AMUSEMENTS

THE PLAZA THEATRE. “YOU CAN'T BUY EVERYTHING.” May Robson dallies with high finance, mother-love, and hero and there a comedy interlude, in one of the remarkable roles of her screen career, in the Metro-Goldwyn-Maycr championship production, “You Can't Buy Everything,” a gripping drama of a woman financier on Wall Street, now playing at the Plaza Theatre. A powerful dramatic theme deals with the conflict between a money-mad woman's craving for gold and love for her crippled son. In addition, there is the motive of vengeance on a former lover who jilted her in her youth. She wrecks banks and shakes Wall Street with her manipulations and coups. Then, her revenge complete on the banker she hates, she finds her son and his daughter in love, and a tremendous dramatic climax follows. Miss Robson gives a great, powerful characterisation to a story unique in the annals of the screen. Lewis Stone plays the suave banker on whom her hate is expended, and youthful Jean' Parker is his daughter loved by William Eakewell in the role of Miss Robson's son. Mary Forbes plays the society woman friend who tries to steer her from money-madness to a sense of motherly duty, and fa 1 Alexander enacts the son as a child. Reginald Mason, Walter Walker, Reginald Barlow and others of note are in the cast. The picture is really a personal triumph for Miss Robson. With a line array of supports, tonight’s the last night available to see this outstanding film.
