"BECKY" IS NOW
PALACE FEATURE
It is seldom that one sees upon the screen such an entertaining motion picture production depicting stage life, as "Becky," the Cosmopolitan production, playing at the Palace Theatre for the last times tonight.
Sally O'Neil, the little Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer featured player who has the title role, gets only as far as slapstick on the stage and even marries a crook-that is, a crook that was.
The story has about it a ring of truth and logic not often encountered upon the screen.
Owen Moore, whose face is familiar to picture-goers the world over, plays the role of Dan Scarlett, the New York crook who had never before met a woman who was "on the level."
