one OF the most pleasing things this
star has given to a worshiping public.
Colette, q pretty miss, with artistic
tendencies, Is being reared by a couple
Of straight-laced maiden aunts In one
OF those provincial villages Of Brit
tany. Al the outset, she Is In open re-
bellion against the soul-stifiing circum-
stances which hedge about her. Her
aunts at first plead with her, cajols
her and. finally, matters are brought
TO q crisis when they threaten to send
her to q convent, unless she consents
to marry a shallow youth Of the VII
lage, a scion OF wealthy parents. The
community has been most properly
shocked when she paints picture Of
some bare-Iegged maidens dancing In
an apple orchard.
The cure enters into the affair, and
arrangements are hastily made to
marry Colette on. thus settling any
doubts about her future conduct. Bnt
Colette thwarts these matrimonial de-
signs by running away to Paris Here
she seeks refuge In the studio OF
Maurice Delonay, an artist who had
spent a summer In Colette's home In
Brittany. Delonay is at first scandal

ill-concealed affection for her and her
threat to commit suicide II she is turn

and Colette remains.
Endless complications follow. when
the maiden aunts. the shallow youth
from Brittany and half the police Of
Paris start in mad pursuit Of the miss
ing girl. Meanwhile, Colette's love
for Deionay grows apace and he finds
himself falling madly In love with her,
despite the fact that he is more than
twice her age. She becomes furious
when she learns that he has an AFFAIR
OF the heart with French actress.
There is a happy adjustment. how.

rush upon the scene In time TO dis

arms OF Delonay. The shallow youth
has become quite modernized through
his visit 10 Paris and he gladly reIin-
