HONEYsUCkLE.-AT CALAx

The pleasing personality of Mary Miles Minter combined with a very clever story make. Moonlight and Honeysuckle" at the Galax an at traction above the ordinary. The idea of the story makes for bright and entertaining action which results in a real live romance with a genuine live affair without gushing senti- ment.
 Miss Minter is cast in this as a girl who first of the west persuades her father to accept congressional charms. so successful in the west, in nomination that she may try out her Washington society. The result is that the charms work in Washington, fatally well, and the girl forgets her sweetheart back west. However, after she has had some intimate ex- perience with two specimens of Washington society. she is glad to have her robust and healthy minded westerner put in his appearance, which he does just in time to save her from much unpleasantness and gossip.
 The scenes of the production are in a Washington hotel and at a pic- turesque summer bungalow. They are in line with the freshness of the story.
