At the Grand Millions of picture goers who thrilled at the sight of "The Big Parade" will get no less satisfaction from witnessing the screening of "The Crowd," which is now being offered at the Grand. King Vidor has woven "The Crowd" out of the everyday happenings in the lives of the millions of Americans who make up the great middle class. It is the opinion of the writer that no other single picture has had in it as many truths and expressed in so logical a manner. The picture is aright with humor in many spots and is drab with unhtpplness to but it is life.

Vidor has always enjoyed the reputation of being a human director, of observing the little things of life which we are so prone to overlook in comparison' with life's larger events. This trait of Vidor's has stood him good stead during the writing of the original story and his direction of it. Eleanor Boardman is seen at her best in the role of Mary, a shop girl of the better class who leaves her josition to marry a poor clerk who to make good. It has been said ihat Vidor obtained James Murray from the extra ranks for the big role of John. My only comment is that more directors should'look over the extra players for screen material.

James Murray Is not a he already there. This one part establishes him as a remarkable screen actor, North Alton Myle Hour opening Day Lcn Luly, proprietor of the Idyle Hour dancing pavilion on the Al- Road, hM completed a series of Improvements at the pavilion and on the grounds in the TO additional space for parking fatuities.
