It is a thrilling romance of Broadway night life, after the adventurous hour of minight—contrasting the lives of two girls, ore ambitious, saving, and looking forward to marriage, the other living for the pleasure of the moment and not caring what happens. How the girl, technically the “tougher” of the two sacrifices herself ..for her straighter but less experienced sister make a fine climaxlto a good pic-, tiire. Saturday Afternoon, In “Casey at the Bat,” Wallace Beery, perhaps the actor to nave made the most progress during l.he past 12 months due to inimitable permances in “Behind the Fror , ’ “We’re in the Navy Now,” enacts the small town junk man who suddenly finds himself catapulted fo fame and fortune when a big baseball team demands his services. Though dealing with a game not played here the humour is obvious of the action always fast. MUNICIPAL. Matinee on Saturday.
