BARON, THAT'S
MEN.JOU

Adolphe Menjou is featured this
week at the Columbia, Theater
in "A Social Celebrity a Para
mount comedy. The story, not
of absorbing interest, deals with
a young proprietor Of a barber
shop, Max Haber (Menjou), the
best barber in small town who
falls in love with his cashier,
Kitty Laverne, expertly played
by Louise Brooks. The father,
Chester Conklin. who shaves the
men while his son hobs the
girls, does some very good act
ing. Shortly thereafter Kitty
goes to New York after vainly
trying to persuade Max TO likewise
seek broader field. 1t takes little
to encourage him to make the
change and when wealthy woman
from the metropolis, who has had
her hair bobbed by this expert,
urges him to move to New York,
he determines to go.
Though tonsorial ministrations
would scarcely seem to be an
inspiring theme for a play,
Menjou, ably assisted by the
aforementioned stars, does very
well with the vehicle. Some
young daredevils persuade the
barber to impersonate French
count and in that role he in
fatuates a young society girl.
While with these friends at a
cabaret in a chance encounter
with Kitty, she inadvertently tells
his real occupation thus creating
a decidedly embarrassing situa-
ton but in the end she realizes
with him that it is better to be
what you are than to try to be
what you are not" SO they re.
