rich coats, a big fiat, servants, jewels
and the like. She is beautiful and
knows how to dress the part. She
plays the role along refined lines and
it is seldom that the character raises
trouble with the master Of the
apartment. She generally has a smile
and permits her lips to be kissed by
him. She drinks his champagne and
eats at his table in a cafe.
But the comedy" If this be come
dy, rests upon the way Adolph Men
jou plays the role OF Pierre Revel,
who pays the rent. He has no morals,
but he has money. AS his companion
OF a fiat he picks a woman who does
not mag" or fight. He expects out
bursts OF temperament, but he is a
wise old owl in quieting the tempest
It is che splendid work OF Miss Pur-
Vance and Menjou which lifts this
picture into the realm OF polite satire
with dash Of drama here and there.
When the girl decides that this
sort Of life doesn't pay, she breaks
on with Pierre and Pierre remarks,
Why not? Call me up some day"
And he promptly forgets her.
It is the smartness OF the acting
and the directing which really puts
over the photoplay The story is
just story. Chaplin does not appear
in this movie.
From a scenic standpoint "A Won
an OF Paris" ranks ways I'D in the
front line. To me it is smart enter
tainment. It is a sort Of a mental
cocktail. 1t sparkles. but will not take
the place Of bread and butter on the
table.
"A Woman Of Paris" is the featured
offering at the Circle this week. The
bill includes the regular orchestral
music. a Christie comedy, a news
weekly and Fun From the Press"

These mistress stories are not new

the interest in such nszEerial centers
entirely upon its treat INT both as to

woman facing the problem of beconn-

employment. Anna Christie was not
bad at heart. although she always on
the verge Of going on the scarlet path.
Anna worked on the theory that man
was the cause OF the trouble because
OF a double standard OF morals.
Chaplin undertakes no problem nor
does he give a solution to a real prob

pokes fun at the whole business. 1

 MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. G. Neither the secretary of state or the probate judges of Alabama counties are charged with any duties to dis charge in connection with the presi- dential primary law, according to an opinion furnished today by Attorney General Harwell G. Davis. The opin- ion was in reply to q request from Secretary of State <. II. Blan, who asked the attorney general what ac- tion if any should be taken by the secretary of state as to the certifica- tion to the various probate judges of the names of candidates who have filed declarations with the secretary as can didates under the presidential pri- m 'ry act and the resolution of the democratic executive committee calling the presidential primary for March II. Neither the state, county nor any mu- nicipality can incur, any expense in the holding of su&h an election, the attorney general ruled. The opinion of the attorney general not only holds that no expense can be incurred by the Stats or counties in holding the presidential primary. but also re- lieves probate judges from taking any part in connection with the election.
