SATURDAY NIGHT7 WONDERFUL
 DRAMA OF LIFE-STRAND

Have yoN ever wanted to laugh and yet realized that the occasion was one too serious for such an indul- gence? That is just the effect of DeMil1e's splendid drama of human life, "Saturday Night It is a won derful smiling tragedy. The expe- riences of the two mismated cou- ples who have tried to all marry out of their kind and mix the prov erbially unmixable oil and water would be funny were they not so heart breaking.
 The millionaire, who has married and loves the washerWoman's daugh- ter who wonders at the maid who ushers her to her bath four nights before Saturday night" has some really comical experiences with her. but his heart is breaking. Down in the slums a millionaire's daughter has fled with her chauffeur husband. In his home, which he believes so wonderfully convenient and close to the elevated cars that nearly so over their heads, she has screamingly funny, torturing experiences with him and his friends, coarse to her, true gold to him.
 Miss Jeanne MacPherson, the au- thor, has treated both sides of the question with fine sympathy and un- derstanding for both. Along with her good work the actors not only act it off naturally and well, but are well enough selected to look their parts.
 The scenes in the home of wealth and the social functions of "Satur- day Night" are the most magnifi- cent, of which the elaborate DeMille is capable.
