MAE MARSH IN NEW ROLE;
 LIVELY FEATURE TOMORROW

All Woman, lively Goldwyn flea. ture which will be the attraction a, the Coliseum tomorrow night, gives Mae Marsh an entirely new role first as factory worker and later IS boss of a mountain hotel Though younger than most stars of the screen, this gifted actress has had years of experience in almost every conceivable role. But it remained for "All Woman. her latest Gold. wyn production, to give her par, she had never anticipated playing that of a country innkeeper.
 As Susan Sweeney, a New York factory girl, Miss Marsh receives word while at work that she has in- herited a half interest in a hotel in the Adirondacks.S s.Straightway she leaves her home and work to as sume charge of the mountain hotel. The place has for years been poorly managed and neglected, but all this is changed very soon after Susan takes hold, and the old place soon becomes one of the busiest spots in the mountains. The only bit of trouble encountered is in finding a suitable waitress, but she overcomes this by taking charge of the dining room herself.
 There is a lot of action to the story, we'll balanced with wholesome humor. and the leading lady is sup ported by an all-star cast, including Jere Austin, new Goldwyn acquisi- tion, long prominent on the speak ing stage.
