GERALDINE PICTURES. Owing to a serious motor cv mishap, the talking pictures will not be screened to-night, but will be replaced by a special programme, the stelia attraction being “It Can Be Done," with Gldh Tryon in the lead. Scores of people on one of Hollywood’s busiest streets were recently treated to the sight of an apparently sane young man tearing madly down the sidewalk with the tails of his raccoon coat baring to the world at large the fact that, for some unknown reason, he lacked the customary pair of trousers that are considered one of the essential requisites of the well-clad male. It was later learned that the young man was the Universal star, Glenn Tryon, and that he was merely making a scene for his latest success, “It Can Be Done,” which will be screened at the Municipal Theatre to-night, in addition to a full supporting programme.
