Thrills And Comedy At The Plaza A double-star attraction began at the Plaza Theatre last evening, when two Action Pictures, Ltd., productions were i eleasecl. Tom Tyler appears in “Silent Valley.” He is seen as young sheriff, torn between his love for a boy and a girl and his duty to the law. The film provides plenty of thrills, and the production lias been excellently photographed.
Victor Jory and Evelyn Venable have the leading roles in “Streamline Express.” The film is a comedy drama, set on board the express train of the future, and the keynote of the production is ultra-modernity, both in story and settings. Comedy and. drama are mingled in the interwoven destinies of a group of passengers on a transcontinental run. A theatrical producer; his runaway star; a gentleman crook; a harassed husband, whose wife is about to have a baby; a philanderer, his wife and the other woman—these are a few of the characters who appear in the swiftly-moving story. The supporting cast includes Ralph Forbes. Esther Ralston, Sidney Blackmer. Erin O’Brien Moore and Vincent Barnett.
