Whats Your Husband Doing

A Rhymed Review by Russell Holman
Here's picture packed with pep;
A tale of youth and Joy OF living;
A film on which We'll risk our rep
And boom it strong with NO misgiving.
It's all about the funny mess
A spoilt, but pretty little wife
Kicked up to make man confess
He led scarlet double life.
Though hubby was as good as gold,
1t sure did start peck Of trouble;
With jealous wives and lawyers bold
And tipsy ladies seeing double.
A lively "Honeysuckle Inn"
Where complications, mid the pops
OF fiZzy bottles, raised din
That brought raiding squad of cops.
The morning after" cold and grey
Brought sober thought and grim repent
ance,
Til wits and beauty won the day;
The smiling Judge suspended sentence.
A wealth of smiles in ev'ry scene;
You're S o. L.? Then stop your rueing
See Doris May and Doug MacLean
Spread cheer in "What's Your Husband
Doing?"

The Selwyhs Present

"Tea For Three" Roi Cooper Megrue's
remarkable comedy hit, at the Colonial
Theatre for one night only. on Tuesday,
Sept. a. The play comes here following
one entire year at Maxine Elliott's Thea
tire, New York, where it proved to be the
greatest success of it's kind produced in
years.
A cast far above the average in ability
has been assembled by the Selwyns for
this production. Not little of the charm
and the success-of the comedy is di.
rectly traceable to the excellence of the
company presenting it. Theatre goers
will do well to note carefully the date of
''Tea For Three's" engagement. It is
certain to be one of the events of the
theatrical season.

Griffith p,opounds his dramatic phlloso-
ply of life-prominen ly brought out IN
1.-THE Birth of Nation" ard Hearts OF

high standard always maintained by tnis
wizard of the drama, and contains such
names as Mae Marsh, Robert Harron,
Miriam Cooper, Ralph Lewis, Walter
Long, Alberta Lee, Margaret Marsh and
Tod Browning.
There are many sensational scenes in

Wallace Reid, Chauffeur. "Double Speeds
Cast Star in Unique Role.

If handsome Wallace Reid ever lost his
Job in the films, he would be wonder
full success as chauffeur. The author
ity for that pleasant thought is none
other than Wanda Hawley, the pretty
leading woman who plays opposite the
star in Double Speed" his latest pic
ture.
Miss Hawley bases her opinion upon
actual experience, as breezy Wallie. at
tired in grey livery from puttees to visor
ed cap, drives her around in a big red
racing car in the picture. Moreover, he
fulfills all the duties attributed to good
looking chauffeurs in fiction by making
love to his beautiful employees. Only
Wallie isn't real chauffeur-just pre-
tending, because the car he's driving
happens to be his own, stolen from him
in the Western desert, and you can't
blame him for kind of wanting to keep
his eye on it-and Miss Hawley. It's the
start of delightful romance and
thoroughly amusing picture comedy.
Sam Wood directs the film, which is a

What is your idea of what wife ought

make the men in the audience crane their
necks when you escort her to the theatre,

domestic kind who keep your house spot

Tom Moore in Lord and Lady Algy

A woman's pluck and pride are hard to
maintain in the face of almost certain
evidence of her husbands upfaithfulness.
Yet. in Tom Moore's latest Goldwyn pic
ture. Lord and Lady Algy," Lady Aley
comes to scratch when her husband needs
her most, and so saves him and another
mans wife from the most embarrassing
moment of their lives. Lady Algy's action
is all the more commendable in that she
and Lord Algy have been estranged.

yesterday in n talk over reports being

are Republican, he sa!G.
In the senatorial races, Mr.. Rays
predicted that the Republicans would
hold everything they now have and
would gain by carrying Maryland,
South Dakota, Kentucky, Colorado,
California, Nevada, Arizona and
Oregon. Every Republican senator
running for election is certain Of
victory, he said
In a formal statement issued earlier
in the day. Mr.. Hays asserted 'the
