Carl Laemmle, proprietor Of the
Universal Pictures Corporation, pre-
sents Miss Laura La Plante in "Silk
Stockings" at the Rialto this week.
Adapted from Cyril Harcourt's play,
"A Pair of Silk Stockings" the pic.
ture is fast moving farce comedy
of the bedroom variety, somewhat
reminiscent in spots of Cup in Ma
bells Room" and others of that type.
However. 1t is good, clean fun and
exceptionally good work is done by
the star. Laura La Plante. who holds
the screen exclusively for almost 10
minutes in an extremely clever climax
in which she describes, in pantomine,
to the judge of a divorce court. the
imagined cruelties of her innocent
husband. The story shows how the
misunderstanding of a newly married
couple can bring sorrow to both of
them and how dangerous it is for
young ladies to put their silk stock
ings in a young husbands pocket just
before he goes home to his wife. Most
of the audience agreed to this last.
