Most OF the action takes place on
the golf links and in the home OF
a wealthy man. The manner in
which the inimitable Charles plays
golf makes one roar with laughter.
His bag contains only two golf
clubs but he manages to play the
game nevertheless.
Later, at a masquerade he plays
dual role, in one of which he
wears a suit OF armor. He finds it
quite a protection when he arouses
the wrath OF a husband.
The other feature which appears
on this double feature program is
Betty Compson in prisoners Of
Love-"
If you saw the Miracle Man, q"
you haven't forgotten the wonderful
work Betty Compson did in that pic
ture, but in Prisoners OF Love" you
will see her in an intensely inter
esting picture about a girl whose
extraordinary beauty proved a draw
back.
This is the first time that this
playhouse has ever given the theater-
goers a double feature program and
the Blackstone has been playing 10

at the Blackstone prevail.
