RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
“EVENING CLOTHES” In his newest Paramount starring vehicle, “Evening Clothes,” to be shown to-night at the Rialto and Regent Theatres, Adolphe Menjou adopts a beard and plays the country gentleman, in the French manner. The scene of the picture is principally in Paris, where Menjou is spending his time, money and energy ac-
quirmgr the city polish that he considers would make him pleasing in the eyes of his lost bride. How he first fails because of her own unbelief in him, and how he is reduced to poverty through his subsequent attitude of recklessness, is unfolded in a series of dramatic and
humorous episodes that add more laurels to the already heavy wreath that Menjou wears. The complications of the plot are finally untwisted to make a strong dramatic climax in which Menjou with Germaine as the object of his emotions exhibits all the finer subtleties of the acting that has mads him famous.
Noah Beery plays the part of Lazarre, a comic, whose girl For Trot (Louise Brooks) leaves him for Lucien.
