CRYSTAL PALACE, MOUNT EDEN
“Their Own Desire” is now at the Crystal Balac© Theatre. The picture gives Norma Shearer an opportunity to give another new characterisation to the screen, for her role of “Lally” is a far cry from that of the chorus girl in “The Trial of Mary Dugan,” or the sophisticated woman of “Tli* Last of Mrs. Cheyney.” The stdry concerns itself with a girl whose attitude toward life has been embittered through the lack of material congeniality between her father and mother. When she comes upon her father in the arms of another woman she takes her mother’s side, and the two go away to a resort in the hope that a prolonged absence will eventually clear up things. Instead of being cleared, the problem becomes almost helplessly entangled when the daughter falls in love with a young man, who subsequently turns out to be the son of “the other woman.” The unwinding of the complications makes for sufficient interest to satisfy the most hardened movie-goer. ,
