B MOWER
CAPITOL
Paramount presents an excep-
tional vehicle for intense dramatic
action in “Ladies of the Big
House ’ which is the feature at the
Capitol theatre today and tomor-
row.
This picture has for its leading
featured - artists two talented per-
sonages who recently sprang Into
public favor because each possesses
high dramatic ability a distinct
personality and good looks qual-
ities essential to success
Sylvia Sidney has as her leading
man. Gene Raymond who sprang
mto prominence in the Broad wav
stage production “ Young Sinners.'*
which brought him a screen con-
tract. Recently he was featured in
"Personal Maid” as Nancy Carroll's
leading man.
Raymond's light blond com-
plexion is a pleasing contrast to
Miss Sidney's dark tresses in the
"Ladies of the Big House” which
is a gripping romantic low drama
of the lives of two young people
who on the eve of their redding
day are cruelly separated by the
law.
