But what's IN a manner After viewing
the Seven Chances We are convinced
that Frank Craven is indeed lucky fel-

most picturesque background for his
comedy, as he hurriedly seeks a wife
against time schedule.
The plot is not new. but the lines and
situations are, and OF all the actors on
happy choice in Craven, whose manner
and facial expression fed a continuous
strain Of laughter the whole time he
was upon the stage.
An avowed woman hater, or at least
woman dodger, Is suddenly informed Of

Miss Bates lends the charm OF her own

to be regretted, however, that few
