Close Up (Oct 1920 - Sep 1923)

CUM+f 3 NIGHT LIFE IN L. A. (By “The Rounder”) CALIFORNIA — “The ..Woman in Bronze" with Clara Kimball Young. Miss Young gives a marvelous portrayal in this famous stage success, which Harry Garson produced and King Vidor directed. I believe that this is the best that the clever emotional actress has done. It has a great appeal for women, and this being the case, the men will also enjoy it. MISSION — Douglar Fairbanks in “Robin Hood” can now be seen at popular prices. Looks as tho this wonder film will remain for some time. Its worth seeing many times. ORPHEUM — Mr. Perry has another great bill on his hands. If there is a “water-mark” on your ticket, its from Perry’s hot brow. Laboring with an anxious line of theatre patrons is no easy task. Irene Franklin is the cause. Great show this week! KINEMA — Dorothy Phillips is appearing in a picture well worth her talents. “The White Frontier,” which was directed by Allen Flobular, is a very good program picture of the icebound country. Sort of makes you chilly these hot days and nights. Miss Phillips gave a splendid performance and much credit is due the director. MAJESTIC — Ivan Miller in “The “Man of Action.” Ah, this is one stage play that lives up to its title. There is plenty of good old action, for those who like the fast stuff. Makes the old brain work to keep up with some of the lines. Mr. Miller is fine in his rrole. The others work nicely and give ample support. This ought to have a long run. LOEW’S STATE — Again we have Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne in our midst! Welcome home! Glad to have them back. They are appearing in the screen production of “Modern Marriage,” and also in a one-act dramatic sketch of the same story. The pic . ture is very well done, and it just goes to show that those out for a long time can come back. The sketch is well received and very interesting after viewing the film. MOROSCO — “Dulcy” is making a great hit. It is truly a fine comedydrama, probably taking the 1923 honors as a success. It surely is due for a long run. This is the kind of stuff the theatre going public likes. MILLER’S — Harold Lloyd is having a lot of fun amusing the thousands who flock to see “Safety Last.” Many are returning for a second time trying to figure out the supposed “trick” photography which isn’t “trick.” METROPOLITAN — Jack Holt again! But this time he is a better comedy-drama, “A Gentleman of Leisure,” which was written by John Stapleton and P. G. Wodehouse. Sigrid Holmquist, “the Mary Pickford of Sweden,” plays the leading feminine role. She is really very clever in spots. Mr. Holt does much better than he has in recent pictures. HILLSTREET — Last week they had the exclusive showing of Oliver Morosco’s “Slippy McGee,” with Wheeler Oakman and Colleen Moore. This picture was made a couple of years ago. It should have remained on the shelf. Wes ley Ruggles directed it, and yet he didn’t, anyway the sub-title said he did. But really it didn’t look as tho it had been directed at all. The vaudeville this week is good, EGYPTIAN — “The Covered Wagon” will probably have the longest run of any picture in Los Angeles or Hollywood. It is becoming more popular every day. It is actually more difficult to secure seats now than at the beginning of the run. GRAUMAN’S— "Her Accidental Husband” is certainly an accident. Or there must have been one after they started the production. Can’t say much for this, although the cast is good. Mariam Cooper, Mitchell Lewis, Forrest Stanley and Richard Tucker have the feature roles. This may mean something to some people, but it doesn't make this a good picture. RIALTO — Mrs Wallace Reid in “Human Wreckage.” That line alone should mean everything to you. C. Gardner Sullivan wrote the story and he did a real job of it.
