Pauline Frederick at the Richmond
Theatre Monday.

"Doubfe- e-Crossed." Paramount
picture starring Pauline Frederick.
which is coming to the Richmond
Theatre Monday is a modern play
of love and intrigue, with tremend-
Gus feminine appeal. 1t is the story
of young society matron who dis
covers that her husband, with whom
she is very much in love and whom
she has always set upon pedestal
has, in his youth, committed a .seri-
Gus slip. Miss Frederick's emotional
acting in the scene where she over
hears a detective trying to black
mail her husband with a signed con,
fession, is superb and up to hen
highest standards.
