CRYSTAL PALACE, MT. EDEN
“THE WOLF OF WALL STREET' The Crystal Palace Theatre will screen this evening the fine all-talking 100 per cent, dialogue picture entitled “The Wolf of Wall Street.” The star is George Bancroft, who has lately been very much in the front in the film world. As may be construed from the title of the film, Bancroft portrays the role of an investment broker who dabbles in stocks and bonds. So engrossed is he with his work that he becomes entirely oblivious to his wife's social activities—who, before her husband became wealthy, was a circus performer. Baclanova essays the role of the neglected wife. Bancroft has a partner in his business, which part is portrayed by Paul Lukas. Lukas dislikes Bancroft because* his partner boasts too much of his ability to make or break the stock market. For revenge he strikes up a flirtation with Bancroft’s wife. How Bancroft works vengeance upon the two, in a manner more to be felt by them through their pocket-books, serves to make one of the most interesting stories ever filmed.
