the Coliseum Theater last night and is on for the last time tonight.
 Her interpretation of the sweet, self-saerificing wife is a charming bit of work and it appeals irresist- ibly to her hosts of admirers. The story, which is an adaptation by El- mer Rice of the play by Mark Swan, concerns a young wife with an ex. travagant husband. By the practice of the strictest economy, she saves two thousand dollars, intending to purchase a home of her own. But the husband becomes involved in a business deal and is in immediate need of S2,000. or loses his invest ment. Seeing he is unable to borrow the money, the wife secretly ar ranges with neighbor to lend her husband her own money, pretending it is from him The deal falls through, the money is lost and in an ensuing situation the truth is brought to light. This cstranges the husband from the wife. but there is a subse- quent happy twist which makes for happy finish
 Tho star is finely supported by Warner Baxter. Charles French, Clar- snee Burton. Mae Busch Jean Aeker and Roscoe Karns and the picture was directed by Joseph Henabery
