“Madonna of the Streets' the,
filnt adapted front the story “The
Tagged Messenger'- by W.B. Max
Well. is coming to the Dream
Theatre on Tuesday for mi" day.
It is a Columbia release which
features the following prominent
stars—Evelyn Brent. Rob**'- Ames
and Josephine Dunn.
“Madonna of the Streets" pre
sent* the talented anti attractive
Evelyn Brent in an extremely int
eresting characterization that al
lows her to display her undisputed
acting ability. The story is aibout
an unscrup-lous woman, a character
who went to every extreme to sat
isfy her own selfish desires, and
her phenomenal change in char
acter and outlook on life when she
falls ft love with a man whose
every thought, deed and action is
noble. Against the varying back
ground of the Barbary waterfront
a luxurious San Fransisco dwelling
and a modest California country
cottage, this interesting tale is un
folded.
