"IT”
AT REGENT FRIDAY “It,” which comes to the Regent Theatre on Friday, is Clara Bows’s first starring vehicle for Paramount, and Elinor Glyn’s adaptation of her latest story. Through the medium of the camera Miss Bow reveals her interpretation of just what constitutes “It,” which the author declares Miss Bow possesses to an extraordinary degree. The novel, adapted expressly for the star, deals with a shopgirl who possesses that magnetic something which defies definition, but attracts all others with compelling force. With a limited education, no family prestige, and nothing but her fundamental sweetness of character, Clara rises to notable success by exerting the inexplicable “it,” and winning the love of her employer. The film’s locale is any big city; the time, the present. In its unfolding, Madame Glyn goes fully into her conception of the magic quality, depicting characters who believe they have, those who’d like to have, and those who possibly can never gain “It.”
