DORIS MAY |NF|NE
 ROLE AT ALCAZAR
Refined Comedy Features "Eden and Return" Offer
 ing This Week

The feature picture offering for the week at the Alcazar will be Doris May in Eden and Return" It in= troduces Miss May in just the sort of role for which she Is best equipped and she gives a performance which. for a1l-round skill. marks her as an artist second to none in her own par ticular field. that of light comedy and smart farce.
 The photoplay itself reveals not only good taste in the selection of the story material and refinement in production, but 1t makes entertain ment of the most expressing sort. It is crammed with laughs. It sizzles with pointed humor. 1t Is rich in hu- man interest and the delicious touch of romance woven through the fab rio of the narrative will appeal to everybody who likes a love story We'll told.
 Directed by William A, Setter. who also directed Miss Mary in "2S1a Hours Leave" and "Mary's Ankle" Eden and Return" moves at express train speed.
 It has to do with the adventures in romance of dashing subdeb. Im- agine the fun you get twhen Doris May-as Betty Baylock-finds that her wealthy father insists she get married at once. Not only does he insist with all his might. but he goes so far as to pick three dashing young swains and demand that his daughter marry one of hem. Does she do 1t? No indeedyl She rebels with all the fervor of a Mexican revolution.
 Then the procession of laughs be- gins in earnest. A really worth while young man comes into her life in a most laugh provoking manner. She finds him in the tonneau of her au- ,omobile. All sorts of rapid-fire fnn develops. The story Is a whale and knockout combined
 Supporting Miss May Is cast of we'll known stars.

A young man who practiced medt- cine in Pennsylvania became famous and was called in consultation in many towns and cities because of his success in the treatment of dis ease.

TWIN TALES"

Are All Men Alike" and "The Lost
 Titan" by Arthur Stringer. The
 Bobbs-Merriu Co.,, Publishers, In-
 dianapolie.
 Are All Men Alike" suggests the fact that life is a waffle iron that shuts down on us and squeezes us into nice little squares like all the ether waffles in the world.
 Whether you agree with this most apt smile; whether you believeI as many women seem to, that all men are alike; whether you demand free- dom and long for self-expression, you will reyel in the humor of this story and you will very likely argue for or against the contention that what happens to this one pretty girl is ex- ceptional and not inherent in the sit uation.
 The Lost Titan" is little mas terpiece and contains a complete drama made roseate by romance. He who loves art will mourn over the lost picture; she who reveis in love triumphant will ask nothing more. Without a wasted moment, or 8 superfluous word, the story springs rapidly into action. From the first meeting of the lovers, from the first sight of the Titan, the tragic loss Is imminent. The action will claim all readers. but many will be won by the exquisite writing, will pause over the setting, done with such rare artistry.
