“ l&fi WALL STREET WHIZZ ” .TO-NIGHT. Melodrama which rolls to a powerful cluiiax, stunts that only Dick Talmadge could do or would be daring enough to undertake, and a thorough leavening o'f rattling good comedy are the ingredien£s which go to make up “The Wall {jjjfreet Whiz,” latest Starring vehicle for the renowned “ King of Stunts.” A highly amusing story, which deals with the adventures of Richard Butler (a'.very appropriate name), a wealthy young man who .takes the job of butler in a, wealthy family, carries the star and an elegant supporting cast along with smoothness and speed. Marceline Day, Belle Bennett, Lillian Langdon, Don Mason, and Carl Miller take the most prominent roles, and all of them acquit themselves with great credit. “The Wall .Street Whiz” wall be shown here to>-night at the Princess Theatre. Jack Nelson, who was responsible for several of the recent T*dmadge pictures, has directed this one, and James Bell Smith is once more responsible for the story and scenario. This combination seems an unbeatable team in assisting Talmadge on his road to greater glory. On Monday and Tuesday next “The King of Kings ” will be shown. It is a screen adaptation of a story ages old that is told in eighteen reels of majestic splendour, a graphic narrative that comes, in all its beautiful pagentry to light with its old time glory a world drab in its.modernity. “The King of Kings.” took two years to make, the largest and most elaborate sets ever built for a motion picture were erected. Tire .greatest cast ever assembled was •.secured and the presiding genius of this stupendous undertaking was Cecil R. De Mill©; who gave us “ The Ten Commandments.”
