Augusta theatre goers are prom
Used a rae treat at the Colonial this
afternoon and evening. The feature is
a new Paramount picture called
wild Youth" adapted from Sir Gil
bert parker's fascinating masterpiece
and picturized and produced under
the personal of that master of screen
craft J. Stuart Blackton. This in it
self guarantees to the public a pic
ture extraordinary.
Appealing little Louise Huff is at
her winson.e best This is one of the
seasons best pictures. Don't miss it.
The story deals with the familiar
that the drawing together of people
about the same age works as surely
as that gravitation pulls the apple
from the tree. and that old age which
tries to hold back the Youngsters of
it's generation will only be defeated.
1t is the story Of a young girl mar
ried to an old man who abuses her,
anu INV Slit - ga v "s'NN' - Si
away accident by a young neighbor.
There exists between them, un-
acknowledged even to themselves, q
sort Of tac:t understanding. a sympa
Thy. unspoken, unobserved. yet
strong in itself. Matters seem mex
tricably tangled when a quick turn
of fate leaves the girl q widow. The
Chinese servant, Ii Choo. plays a
prominent part when he lends help
ing hand to the young lovers, and
the Young widow feels she owes him
debt of gratitude at least.
The story has a very happy end
ing. and an evening of rare enter
tainment and amusement is prom
