CAPITOL
“TAXI! TAXI!” Although he has directed but two pictures, Melville Brown has gained the reputation as one of the screen’s best directors of farce comedies. His latest production, “Taxi! Taxi!” is now being shown at the Capitol l heatre, and has been generally pronounced as one of the most amusing pictures of its type of the season. Brown, who is under contract to Universal Pictures Corporation, directed Laura LaPlante in “Her Big Night” as his first effort. He was formerly a scenario writer of prominence. Mildred Davis returns to the screen for the first time in four years in Paramount’s “Too Many Crooks,” a P'red Newmeyer production filled with comedy, gasps, and thrills, which is also on the programme at the Capitol. Lloyd Hughes is co-featured with her in the photoplay, as are George Bancroft and El Brendel, the funny Swede.
