill is “Forbidden Honrs,” a Metro-Goldwyu piclure (hal has been made for everybody and everybody will enjoy every minute of it. The east is a splendid one, with Dorothy Gumming as the dowagi r queen and Edward Connelly as the prime minister among the outstanding li-gines, and Maurice Gannon and Alberta Vaughn in the two comedy relief roles, dacquelin Gadsden, Marcello Gorday, Sven-Hugo Borg and others of note arc in the cast, and Roy D’Arcy, he of “Merry Widow” fame, proves a subtle villain. The programme commences at 8 sharp with a specially arranged overture by the De Luxe Orchestra. Brices are as usual.
