“LIGHTS OF OLD BROADWAY”
SHOWN AT LIBERTY TONIGHT
One of the best pictures of the year,
from any standpoint.
That is a terse description of “Lights
of Old Broadway,” Marion Davies’
‘ initial starring Cosmopolitan produc
tion for Metro-GoldwTyn-Mayer playing
at the Liberty theatre tonight.
The story is a much-changed screen
adaption of Laurense Eyre’s “Merry
Wives of Gotham,” but the change
has been for the better. In this pic
ture Marion gives to the picture-go
ers, an interpretation of a dull role
whose characterizations are widely
different. By it she proves her ver
satility as an actress and binds her
film fans much closer to her than in
any of her former pictures.
In this picture we have a. new Ma
rion, with all of her former blonde
loveliness, playing the part of an
Irish colleen with a dancing act at
Tony Pastor’s old theatre. She shows
her Irish wit and her American and
Irish blood which must flow in her
veins.
Conrad Nagel is excellent as the
suitor, as are Frank Currier, George
K. Arthur, Charles McHugh, Eleanor
Lawson, Julia Swayne Gordon, Wil
bur Higby and Mathew Betz in im
portant and exacting roles.
