SECOND FEATURE.
The amazing sum of drama, suspense, romance and adventure that is tallied in the big cities of to-day, and most frequently is enacted all about us without our eyes and senses fathoming the ever-present clues and symbols, is projected for our benefit, energetically and eloquently in the new photoplay "24 Hours," now at the Majetsic Theatre. * As • a novel and Cosmopolitan Magazine story called "Shattered Glass," this Louis Bromfield narrative of tangled lives and loves treated within two turns of the clock as modern New York City sees it, proved highly nutritive to entertainment appetites. The cast includes Clive Brook, Kay Francis, Miriam Hopkins, Regis Toomey and a number of other stage and screen performers. As Jim Towner, the gifted Clive Brook is cast in one of his most interesting and engaging roles. It is a characterisation to which Brook brings deep understanding and sympathy. Kay Francis as Towner's estranged wife, is also effective in a convincing role. And Miriam Hopkins, splendidly cast as the notoriously famous Rosie Dugan, rises to new heights in what is easily her most important screen role.
