ENTERTAINMENTS

KOSY. “I'LL SHOW YOU THE TOWN." As a warning: to all persons who dwell in ilats or apartment houses, "I’ll Show You the Town, 1 tne Universal Jewel feature now showing at the Kosy. Professor Duprte, as played by Reginald Lenny, is an avowed hater of women and of wild life—so called. In his Hat, in the heart of a great metropolis, he has locked himself up to concentrate on his dissertation on “Apartment House Life in Ancient Rome." The book might have been written and published and Professor Dupree might have become a famous author or a political economist or something of the kind—but alas the sympathic professor, when he had moved bag and baggage into his comfy flat, had not taken into consideration his pretty neighbors. Most of the laughs in “I’ll Sliow You the Town’’ are furnished by the extremely funny relationship between Denny and his neighbours, who with great ingenuity, prevent him from carrying out the completion of his gioat \york. There are four leading ladles in this 7-reel comedy, which is as refreshing.

PALACE THEATRE “SALLY.” “Sally,” In which First National is starring Colleen Moore, at tho Palace Theatre, Is a film adaptation of one of the most successful musical comedies over staged: "Sally” was written by Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, and after First National bought tno rights as a starring vehicle fot Col • ieen Moore, June Matls, noted for her adaptation of “The Four Horsemen” and “Blood and Sand,” was chosen to transform "Sally” into picture form As “Sally,” Miss Moore has one of the most entrancing roles of her film career, Loon Errol, noted Broadway comedian and Lloyd Hughes head tho big supporting cast.

PARAMOUNT. "WOMEN WHO GIVE.” “Work ib the elixir of youth—the fountain of rejuvenation. Good hard work contains more youth-making, cell-building, mind , exhilarator than any scientific wrinkle in existence." So says Frank Keenan, tho grand old man of the stage and screen, 'who could have retired long- ago if he had wished, since he is one of the few stage figures who is numbered in the millionaire class. Ho tried it once, but. he’s back again. He shakes a warning finger from the vantage point of his big role In Rogina'd Barker’s newest Metro picture, "Women Who Give,” now showing at the Paramount. “I settled down Into a nice old car-pet-slippered gentleman,” Mr. Keenan said. "All I did was read, smok e and sit on the verandah, but soon X began to feel out of sorts. My health began to fall, and soon I was walking with a cane. Nothing seemed right. It was all a dtsgrountled mystery until finally It dawned on me one day that I needed more work.”
