MEN WINK AND
WOMEN WONDER,

There Is bound to be an unusual
appeal to every patron of the Colonial
theatre who attends the cozy little
house either today or tomorrow, for
the two feature pictures that will be
offered are both of an out-of- the or.
dinary type. s-
"The Gay Lord Quex" suggests
things. To begin with it features
Tom Moore, one of the cleverest men
who ever thrust his handsome form
In front Of the camera. Then il
shows scenes of night revelry, the
kind that will make men wink at one
another to recall their own wild -oats
days and make women wonder IL
their husbands have ever been like
that. The comedy is by Arthur Wing
Pinero, the famous English dramatist.
The story of "The Gay Lord Quex"
is one Of the most clever and divert
ing that has been flashed on the
screen in years. The hero, LORD
Quex. is an amusing figure, a typical
product Of the idle rich and a noto-
rious philanderer. He meets a young
girl and falls desperately in love with
her. but finds that his ignoble past is
a bar to an honorable love. Upon
promise Of reformation. the girl con-
sents to marry him. His suit. how
ever. is not approved by Sophy, a
protege Of the girls family, who
knowing that the girl is in love with
a young officer. does everything in
her power to block her marriage to
the nobleman. Events take a por-
tentious turn at a house party at
which Lord Quex meets a Duchess,
vain, sentimental woman with whom
he has had liasion some time be-
fore. The Duchess begs for a priv
ate interview in her apartment at
midnight to which the Lord assents
Sophy gets wind Of the intrigue, and
in trying to get evidence Of Lord
Quex's perfidy, finds her own repu-
tation compromised by a clever trick
on the part Of the nobleman. From
this point on, complications efisue in
rapid succession, eliminating in a
high powered climax, as unexpected
as it is absorbing.
Entirely different in its nature is
the other feature Of the week -end
