BEBE DANIELS HAS PART OF FRENCH GIRL IN “VOLCANO.”

SPECTACULAR DRAMA AT CRYSTAL PALACE. Miss Bebe Daniels has appeared in many attractive pictures at Crystal Palace, but the most romantic role of her career is Zabette De Chuvalons in “Volcano.” The story opens in France, in the rniddle of the nineteenth century. The action is quickly transferred to Martinique, and there, in the loveliest tropical scenery, most of the incidents are worked out. The little French girl, a.s fiery as she is bewitching, has her career brought to a great climax with an appalling eruption, which has given a title to the picture. This is the most dramatic and spectacular incident in the story. As a second attraction there is shown a picture of youth, gaiety and romance. “The Plastic Age” is- a college story, dealing largely with the rage for jazz in song, dance and emuseraent. Perplexing problems are handled deftly and tactfully, and temptations and experiences that mould some people’s lives are disclosed. The star in “The Plastic Age” is Miss Clara Bow. The “Paramount Gazette,” dealing with Australian affairs, has interesting views of ' police training and of motor tests,,and “Screen Snapshots” are both interesting', and amusing. The Symphony Orchestra does excellent work.
