B. “Is That Nice,” to be shown at the Coliseum Theatre, tonight, when it begins a two-day run. George and a very beautiful young lady start out to gather evidence of a big political graft ring and in the process of doing so manage to becore involved with one another. #A great many complications. and misunderstandings follow, and it is their solution and the eventual explanatiors that form the body of the story. The picture, which was made under the direction of Del Andrews, moves with meteoric rapidity, and sustains a high note of suspense and siue-splitting com- edy throughout the entire de- velopment of the plot.. The story is from the pen of W. A. Sinclair and was scenarized by Paul Gan- gelin. The cast boasts such fa- vorites as Doris Hill, Heck, Charley Thurston, Roy ¢ Laidlaw, Babe London, Red Kirby and Ethan Laidlaw. ——————— VAUDEVILLE COMING TO PALACE SUNDAY The Van and Gilbert Variety show will be seen at the Palace on Sunday in a brand new bill of fun, song and accordion and banjo music. The movie feature will be “The Slient Lover,” with Milton Sills in the role of regal derelict. As Count Pierre Tornai, charge d'affaires of the mythological Bal- kan kingdom of Molatvia, Sills is discovered, at the opening of the story, in a most undiplomatic po- gition—drunk, in fact, and sprawl- . Ing in 'a gutter awaiting the ar- rival of some good Samaritan who will asdist him to his feet and di- rect him to his home. Worse yet, he has just misappro- priated a large sum of his embas- 8y's funds, and been grimly in- vited by his nation's ambassador to rid the world of his presence with a revolver shot. Instead, he vanishes, joins the French Foreign Legion in Africa, and wins back the captaincy of his goul and a beautiful girl in the emidst of a series of hairraising skirmishes against the turbulent Riff tribesmen of Morocco, ' ——— | FRANCES: LEE ‘IS AT | { COLISEUM TOMORROW | [ T E— £ - Frances Lee, a girl who paid her way through high school and the first year of her course at the University of Minneapolis, is now. playing the leading feminine roléd fh “Good as Gold,” Fox Films" lat- est drama starring Buck Jones, coming, to, the Coliseum Saturday.
