Constance Talmadge
In Comedy Of Venice

dominated by the most feared crook
of Venice in life of thievery, and
thrown by trick of fate into the
company of Economically inclined
American artist, is the role in which
Constance Talmadge is coming TO en-
terrain local motion picture fans in
"Venus of Venice" her latest come
dy drama, which begins two days
engagement at the Gala Theatre next
Sunday.

tale of modern Venice, gives the
vivacious Constance the type of part
in which she delights to appear. And
admirers and critics alike have been
unanimous in the opinion that her
portrayal of "Carlotta," the mischiev-
Gus little "water rat" is the most
whimsical and appealing of her car
eer, greater even than her efforts in
such successes as "The Duchess of
Buffalo and east is, West"
