Instead of ending with a wedding, the picture starts out with one. And the heroine of the story is not featured in the ceremony. Rather it is that just as the cere- mony is about to begin, the bride discovers the man she is to wed, making love to her sister who is- one of the bridesmaids. Then things begin to hum. The humorous and thrilling com- plications which follow and which eventually end in a wedding make this Metropolitan comedy one of the keenest of all Prevost starring vehicles. Harrison Ford again ap- pears opposite the star, with Frank- lin Pangborn, Robert Edeson and other film celebrities in the sup- porting roles. - P. McGrew Willis, who wrote “Up in Mabel's Room,” “The Nervous ‘Wreck,” “Madam Behave,” and “Charley’s Aunt,” supervised the production. L —4 | “BLONDE OR BRUNETTE” | NOW AT COLISEUM | o “"As neat and clever a piece o comedy construction as the silver screen has reflected for a long time is “Blonde or Brunette,” the Para- mount, picture starring Adolphe Menjou, which came to the Coli- seum last night, with Gretta Nissen, as the “blonde” and Arlette Mar- chal, the “brunette.” The film is admirably suited, in characterization, plot, story and locale, to Menjou’s talents and per- sopality. He is cast as a young Paris barrister who, tiring of the gay life, decides to settle down and marry. When his blonde bride falls un- der the influence of Parisian gay- ety, hef inds that life is just a lit- tle more hectic than ever, so he turns for solace to a more sedate and restful brunette. From here, the treatment of the eternal triangle proceeds in adroit and hilarious fashion. The climax comes when all points of the triangle are domiciled at the country hdme of grandmother, | who is supposedly in blissful ignor- ance of any rift in the original do- mestic arrangement. | “THE BLUE DANUBE” COMING, COLISEUM i Several noted players appear in | |the cast of Leatrice Joy’s star pic- ture, “The Blue Danube,” which comes to the Coliseum tomerrow. Joseph Schildkraut and Nils Asther are featured. Among the supporting players is May Robson, famous stage star, who is seen as Mar- guerite’s mother in the story. Seena Owen is the daughter of a brewer whose parents vainly plot to marry her to the young nobleman. Albert | Gran, who scored so decisively as the cabman in “Seventh Heaven” is finely cast in this production. Frank Reicher also is in the cast. The picture was directed by Paul Sloane from a story by Frank Far- oW, - DOG LICENSES Dog Licenses—Four Dollars for Male and Six Dollars for Female due Junst 1st, 1929.

By the way, here’s a souvenir for you.” Grin- ning sourly, he handed me Furie’s eight-sided eyepiece. “It seemed to be necessary to him, and I thought relieving him of it was one way of disarming him.” This was Henry's first expres- sion of uncertainty, and it delighted me; more than his ‘souvenir’ did, but I examined the lens curiously.
