The Encore Picture, "Alice Adams," starring Florence Vidor, is a. "best seller" that has been carefully adapted to the screen and will not disappoint admirers of Booth Tarkington's novel. It is an Encore Picture, and will be screened at the Lyceum Theatre tonight. "Alice Adams," as written by Mr. Tnrkington and as adapted for the screen and directed by Rowland V. Lee and interpreted by a splendid cast. is a homely story of everyday folks, but it grips because it is presented artistically and intelligently. It will make a. deep impression upon those who want the best in screen entertainment, and it deserves unstinted praise.
j Miss Vidor has a perfect understandi ing of the role of Alice and gives the ! splendid performance one always ex- ! pects of her. Claude Gillingwatcr, ! Harold Goodwin, Margaret Me Wade I r\nd Yernon Steel are. wonderful portraits of the original characters. 4Qo I
