A Universal production starring

dal," at Crandalrs this week has a
somewhat novel aspect in that it
takes for it's heroine the famous
"Follies Beauty" Gladys Walton, in
the role of a stage beauty, a character
which she can portray naturally.
The story concerns girl who
leaves her home at Murphysburg,
goes to New York and captures
broadway as Follfes beauty, but
when she returns to visit her old
home town she finds that the purity
league" has got the upper hand of
things and is legislating even to the
point of forbidding ice cream sodas.
Scandal starts, she is snubbed be-
cause Of her stage affiliations. When
she returns to New York the men
from Murphysburg, among whom are
the most ardent supporters of the
purity league" begin to visit her.
They find it quite proper when away
from home to associate with q stage
girl.
