Now we have the treat of all treats, Will Rogers in “A Connecticutt Yan kee,” adapted from Mark Twain’s fa mous story.

Myrna Loy, is the alluring, slinky, exotic, sensuous vamp, Morgan Le Fay. With the sin uous Myrna, in the support cast, are William Farnum, Maureen O’Sullivan, and Frank Albertson, and a thousand knights in coats of mail and bantum autos, armed with machine guns.—3. “New Moon,” gives pleasing music of the drama, with two of the greatest screen voices, Lawrence Tibbett and Grace Moore. This story of the Rus sian army, combines color, drama, and beauty. The support cast in this broad- way hit, are Adolphe MenJou, and Ro land Young.—2. “Beau Ideal,” is the sequel to the story ‘ Beau Geste.” The story is a deathless one of two men who loved the same girl, and the girl who loved both of them. The setting is in the burning desert, at war with savage hordes of Arabs. Loretta Young, Ralph Forbes, and Irene Rich, leaci the cast.—2. Lawerence Tibbett appears in a new picture, “The Southerner.” His new role is that of a singing hobo on the open road. The picture differs from all his preceding ones, in its theme and interest.
