FINE DRAMA OF LOVE,
PASSION AND SUPERB
GOWNS FOR GLORIA

Gloria Swanson at her delicious,
unrivalled best comes to the Ry-
lander on Monday and Tuesday in
her latest Paramount picture,
"Bluebeard's 9Th Wife" 1t is a
comedy-drama of a girl who learn
ed on her wedding day that she
had married a twentieth century
Bmebeard-with seven divorced
wivesl
In BIuebeard's 9Th Wife" Gloria
is said to have the most alluring
gowns ever designed in a story of
French boudoirs and beaches, of
startling scenes and gorgeous set
tipgs, of sensations that pile up
with breathless swiftness.
Society is seen revelling in pleas
ure parties of reckless extravaganza
and amending surprises with the ex-
elusive beach resorts of France
and the palaces Of the rich as the
background, and eliminating in
the Egyptian fete that marks the
last word in Settings, costumes and

FAMOUS PLAY ON
THE SCREEN AT THE
RYLANDER NEXT WEEK

Scheduled for presentation at
the Rylander next Thursday and
Friday is the Fred Niblo produc-
ton, "The Famous Mrs. Fair" a
picture version of a play which has
been acknowledged as one of the
most important contributions of
many years to the book of the
American drama.
James Forbes, distinguished
American playwright, is the au-
thor of the stage play. In it the
celebrated players Henry Miller
and Blanche Bates we're seen for
an entire year on Broadway, and
for two years afterwards they
toured the United States in it,
winning approval on every side.
Everywhere it was greeted as a
really significant drama Of Amer
lean home life, and it presented a
problem which is still vital and still
unsolved.
The author has summed up his
entire play in these words:
"a woman actuated by duty
engages in war work, winning
honors and the loving admiration
and encouragement Of her family
but when on her return she, ac-
tuated by selfish vanity, again
leaves him, the realization is
brought home to her tragically
that a wife and mother can have a
career but not at the expense OF
her obligations to her home and
family"
That is the theme of the play
and the various roles that make it
a thing of great humanity are adj
mirably portrayed. AS Mrs. Nancy
Fair, Myrtle Stedman adds to hel
distinguished screen accomplish
ments, presenting portrayal that
is tender, sympathetic and thor
oughly intelligent. Huntly, Cor
don, as her neglected husband, is
likewise splendidly real Marguer-
tie de la Motto and Cullen Lands
as their two children, on whom the
brunt of Mrs. Fairs selfishness
falls, are just as one would ina
CINE them to be in real life, which
is after all, real tribute. Ware
Crane, Carmel Myers and Heller
Ferguson round out the strong
cast in a fine manner.

the players in "Biuebeard's 9Th
Wife," visited the studio. Miss
Valdemar who is a Russian, wore a
Russian street garb Of novel de-
sign.
Upon seeing Miss Valdemar,
Miss Chaffin's Imagination was
aroused by the quaint Russian
costume, common enough in Eu-
rope but an oddly in America.
She at once set to work and de-
vised three unique gowns, all of
which are worn by Miss Swanson
in the coming picture.
The first is a Beige gabardine
cape coat, into which she worked
the straight Russian lines, the
loose blouse and somewhat tight
fur collar piece of raccoon.
The second creation designed is
taupe garbardine street suit with
a jacquette designed in the loose
fitting Russian style. With sleeves
bound at the wrists and slight
sag at the shoulders. The turban
while not of fur, is designed ex-
actly aftes the Russio-Petrograd'
fur which adorns Miss Valdemar's
head.

tions for Miss Swanson Miss Chat

Styles, like stories, originate
from suggestion, aided by magma
ton. When Gloria Swanson was
being fitted for beautiful gowns
she wears in "Bluebeard's 8th
Wife," Director Wood gave orders
to originate something new, some
thing to warm the hearts of all
women who Sc the picture.
For several days Miss Chaffin,
the designer, studied new ideas,
but was at a loss.

DON'T FOOL YOUR
HUSBAND IS THEME
"N'th Commandment" Has Vital
Meaning for House
wives

What is meant by "The Nth
Commandment" In the case of
the Paramount picture of that
title which comes to the Rylander
next Wednesday, it seems to mean
Thou shalt not fool thy husband"
The picture should be interest
ing to all housewives. 1t is to be
compared to "Humoresque," since
the author, director and scenarist
combined to create that successful
production, and it is similar in it's
appeal.
The story tells of a young wife,
whose husband is i'll and who leaves
home one evening presumably to
work overtime at the Mammoth de-
partment store where she is en-
ployed, to obtain the money neces-
sary to send her husband to the
country for his health. Instead,
she attends a speedy Christmas
Eve party given by number Of
her friends.
At a cafe sum of money thrust
into the hand of the bewildered
girl by a drunken admirer. In her
hurry to escape she neglects to re-
turn the money and carries it
home to her husband, telling him
that she received it from an aid
society. He knows that she has
not been to the store working, for
he has been there to take her
home, so he accepts this as a plaus-
ible excuse. The question arises,
was the girl justified in fooling
her husband? You will be better
able to answer this question for
yourself after viewing one of the
showings Of this picture.
On the program with "The Nth
COMMANDMENT is being shown
Golf" a novelty reel that will be
hailed with delight by all lovers
of that sport. 1t shows the game
as played by Gene Sarazen.

Through as he calls himself, has
no idea who his father was. He
suspects that he may have been
born illegitimate therefore he is
an enemy of society, which would
make him an outcast.
In the course of the stirring ao
ton of the play. "Passin' Though"
learns that his father was hon
orably married to his mother, and
that his parentage was regular in
every respect.
In addition to the Fairbanks
feature the Rylander's Saturday
program will consist of "Why Dogs
Leave Home" one of the Century
comedies, and Art Accord in a chap
ter of "The Oregon Trail"

marries an American nulti-million-
aire "bluebeard," who has already
divorced seven wives. Miss Swan
son, however, in the role of Mona
de Briac, determines she will new
er be John Brandon's eigth wife.
She tantalizes him until he is al
most frantic, when she decides to
give her husband grounds for a
divorce. But Brandon who loves his
wife, checkmates her and all mis-
understandings are cleared away
with love triumphant at the finish.
