He declared the United States was
thankful that it had Canada on its
northern border. He cautioned

Foolish Wives this week begins
u series of rcvivals of "the greater

the first Of September.
Foolish Wives" the current pic

by Eric Won Stroheim, so We may say
it is Won Stroheims picture. In fact,
the story is much more about him
than it Is about the foolish wives.
The location of the play is in Eu-
rope, and there are some very good
scenes of Monte Carlo and an eXcep-
tionally realistic scene in a peasants
cottage. Won Stroheim takes the part
of All Austrian officer who lives by
his wits and who makes love to the
wives Of other men, often getting
money from them on false pretenses.
