THE LYCEUM
“THE JOY GIRL” Glorification of youth marks ‘'The Joy Girl,” with youngest film star leading, screening for the last time to-night. The story tolls of a poor girl who aspired to wealth and position at almost any cost. A bit of a snob, in her young ignorance, she deliberately sough after rich men. But, thanks to innate fineness and a lueky stroke, it turns out that a certain young chauffeur in whom she is really interested, is actually Prince Charming in disguise. Dwan presents the brilliance of New York and Palm Beach in a scries of remarkable shots for which ho took the entire company to the scenes. While there is none of . the exaggerated splendor that sometimes accompanies pictures of society, nothing of the real luxury is omitted. Aside from being a picture that defends modern youth, “The Joy Girl” also is an argument for realism on the screen, which is something for which Allan Dwan has long boon noted. To-morrow night Eddie Garter, the screen comedian with the “ Eycy, ” will bo seen in “ Special Delivery. ”
