MUST JAZZ MUSIC CO.?

Jazz music is all right-but oh,
what difference between jazz in
Melody shop and Jazz in the softly
lighted cafe of n fine hotel!
Gladys Walton, in playing With
Fire" her Universal starring vehicle
at the Colonial today, makes the
change from queen Of the sheet mu-
sic emporium to high toned society
very sympathetically. She's not SO
bad in the jazz dispensary. but boy,
what n queen in the conservatory!
Really, you know. the fiapper isn't
such a heartless little creature. She's
often pictured as a girl of such cruel
vampng tendencies that youthful
masculine hearts lie in heaps about
her. But this one doesn't even lean
across the sheet music counter when
dinners az the Astor, rides along the
Hudson and tickets to the best show
in town are mentioned to her. She
merely notices the presence of the
music buyers as though they were one
of the necessary evils of life, and
keeps on dreaming of young Lochin-
vars with the names in the blue book.
We'll were not going to let you in
on any more, for if we do you will
say, ooh, | know that story, she is a
romantic young shop girl" She is,
and when she said, "What l don't
know about handling men-you can
write on an aspirin tablet" she was
right. And on the same program
with playing With Fire" two-reel

the management of the Opera House
will present Rupert Hughes latest
picture, Dangerous Curve Ahead.
The customary prices and starting
hours will prevail, and there will be
the usual surrounding program, and
of course, the Opera House orchestra.
The synopsis of the story of Dan
gerous Curve Ahead" is as follows:
Phoebe Mabce is blue eyed, with
blonde, bobbed hair. She is one of
the prcttiest girls in the small town
in which she lives, and the fact is no
secret to her. She has had several
proposals, but finally accepts Harley
Jones, after thrilling scene in which
young Newton, the wealthy city man,
gets the worst of it. Newton goes
back to the city and Harley and
Phoebe follow him there after they
have been married and given God
speed in a hail-storm of rice.
The Jones family now 60 through
the familiar throes of the post-hon-
eymoon period. Harley has to work
hard and leave home early in the
morning At night he is tagged out.
But Phoebe has to NOPE in the empty
house all day and she is lonesome.
She encounters Newton, who pursues
her to her home. OF course Harley
turns up unexpectedly. becomes flu
riously jealous and engages Phoebe
in their first real quarrel. All is for
gotten when the first baby comes.
Harley is progressing in his business,
and Phoebe becomes a loving mother.
Two more children are added to the
Jones family. and we are shown an
intimate glimpse of married life with
all it's complications, its miniature
tragedies, and its comic compensa-
TONS Then Harley, who has become
quite successful, goes to Europe for a
business trip, and Phoebe takes the
children to the seashore to be as near
him as possible. It Is there that she
is bitten by the society bug, and does
her best to become intimate with Mrs.
Noxon, Newton's rich aunt, and
queen of society. She succeeds and
is just about to attend gorgeous
dinner at the NoXon home when Har-
ley comes back suddenly from
abroad. The youngest child is sick.
Phoebe is torn between the dinner
and her mother love. But she goes,
in the face of Harley's wrath. At
dinner remorse overcomes her, she
makes a scene, rushes home, changes
into her house clothes and brings the
baby out of his delirium. Then Har-
ley and Phoebe, having tasted both
the sweets and the bitter of married
life. link hands over their sleeping
child and the picture ends on note
of happiness.-Ady.

ment during the Spanish American
