"8 Herald WHAT would you do if you went to visit a married friend and just to accommodate her impersonated the mistress of a household while the young man who was madly in love with you played the part of master, and then have an old busybody insist on packing you off to bed together? That is the embarrassing situation that Elizabeth Lane and Richard Thayer face in "All Night," the Universal Attraction De Luxe, in which Rodolph Valentino and Carmel Myers are starred, and which will be shown at the Theatre on for an engagement of days. However, that one scene is only one of the many laughable (to the audience) situations, that the pair were forced into by the doddering old Western magnate, who insisted that he knew what was the right thing for young married folks. And, just to complicate matters a trifle more he fell in love with the real mistress of the household while her husband stood by helpless and afraid to protest because he needed the million dollars that the capitalist had promised to invest in his company. Rodolph Valentino brings to the role of Richard Thayer all the finished ability that makes him one of the most popular actors on the screen today, while dainty Carmel Myers handles a typically French farce part in a manner that makes it an enjoyable evening's entertainment for ,he entire family. Included in the supporting cast are such well-known players as Charles Dorian, Mary Warren, William Dyer, Wadsworth Harris, Jack Hull. The story is from the pen of that prolific author Edgar Franklin. It was directed by Paul Powc from the scenario by Fred Myton. EXHIBITOR As you see, this page is but a supplementary nine.

RODOLPH VALENTINO '"'AIL NIGHT A UNIVERSAL PRODUCTION CC LUXE The Story THE story deals with the adventures of a young married couple, more clever than thrifty, and the desperate attempt of Richard to get Elizabeth Lane alone long enough to propose. The young married couple in an effort to facilitate the match invite both to dinner. Just before they are to arrive the servants arouse the master of the house and he fires them all. The guests help get the feast ready, but in the midst of things a telegram announces the coming at once of Bradford, a Western millionaire, whom Harcourt is trying to interest in a big deal. Harcourt gets the idea of having Thayer and Elizabeth pose as the master and mistress of the house, while he and his wife impersonate butler and maid. The complications that ensue when the hearty Westerner tries to bundle the lovers off to bed early and tries to marry the French maid are the last word in breezy farce.
