“LADIES OF THE MOB” Clara Bow's followers are to have the opportunity of enjoying their favourite motion picture star in a characterisation new to her in “Ladies of the Mob, to be shown at Capitol and Edendale Theatres this evening. The dynamic red head plays the part of a girl of the underworld, a follower of “the mob,” as a gang is called in the parlance the underworld. Miss Bow’s part impure drama, and she is declared to rise to new heights as the sci'een’s most popular actress. Richard Arlen. who scored such a triumph in “Wings,” has the supporting lead opposite the star. Bank robberies, gang fights, escapes through the night and dramatic climaxes between the little star and her gangster lover abound in “Ladies of the Mob.” At the Capitol Theatre a second attraction will be presented in “Half a Bride,” an intriguing study of modern fast living and of life on a desert island. Esther Ralston is the star. At the Edendale Theatre the second attraction will be the fine British naval epic, “The Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands,” revealing a story of naval warfare in 1014.
