THE LETTER
AT THE QUEEN
Instead of the hero pursuing the
heroine, as is usual in screen ro
mances, the situation is reversed in
••Celebrity." a new Pathe picture di
| reeled by Tay Garnett which opened
j yesterday at the Queen.
This humoious story of a pseudo
j high-brow pugilist is a most unusual
one and its romance, which has the
| same touch of novelty that charac
terizes its plot, revolves around a
light champion, who falls in love
with a little hard-boiled actress
when she is engaged to pose as his
i fiancee for publicity purposes.
The love interest is not one-sided,
however, but the pugilist is much
too humble and shy in the presence
of his lady love to reveal the se
crets of his heart. As a result the
young actress is forced to pursue her
two-fisted Galiahad and the man
ner in which she finally gets him
to propose, forms one of the hu
morous highlights of “Celebrity."
Lina Basquette. Robert Armstrong
and Clyde Cook are featured in
“Celebrity" with Dot Farley. Otto
Lederer. David Tearle and Jack Per
ry are prominent in the cast. George
Dromgold an dTay Garnett adapted
it from Willard Keefe's New York
stage success. It is a Ralph Block
production.

AT THE CAPITOL
* When better whoopee is made,
Clara will make it.” might well have
[been the motto of the Paramount
sponsors of Miss Bow's latest con
fection of the screen. “The Wild
Party,” which opens at the Capitol
theater tomorrow.
The story of “The Wild Party”
from one written by Warner Fabian,
calls for youth's maddest flaunting
of the conventions, and the action
reaches many a crescendo pitch as
Clara and her mates have their wild,
unbridled flings in night clubs and
at week-end parties.
There is an undercurrent of true
romance throughout the play which
bubbles to the surface, triumphant
ly, in the last few scenes.
FiercMt.ch furnis. the ip.
rci; male app<ui in the p!a., party
ing off the role of a college profes
sor with a delightful intelligence.
He is dink-haired and handsome.
| and nis directors aid well to choose
hint as the Ijver.
A dazzling group of baby stars”
supports the inimitable Clara in
true “hey-hey" style, furnishing an
“IT” compliment that rounds out
the film in the full curves of whole
some femininity.
The Doctors Secret, all-talking
picture, ends its engagement at the
Capitol today.
