FOOTLOOSE WIDOWS IS LYCEUM FEATURE
Famous Herald Serial in Films
 Starts Sunday Night

Two mannequins in a Florida hotel in a fast, furious hunt for husbands! Such is the theme of "Footloose Widows" the Warner Brothers picture which opens to- morrow night at the Lyceum with the leading roles taken by Louise Fazenda and Jacqueline Logan. This is the screen version of the famous novel which ran in the Her aid in serial form last winter The companion feature is George Walsh, athletic star of many a photodrama of society and college life, playing his first character role in his first picture of the great outdoors. In The Test of Donald Norton" Walsh has the role of young halfbreed, scorned by many white men and In dians. There is murder and mys- tery to complicate matters and there also is hot love-making under the cold Arctic skies.
 Louise Fazenda, long a popular comedienne, really blossoms forth as a star of the first magnitude in "Footloose Widows" Not alone in the dazzling display of clothes does the fascination of this picture lie, but also in the extreme cleverncss of situation and tangled web of circum- stances into which the principles are projected.
 The cast which presents "The Test of Donald Norton" includes not only Walsh, but also Eugenia Gilbert. Tyrone Power. Virginia True Boardman. Evelyn Delbie and others. The story is one of alter nate thrills and heart tugs.
 Wonderful scenes within the Arc tic circle, tender wooing beneath the northern lights, fights for life and honor and. in the end. peace and appiness-these are the high lights in the picture.

NOVEL MADE INTO PLAY

Victor Marguerite, has made play out of his novel La Garconne" (The Bachelor Maid) which is to be produced at an early date at one of the leading theaters of Paris. This novel, when it appeared some four years ago, . was considered so scandalousy indecent that the Legion of Honor cancelled the authors membership and withdrew his right to wear the little red ribbon in his buttonhole. The book was best seller for months and was then so entirely forgotten that the announce ment of the play has hardly caused ripple.
 The great success of La Prisonniere" (The Captive Woman which deals with the ques- tion of woman's fascination for a woman and Is to be given in New York next season, has encouraged the production of a play based on Marguerite's novel, as such play would have been considered too daring at the time the book was published.
