WANDA HAWLEY
HEADS JOY,BILL
AT COLONIAL,

Another Joy bill will be given at
the Colonial theatre today when
Wanda Hawley will be seen in her
newest Realart feature 1.-The Outside
Woman" Maids According" is the
title of a Pathe comedy while the rest
of the bill shows the 18th episode of
the popular serial, Velvet Fingers,
and the Pathe Review.
"The Outside Woman" is clever
domestic comedy, revolving around
giddy little wife whose love of SELL
ing things to the junk man gets her
into a peck of trouble involving the
dwellers in the apartment above, a
jealous wife of Spanish extraction
and an artist with a penchant for liv-
ing models.
A most unattractive looking Aztec
idol causes all the trouble, because
after said idol has been exchanged
for couple of shawls, the thing
proves to be worth many thousands
of dollars. The method which the
poor little wife adopts to get back the
idol results in many misunderstand-
ings. The fire escape really ought to
have special mention, as it is of great
aid in the desperate plight of the va
rious characters who wish to avoid
compromising situations.
Wanda Hawley is as easy to look
at as Usual. and enacts the star role
with all that dimpled mischievous-
ness which has brought her such
big share of popularity. Big, good
looking Clyde Fillmore is convincing
as the doctor husband, while Sidney
Bracey makes properly amusing
third angle of a most unexpected tri-
angle.-Adv.

ministry emphatically declares that
no political agreement was reached.
