"Exquisite"-that's just the way to
describe THE Exquisite Thief which
was given its first presentations at
the Colonial theatre Friday. Three
more performances will be given to-
day and all motion picture lovers
will surely be on hand to see the truly
wonderful performance given by
Priscilla Dean. Blue-Jean Billie is
the character she plays and it is one
of the most remarkable the brilliant
young actress has yet attempted on
the screen.

admiration by her skill and daring,

made her prisoner. Meanwhile the
police are closing in, and events move
swiftly to a thrilling and unexpected
climax that marks THE Exquisite
Thief" as one of the most interest
ing photoplays of the season.
Miss Deans work wins the highest
praise. Never were her quick chang

vantage than in the part of Blue
Jean Billie.
No more enjoyable and satisfying
program has ever been offered at the
Colonial than the present week end
attractions. Not only does Priscilla
Dean provide most entertaining
feature, but the other film offerings
are far above the average. The two
industrial reels, well Dressed
Clothes" and Straight Goods" are
unique and interesting. William
Duncan proves himself even more of
an athlete than his admirers had
thought him. Smashing Barriers"
has now reached it's fourth episode
and the great serial is proving more
interesting as each new incident is
unfolded. Vodivil and Kilograms

comedy drama that cannot fail to
