TOWN lIALL, The Fox production of Edward Knoblock and George Rosner’s well known stage success, “Speakeasy, which reaches the screen of the Town Hall on Saturday, contains an abundant supply of all things necessary to make an up-to-the-minute entertaining picture. The narrative is said to he crammed with action and dramatic punch as well as generously sprinkled with comedy and adroitly interspersed with thrilling highlights. There is a mad race through the heart of New York’s business section; two boxing combats staged in the world famed Madison Square Garden; a fight to the death in a celebrated speakeasy* all visually shown as the determined heroine desperately tries to save the man of her oho ice from the clutches of the wolves of the underworld. Lola Lane and Paul Page portray the leading romantic roles with Helen Ware, Henry B. Walthall, Stuart Erwin, Warren Efymer, Sharon Lynn, Ivan Lin-ow, Marjorie Beebe and James Guilfoyle in principal supporting roles. With a comedy, variety and News reel. Usual prices. *Hoot Gibson, the popular Western star-will make his re-appear-ance next Monday in a romantic Western drama, “The Danger Rider.”
