DE LUXE TALKIES. "THE TRESPASSER”—MAGNIFICENT ALL-DIALOGUE DRAMA. Should a young mother, who fails in her * best efforts to make ends meet, give the ] custody of her infant son to his father because he is extremely wealthy and can s give the child advantages and luxuries } that she cannot? Is this maternal sacrifice j the greatest form of love there is ? This | is one of the dramatic twists in Gloria Swanson’s first all-talking and singing ( United Artists picture, "The Trespasser,” | written and directed by Edmund Gould- . ing, and now playing to record business at ( the Theatre de Luxe. In the produc- ; iontion, Miss Swanson resumes her position ' as the secretary to a Chicago corporation lawyer when her marriage to a million- ( aire’s son is annulled by the father. Out of a long siege of financial difficulties comes her decision to entrust her little son to his father’s people. The facts and , circumstances surrounding this decision are said to represent the most dramatic theme of the star’s screen career. Robert Ames plays the husband in “The Trespasesr,” and blue-eyed and curly-haired Wally Albright is seen and heard as the little son. PALACE TALKIES.
