Garnish with slices of lemon and
sprigs OF parsley. French fried

Thorncroft in Edith Ellis great story
OF the social extremes. The Point of
View" which began a four-day run
at Loew's Columbia Theater yester-
day as the featured attraction OF a
brilliant and extremely entertaining
program.
THE Point of View" is the story
of Marjory Thorncroft. the daughter
Of a once-wealthy family. herself the
only practical member OF her immed-
late family line. When adversely
takes the family. the burden of car
ing for the future naturally falls
to the lot of the girl and the Thorn
crofts, who have ever held their
heads high. contemplate with inner
repugnance, the prospect of Marjory's
marriage to big-hearted Westerner
who is merely a son Of the people.
The romantic motif of the story be-
gins to develop at this point. though
the girl, without respect for her hus-
band. is also without love. Gradually.
through certain circumstances, the
general helplessness of her high
family and the general efficiency and
natural nobility of her husband are
so borne in upon the girl that she
is forced to change her opinion and
her viewpoint OF blueblood and red
and with the change. real love and
devotion for her husband follows.

with a long and interesting list of
added screen and musical hits.
