fairly vibrates with Joy of living,
youth, and enthusiasm.
Haines as Tommy Van Aster,

very last word. It was lavishly
produced, faultlessly constructed
and exquisitely acted a whimsic
al vehicle with real interpretation
keeping for the screen all the flav
or of the play.
"Quality Street" is a period
play, dealing with provincial Eng
land at the time of the Napoleonic
wars. The heroine falls in love
with a young doctor whom she be
lieves is about to propose. If he
had such an idea in mind he
promptly lost it by listening to a
recruiting sergeant in search of
men to fight Napoleon. Years
later when he returns he is grieved
and shocked at the changed ap
pearance of the heroine.
The latter, however, Is able to
make herself up as the beauty of
years before, and after soundly
teaching the doctor a lesson suc
cumbs to his love declaration and
accepts his abject apologies.

roar of the crowd goes to the win

"The Crowd" Is a great drama
of everyday life a cross section

self on the screen. This Is not
Just a picture but life itself. It's
life as we live it every day.
This remarkable screen adapta
tion of life as we live it from the
cradle to the grave will be shown
at the Elsinore for four days,
starting Wednesday.
King VIdor has immortalized
the vast middle class, their hopes,
triumphs, joys and tears in "The
Crowd," a production for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
which comes to
the Elsinore Wednesday, and
which has been Vidor's pet idea
for a motion picture ever since the
filming of his "The Big Parade."
Critics who have see "The
Crowd" pronounce it to be as
great in its way as the war pic
ture. It is a slice out of everyday
life, great in Its realism and Its
truth. There isn't-a character in
It any higher than a petty official
in a large business firm, yet the
scenes teem with drama, heart
