PRINCESS
"DANCE MAGIC” “Danoe Magic,” which proved to be one of the most widely-read stories of the year when it was published in “The Ladies Home Journal” last winter, is now on the screen at the Princess Theatre, and lives up to all its advance notices of action and story interest. With Ben Lyon and Pauline Starke in the leading roles, the piece is exceptionally well cast, surprisingly well in view of the fact that almost every player but the two principals was recruited from the Broadway stage without previous screen experience. The story tells of the struggles of a girl to free herself from the prejudices of her New England home against dancing, runs away to New York and becomes a star in a musical comedy. Involved in a sensational murder, she finds refuge in the narrowness of the community she had fled, and finds there too the boy she loves but refused to marry, holding her career above all other interests. Several elaborate settings feature the production, notably the hunt club scene and two beautiful numbers from one of New York’s best known revues. The methods of the New York police in conducting a “third degree” form * itatfiilins bit of the action.
