What Is Riches
to Woman?

Augusta theatregoers all remember
THE Old Nest" and Dangerous
Curve Ahead" two great Goldwyn
pictures that dealt with the tragedy
of the neglected mother and the glo-
riOus comedy drama of young mar
ried life.
Now Goldwyn presents you with a
third-"Poverty of Riches" which
deals with theme that is even more
vital. Poverty of Riches" goes to
the very source of life, and reveals
one of the greatest problems Of civil
ization. 1t carries a message that
wings straight to the heart of every
man and woman in the world.
The picture is told simply and
straightforwardly. 1t is splenddly
put together and shows the excellent
direction of Reginald Barker. More
over, an all-star cast that lives up to
that description. gives a faultless per-
Torrance. Leatrice JOY and Louise
Lovely are the two young wives:
Richard Dix and John Bowers, their
husbands. SO excellent an actress as
Irene Rich plays for the first time
the minor role of an old lady. Other
well known players in the cast are
Dewitt Jennings, Dave Winter, Roy
Laidlaw, John Cossar, frankie Lee.
Dorothy Hughes and a Kindergarten
of delightful children.
And on the same bill with Poverty
of Riches" at the Colonial for today.
are, a Sennett comedy "F'ickle Fam
cy," Burton Holmes and the Pathe
News, which all go to make n most
pleasing picture program.-Adv.

the principal address before the
Maine Association Of Mutual Fire In
surance Companies at the Chamber

report that they have adopted the
recommendations of Commissioner
Smith and speak highly of the plan
