The much heralded motion pic ture 'Delicious" with Janet Gay nor and Charles Farrel la at the Elsinore for the last time today. It is one of those pictures about which people talk after it has gone one of the "did you see" pictures from which people quote and about which they laugh. El Brendel is fun plus in this story a Swedish valet with tricks of humor all his own which must be seen to be appre ciated. In my opinion he steals the show from Farrell, very me diocre in his part. Gaynor Is quite appealing and sincere. One of the high lights of the picture is the Russian family portrayed. Good to look upon, sincere acting, and an un usual slant for color in a picture. Think you will like it. As for Seth Parker at the Cap itolyou can't go wrong with the people from Jonesport. A unique, interesting play! FRA1E AND ITALY TALK 111 ISSUE GENEVA. Switzerland. Feb. 12.
