THE MISFIT WIFE"

AS the featured player in the
sparkling comedy drama, The Mis-
fit Wife," Alice Lake has another
winsome role in Katie Malloy, it's
heroine. Katie is a regular girl"
and proves it in more ways than one.
Katie feels that she is cut out to be
a manicurist; so when she is fired"
from a laundry for burning a silk
shirt, she packs her grip with a COM
plete manicuring outfit and sets out
for Paris to carve-or, we might say,
file-her future. OF course it's
Paris, Wyoming, not Paris, France
In the rude Western town Katie
opens her shop in the Travellers Rest
Hotel, and soon has the town at her
feet. She meets young Peter Gran
dali, stepson of Henry Gilsey, New
York financier, who has been
shipped west to keep him away from
the white lights and mahogany bars.
Peter is trying hard to sustain his
metropolitan reputation Ill 1dflS,
Wyoming, when Katie takes a hand
at reforming him. She succeeds,
and the result is that he marries her
and brings the rough diamond home
to the Gilsey mansion. Katie is at
once catalogued by Peters mother
as an interloper who doesn't be-
long" and when the young man is
called west again to the oil fields
on business for his stepfather, Katie
is subjected to constant nagging
and humiliation, but is finally ac-
cepted as a member of the family

YOUTHFUL FOLLY"

The latest Selznick Picture star
ring Olive Thomas is the feature at
traction for the Grand theatre Sep
TENDER 10 and 20. The feature is
entitled Youthful Folly" and in it
Miss Thomas appears as both star
and author. She not only plays the
leading role but is solely responsible
for the plot which is developed by
the action.
Youthful Folly" is a story OF
Domestic intrigues and as such
might be called society drama. 1t
has, however, a world of action
which puts it in the class of the re-
fined melodramas which now are
the preferred form of entertainment,
There is a lively fistic encounter and
the big climax is brought about
when a jealous husband makes a
murderous attempt upon his rival
and seriously wounds an innocent
party.
Craufurt Kent appears in leading
support of Miss Thomas and Other
important members of the cast are
Helen Gill, Hugh Huntley and Harry
Truesdale.
