MAE MARSH ESSAYS
HOTELKEEPER ROLE
Growing Versatility of Popu.
lar Film Actress Displayed
in 'All Women"

Mae Marsh's versatility is constantly
developing Though younger than most
stars of the screen. Miss Marsh has had
years of experience in many kinds of
roles. But II remained for "All Women"
her latest Goldwyn production, which
will be the principal feature at the
Stanley Theatre all this week. to give
her part she has never anticipated
playing-that of a country innkeeper
Miss Marsh, as Susan Sweeney. a New
York factory girl, receives word while
at work that she has inherited a half
interest in a hotel In the Adirondacks.
Straightway she leaves her home to as
sumo charge of her mountain hostelry.
The place has for years been poorly
managed, as a glimpse of the inn proves.
Paint has beer conspicuous by many
years absence, and in many other ways
the place appears cold and uninviting.
But all this Is changed very soon after
Susan takes hold She dismisses em-
ployes who for years have been more Of
hindrance than help. and soon the
place becomes one of the busiest spots
In the mountains Her only trouble is
in finding a suitable waitress. But that
fails to daunt Susan and for n time she
takes the job of serving her patrons
herself
one of the scenes in the dining room
finds Susan waiting on dozen men and
women. She has two cooks working
their hardest to fil her orders and. once
when she feels they are tagging. Susan
is seen running into the kitchen and
gathering up food to appease several
complaining patrons. Lively scenes
abound in the picture.
