Coliseum

A tornado of fun is promised at
the Coliseum tonight, when Seven

Warner Brothers picture is the one
that the critics in other cities have
been raving over and that the pub
lie everywhere has been tanning In
to see. Marie Provost is the star,
and this vivacious little actress, with
her canine destinations, is said to
have scored her biggest hit in the
role of the most important sinner OF
the seven.
The seven in question are daring
crooks who invade mansion on
Long Island, when the underworld
grapevine spreads the news that the
place is unoccupied. Each is work
ing separately and each leaps for
protection to the masquerade of a
probable person to be In the house.
In this way they become guests,
servants, and one. even, imperson-
ates the owner. They are all work
ing against each other in a game of
wits, when they find themselves
made prisoners in the house. From
then on the situations are said to
be continuously and hilariously
amusing.
Marie Provost appears as Molly
Brian, an expert safe-cracker, heart
breaker, and laugh maker. Give
