Altho the Keith bill this week does
not reach the high standard set by its
predecessors of the summer, 1t still
boasts several bright spots, OF which its
headliner wins the place accorded It. 1t
is an operetta entitled The Bride

Sydney Jarvis and Virginia Dare. The

Loew's-Rita JoIivet in Picture.

The feature photoplay at Loews Colum-
bia for the first half of this week is a
perturbation OF George Broadhurst's play,
AN International Marriage" with Rita
Jolivet as the star. An International
Marriage" places Americans on a high
pedestal. while the dukes and the counts
Of Europe are, according to the descrip-
ton of a millionaire laundryman, OF one
fast color, and the color is yellow. Those
who still cling TO the idea OF a United
States monopoly of the manly virtues will
be particularly appreciative of this film
production. Rita Jolivet is IN the role Of
the daughter Of a wealthy owner of
chain of laundries. Brent is the uncul-
tured, honest, self-made father, ready to
indulge his beautiful daughter, though he
may be Ill at ease with her fashionable
friends. His daughter, Florence, capt-
Yates Washington society with one toss
of her pretty head. A duke and count
promptly fall under her spell, while her
lifelong chum, an upright young Repre-
sentative, looks on and bides his time. In
accordance with the regulations of the
European court the duke does not marry
woman without title. so Florence be-
comes the bride of the count. intending
to get a divorce Immediately. Meanwhile
the Representative unearths a few un-
pleasant incidents in the lives Of his for
cign rivals and demands the release of
the girl that she may return to dramatic
America. The production Is tastefully
mounted and the Photographic work Is OF
the best.
