GRAND AND LYRIC
“GATEWAY OF THE MOON” The story of “The Gateway of the Moon, * the Dolores Del Rio picture at the Grand and Lyric Theatres, deals with white men’s efforts at building a railroad through the jungle at a ruthless cost to native life and happiness. Gillespie, the chief engineer, played bv Anders Randolf, is a brute hated and feared by his white and native workers alike. Toni is his niece, who neither fears nor hates him. But with the coming of Wyatt, played by Walter Pidgeon, she begins to recognise her uncle's evil nature and is willing to help Wyatt. There is splendid action, suspense and humour in this picture and the superlative acting by a cast of screen favourites. The background of the jungle is highly interesting and the picture as a whole an entertainment decidedly worth seeing. Girls Gone Wild,” the second picture, is a clever story of a carefree flapper spoiled by indulgent parents. feue Carol and Stuart are th» stars.
