UNITED THEATRE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WARNER BROS. BY DAVID BELASCO MONTE BLUE and MARIE PREVOST THE LOVER of CAMILLE DEBURAU Directed by HARRY BEAUMONT Saturday by Dorothy Farnum Shows 7-8:45. Prices 10c, 20c, 30c THE BEST PICTURE PRODUCTION SEEN IN MANY YEARS Colorful! Alluring! Compelling! CENTURY COMEDY SCENIC BEAUTIFUL "DANGEROUS BLOND" "SNOW BOUND" DON'T MISS THIS SHOW Tower of Babel Had Nothing on This Director Harry Beaumont's linguistic powers were weighed in the balance and found wanting in connection with work on "The Lover of Camille," the screen adaptation by arrangement with David Belasco's production of "Deburau." Nearly every member of the cast comes from some foreign country, and they evolved the idea of saving "good morning" to their director in their respective languages. It proved very trying to the otherwise undaunted director. It wasn't hard to translate William Louis' San Francisco crisp "howdy;" Terrence "Pat" Moore's Irish "ton of the mornin'"; Trifby Clark's Australasian "good morning"; Marie Provost's Canadian "welcome," or Monte Blue's cheerful "ash," which serves the purpose in Cherokee Indian; but when Pierre Gendron and Rose Dione started on their rapid fire idiomatic French, then Beaumont began to waver. But the patience of the director came to a breaking point when their bombardment was replaced by Rosa Rosanova's Russian, which sounded like nothing more than a long line of skis. For escape, he bawled out to Brandon Hurst to deliver his greeting in the drawly English manner. That cleared the atmosphere considerably. "The Lover of Camille" is to the United Theater tonight and Wednesday. It is the play written by Sacha Guitry, which scored such a hit on Broadway when Lionel Barrimore had the title role of Deburau. Monte Blue is cast as Deburau, and opposite him is Marie Prevost as the Lady of the Camellias. Deburau is one of the many lovers of Marie Duplessis. He had long remained impervious to the blondishments of a host of women who admire his acting. He dreams of one fair—an impossibly good THE BEST PICTURE PRODUCTION SEEN IN MANY YEARS Colorful!

AT UNITED TONIGHT and WEDNESDAY "The Lover of Camille" is to the United Theater tonight and Wednesday. It is the play written by Sacha Gultry, which scored such a hit on Broadway when Lionel Barrymore had the title role of Deburau. Monte Blue is cast as Deburau, and opposite him is Marie Prevost as the Lady of the Camellias. Deburau is one of the many lovers of Marie Duplessis. He had long remained impervious to the blindfishes of a host of women who admire his acting. He dreams of one fair—an impossibly good woman—and she comes to him one evening, after the performance in the form of the Lady of the Camellias.
