1.-THE UNFAIR SEX" is
AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

I In "The Unfair Sex" which Is
playing at the Coliseum tonight
only, many of the most exciting
scenes take place in a fashionable
night club at which the enchant-
ress of the piece is hostess. and
where she lures her victims.
The club is called the Merry
Go Round, and Is one of the most
unique night rendezvous the films
have brought us.
Henri Diamant-Bergcr the noted
French director who directed and
produced THE Unfair Sex" for AS
sociated Exhibitors, has decid I'd
reputation for lavish sets, and has
outdone himself on this particular
interior.
The club is on huge revolving
disc, the orchestra on rounl
dais in the center, the tables en-
the outside, with little raised bal
comics at intervals, for the tables
of especially favored guests. and
the dance floor between the or
chestra and tables. The decora-
lions and lighting are equally as
unique as the floor plan.

She would take something.
something that he had loved per-

by. No one would want it, and
surely some little thing belonged
to her. She lowered over the
table, uncertain. trying to make
up her mind. There were pipes
and cigarette cases a funny old
brown dressing gown. there were
odds and ends picked up in his
bachelor existence. She could not
decide. She went to the window
for moment, trying to compose
herself. She noticed second cab

could not see who got out. but
presently she heard footsteps COM

For a moment she could not be-

everything. "A gang of natives

IT NEVER PAYS

WHEN she saw the ashen face
W of the Japanese servant, and
across his shoulder Carlotta
Brooke, Sally did not try to un.
derstand why she was here. Some
thing unbelievable had happened.
She had witnessed a man kill
man and kin hiraseIf. 1t had
saved her. but she was not glad.
Instead a dull throbbing ache
moved in her heart.
She looked into Carlotta's eyes.
The older woman said in a broken
whisper:
Mark saw nim--I found
he'd taken the revolver-I guessed
somehow! Oh. God, I'm too

Then all at once she was on

of terror and confusion it was
not to the lifeless body of her
brother that she turned. but Dan
Shevlin. And over him, who had

she hated him and perha ps did

tears of unavailing regret.
She got UP slowly and faced
Sally. You'd J. better CO. she

She tried to interest herself in

clear sky there came a much

That meant the rocky farm
with its acres of tall pine, its old

$1,000 more, which her aunt had
hoarded like the miser she was.
Sally had drawn half the money
and gone to see the four friends

She found them one anxious Sat
