CIVIC THEATRE. GLOBIA SWANSON IN “INDISCREET.” Gloria Swanson, great actress that she is, has never been seen to better advantage than iu “Indiscreet,” the brilliant United Artists ’ comedy-drama, which is screening at the Civic Theatre on Wednesday afternoon and evening and Thursday evening. In this extremely clearly-constructed all-talking feature subject, the famous star takes the part of Jerry Trent, a girl who pays dearly for a youthful indiscretion. True love wins out in the end, and the story ends to the chimes of wedding bells. Gloria Swanson'runs the entire gamut of the emotions in this powerful play; she is tragedienne, comedienne, red-blooded human woman, and tender lover in turn. The star wears some ravishing gowns, and uses her rich voice to advantage in the songs, “Come to Ale” and “If Y r ou Haven’t Got Love.” The other characters are well taken by Ben Lyon, Monroe Owsley, Barbara Kent, Arthur Lake, and Maude Eburne. A most interesting newsreel and a rollicking farce also figures on the programme. Ben Lyon is cast in the leading male role as the novelist, and Alonroe Owsley plays the former lover. Barbara Kent appears as the younger sister, Joan Trent, and gives a fine performance.
