down to befit Spanish don. Then
he acquired a distinctly modern trim

to a sharp point. This became known
as "the Cobra cut"
Next, Federico Beltran Masses

bEbE DANIELS
IN PRINCESS
COMEDY

Bebe Daniels is back in comedy
the sort her fans like the best. Her
latest is Lovers in Quarantine
which opened Saturday at the Prin-
cess.
The story Is one Of a ships bride
and a strange honeymoon-of Bebe
as Diana Gordon, a daring little So
ciety miss who elopes with her sis
ter's fiance. It's fun from start to
finish.
When the story opens Bebe is seen
as the hoydenish younger sister of n
socitey miss engaged to an explorer
who Is away exploring-but figures a
bird in the hand is better than one in
Africa so plans to marry a chappie
already on the ground.
But the plot thickens when the ex-
plorer returns and is met by Bebe who
promptly ruins perfectly good straw
hat and the explorers disposition with
her rough tricks. All goes roughly I'M
til plans are made by the elder sister
to elope to Bermuda with the explorer.
DcDe OVCrucdTt lHe ploI anu pIouipliS
locks her sister in a closet and elopes
herself, not permitting the prospective
bridegroom to learn his mistake I'M
til they are well at sea. Some funny
scenes on board ship are the result
of this little dodge.
Finally, after an exciting trip, and
after Bebe has slicked up a bit and
made the explorer admit he was wrong
when he called her a dirty little brat,
they arrive at their destination-only
to be compelled to go into quarantine.
And Bebe is assigned a neat little cot
tage in which she and her husband can
live until the quarantine is lifted. Very
nice-but Bebe and the explorer aren't
married actually-but the authorities
think they are. More comedy situa-
tons.
Lovers in Quarantine" is good en-,
tertainment all the way through and
reveals new Bebe Daniels. Harri-
son Ford plays opposite Miss Daniels
in this one.
