' THE AMERICUS TIMES- RECORDER CONSTANCETJ.LNHDGE PLEASING DUMB-BELL “Dulcy” Brings Star to Americus First Time in Many Months There is a flash of growing sub tlety and maturity in the personal ity which Constance Talmadge, favorite comedienne of the films stamps upon her portrayal of “Dulcy” her latest picture which plays at the Rylander next Thurs day and Friday. Perhaps it is due to Connie’s marriage almost at the start of the play—a reversal of the routine of drama in which marriage is the happy end of the trail—and to an intentionally mature air with which she carries off the role. It is more agreable, however, to believe that this growth portends a natural broadening of her histrionic tal-> ents. “Dulcy” is a distinct step from comedy into the more consequen tial filed of serio-comedy. The part of the giddy wife who engulfs her husband in embarrassment through misguided desire to help in his business affairs has a touch of tragedy in it that is ideal for Connie. It is a step in the transi tion of her career toward the deep er side of comedy. “Dulcy” is a dumb-bell. Connie makes her the very personifica tion of a bone-head—with enthus iasm. She plays the role of a young wife whose forte is to spill the beans. She is imbued with a desire to help and only succeeds in hindering. The climax of her stupidity comes when she thinks a woman’s wit and intuition would be a powerful ally in her husband’s affairs, and seeks to interject hers into them, almost ruining hubby. Just how the situation is retrieved is one of the best laughs of the picture. “Dulcy” marks the first ap pearance of Constance Talmadge on an/ Americus screen for many months and in the, picture she is supported by a capable cast includ ing Claude Gillingwater, May Wil son and Johnny Harron. SIXTY CENTS JN H9UR' STJPS WALTER M? Slav’s Second Feature Picture at the Rylander Wednesday Sixty laughs a minuts with Jolly Walter Hiers as a small-town soda clerk in love with a bank presi dent’s daughter is “Sixty Cents An Hour,’’ the Paramount picture to be shown at the Rylander next Wednesday. This is Walter Hiers’ second feature production and has a remarkable cast including Jac queline Logan, Ricardo Cortez, Charles Ogle, Clarence Burton and Guy Oliver. ' The comedy in “Sixty Cents An Hour” is bright throughout and scampers along merrily to Un uni que finish. The story is that of p. soda jerker, a fat young man work ing for a slim salary. One of Jimmy Kirk’s ambitions is to take Mamie Smith, daughter of the Bank President of Zavina, out for an automobile ride. When he hires a touring car at the rate of sixty cents an hour, the whole family pile in and Jimmy’s day is spoiled. ' His setond attempt, however is much more successful for this time he gets a roadster and rides off in triumph. But a dark plot is ■ brewing; crooks are on his trail, for under the seat of the roadster is a goodly quantity of silver coin, loot from the raided Zavina bank, and they are determined to get it. But this is a far harder task than they an ticipated, and soon they find them selves bound securely and deposit ed safely in the bottom of the car. Then the fun begins. On the program with Sixty Cents An Hour,” is being shown “Split ting Hairs,” a Sunshine comedy. '‘BONEHEAD” PASSE; NOW IT’S “DULCY” “Dumb-bell” has gone into the discard in Hollywood. A new word now reigns su preme. It’s “dulcy” now when somebody pulls a “boner," or in politer par lance, a faux pas. It’s “dulcy” when sombeody “spills the beans” by talking out of turn. It’s “dulcy” when some “green pea” asks you in the presence of your wife if you’re going to, sit in at the poker game that night after you’ve told your better hall you’re going to a i lodge meeting. “Dulcy” was derived from Con stance Talmadge’s new film pro duction of that name. In this screen adaptation of one of New York’s biggest comedy successes, Constance Talmadge finds herself in a new type of role. Constance Talmadge % x.v.

In addition to the Hoot Gibson feature Saturday’s program will I comprise Art Acord in the latest chapter of “The= Oregon .Trail” and i a Century comedy, “Oh, Nursie.” MANY STARS PLAY IN 'ONLY THIRTY-EIGHT' Lois Wilson, Elliott Dexter, May McAvoy, George Fawcett, in Paramount Picture One of life’s deepest problems— Shall a widow of thirty-eight or forty years renounce all hope of another love romance in order to obey the wishes of .her children? forms the basis of William de Mille’s Paramount production “Only 38,’ playing at the Rylander on Monday and Tuesday. Lois Wil son, one of the four featured play ers, enacts the role of such a moth er. May McAvoy is the gruwn-up daughter and is also featured as are Elliott Dexter and George Fawcett. , , “A woman’s right to love and to be loved never ends,” declares Miss Wilson. “When her first hus band passes away, that ough'K not to mean that his widow live the rest of her life alone and unhappy. She should be able' to again seek romance and cheer. In ‘Only 38’ I play the role of a voman ,lisi than two-score years old, a widow who finds love again but whose sec ond romane'e is opposed by her chil dren. I feel certain that I would not spurn happiness were I faced with the same issue in real life.” "Although, as the daughter in “Only 38,” I suppose my mother’s romance following the death of my father, I would never think of such a thing actually,” says Miss Mc- Avoy. “A mother has the same right to romance as her children, if she thinks it wrong to marry, believing it a disrespect to her dead husband, then she should act as she thinks best. At most, it should not be the business of her children to, judge for her. On the other hand,, the children would soon marry themselves, automatically leaving the mother alone. Unsel fish children naturally think of this beforehand.” ■On the, program with “Only 38” is being shown a Max Sennett comedy, “On Patrol.”
