“THE CITY OF GOLD”
AT COLISEUM TONIGHT
When Cortez and his Spanish fol
lowers Invaded Mexico they stumbled
early against the problem of hu
man sacrifice. Many of the conquer
or's men, taken captive hy the Az
tecs, were offered as sacrifices to
the Great Sun God. A uniquely par
allel case to this has been uncovered,
one which dates back to the dim
and dusty past, long prior to the
beginning of the Christian era.
In the city of Ophlr, over which,
the Queen of Sheba held such pow j
erful sway, and which has long
remained hidden from the world’s
gaze or knowledge, it was the cus
tom for ages to offer a woman as
•acrifice to Astarte, the Goddess of
Light, in moments when the god
dess expressed her displeasure by
way of the high priest. Such sac
rifices were offered on a great stone
altar hefore the Queen's throne and
to the High Priest himself fell the’
duty of wielding the knife.
Thts historic ceremony, with all
Its wealth of detail and thrill, is
faithfully produced In “The City of
Gold,” which Is scheduled for pre
sentation at the Coliseum Theatre
tonight and tomorrow. Incidentally,
It is the third tremendous picture
of Paramount's “The Mistress of the
■World,'' and is atiugle with color
and Incident. Mia May, a celebrated
screen star of Enrope, is the fea
tured player.
“DANGEROUS TOY8”
HAS ALL STAR CAST
"Dangerous Toys," a Federated all
gtar production, with William Des
mond, Margaret Clayton and Frank
✓ Losee, will be shown at the Palace
theatre, beginning tonight. It is the
Story of a wife w-ho becomes a
fashion model, so she can wear the
expensive clothes her husband can
not afford to buy her.
During her working hours she
tnakes the acquaintance of the bank
er for whom her husband works,
and he proposes that she accept his
offer of a limited time during which
all of his wealth will be at her dis
posal. At the end of the time she
shall be free to choose to continue
her life or go hark to her husband.
With the most honorable of mo
tives. the wife accepts the offer,
at the same time telling her hus
band that she is going out of town
for her firm to a fashion show The
husband overbears some men at his
club telling that his wife is at the
apartment of the banker.
He rushes there and finds her.
From that point on. the drama main
tains its high-water mak of sus
tained action.
JCON8TANCE BINNEY
COMING TO COLISEUM
Owing to a peculiar dual mentality,
Dorothy Stone changes with light
ning-like rapidity from her own win
lome personality to another in i|hlch
She calls herself Becky. Whenever
these changes comp over her,
her "Becky" personality resists ev
ery good impulse fostered by her
normal self,' going into paroxyisms
of rage and causing everyon around
her untold agony of mind. A noted
scientist is engaged in trying to dis
associate these two personalities
through hypnotic influence, suspect
ing that the poor girl Is suffering
from the machinations of a some oth
-I
er hypnotist who has her under can-!
trol.
Here is a hint of the gripping
theme of "The Case of Becky" the
Realart picture in which Constance
Binney Is starred, which will open
at the Coliseum Thursday for a two
night run.
“THE SIN FLOOD"
COMING AT FALACE
“The Sin Flood," the new Oold
wyn production being shown at the
Palace theatre this week, has been
selected by the critics of photoplay
magazine as one of the six best pic
tures of the month. This is sig
nificant, as the Photoplay Magazine
saw fit to Include three Oolwyn
productions among the six best that
were chosen for special editorial
comment. Here ts the critic's opin
ion of “The Sin Flood."
"It is a photoplay you will wish
to see, and seeing, you will remem
ber. One hesitates to say the oh-j
vlous thing In connection wiih it. i
It is drama, with a beauty and dig-’
nlty that does not stoop to the melo-l
dramatic at any time.
"Those who beTieve that massive!
sets and thousands of "extras” are I
necessary to the photoplay of the
day. that 'Action!' must he the watch-.
ward, that a vast expenditure of
money nr the ‘Made in Europe' trade-j
mark makes for success in this field, j
will do well to pee this Intense, j
masterful drama, unfolding for the!
most part in one bare room, with1
hut seven or eight members to the!
cast.
"Frank Lloyd, with 'Madame X,'
and many other successes to his!
credit, directed this fllmization of!
Henning Berger's “Snydofloden.’ His i
skilled touch is not unlike that of
the late George Loane Tucker.
“James Kirkwood does the great !
est work of entire career, but the |
other players have parts of almost j
equal Importance, and play them!
well.
