PRINCESS AND TIVOLI
“PERCH OF THE DEVIL” Grim reality seemed to be the aim of Gertrude Atherton when she wrote “Perch of the Devil,” and realism is the keynote of the Universal Jewel Production of the same name adapted from the Atherton novel and produced by King Baggot. Mae Busch and Pat O’Malley are co-starred in this great drama, which is the present feature at the Princess and Tivoli Theatres. The scenes are laid in the mines around Butte and in the smart hotels of continental Europe, where the woman of the story sojourns to get relief from the tedium of married life. Suddenly she find herself without a husband. Another woman has been at work. And just as suddenly she discovers that she loves her husband more than life. The woman has been gaining social polish and learning all the nice little rules of the polite world. But when it comes to a matter of getting back her man, all rules are off, the primitive soul of a ferocious female is bared, and she fights for her own. The drama is interesting and gripping in the extreme.
