Weeks With Pay" dealing with the experiences of a shop girl who, spending a vacation at a fashionable hotel. is mistaken for famous movie offers Miss Daniels an ideal vehicle for her particular charm. The picture is refreshingly different from the ordinary film story and is thoroughly enjoyable.
 Larry Semon in The Hick," the other big picture at the Columbia today, offers one of the funniest character parts he has ever shown. An entirely new brand of stunts and fantastic humor marks ''The Kick" as being a comedy distinctly worth while No effort or expense is spared in any of the Semon comedies to achieve the desired effects and ''The Kick" with its elaborate detail of setting. is no exception to this rule.

stages of the story, we find him re- turning from a Parisian trip. with young Spanish bride. The girl feels oddly out of place with her new ac- quaintances. and the man-careless- ly neglects her in the attention to his business. Years of this sort of life has so worn on the wife that we find her deserting the husband though not until the daughter of the union has become young lady. Even the loss of the wife, while keenly felt by the husband does not shake his strange views, his daughters elopment is the next blow. and then misfortune fol- lows thick and fast, eliminating in his being reduced to poverty. But with the coming of poverty comes the realization of his false philosophy and then begins his search for the happiness he has tossed away. With the typical style of all his stories, Sir Gilbert Parker has handled his mar rative, bringing order out of chaos, happiness out of misery in a climax highly appealing and intimately hu- man.
