Current at the Arcadia Theatre IS
Constance Talmage's picture, "Wo-

Talmadge films. Norma will rival
her sister Connie in the comedy that
fills the new picture. To be sure
there Is more than measure OF dra-
matte intensity TO the story, but
comedy runs rampant through the
earlier scenes and Norma proves
