"Women Who Give" Is One OF the
Finest Screen Productions Shown
in Months.


Finest Screen Productions Shown
in Months.
women Who Give" adapted from
that widly-read novel Cape Cod
Folks" opened at the Colonial
Theatre yesterday. Our advice is to
see it by all means, for it is an I'M
usually striking story of great dra-
matte value, exceedingly we'll direct
ed and enacted by particularly fine
cast.
With the rugged New England
coast as background Reginald Bar
ker has produced a motion picture
that fairly tingles with romance.
drama and thrills. Sarah P. Mclean
Greene's story of seafaring men and
the women who await the return of
their loved ones with the fishing
fleets, is classic and it is even
more absorbing and interesting on
book. Incidentally it is the sort of
photodrama that holds interest for
everyone, man, woman and child
and should pack the theatre during
it's engagement here.
Barbara Bedford, Renee Adoree,
Robert Frazer, Frank Keenan,, Joseph
Bowling, Margaret Seldom, Joan
Standing, Victor Potel, Eddie Phil
lips and William Eugene are in the
cast.
