Not So Dumb

Based on the stage play "Duley",
which had nationwide popularity a
few years ago, "Not SO DUMB,
starring Marion Davies, which comes
to Fox Imperial Theatre tonight
should be equally good as talking
picture.
A film version of the play was
produced about three years ago,
with Constance Talmadge in the
leading role, and it proved to be as
funny as the stage play.
"Not SO Dumb" tells the story OF
young wife, anxious to help her
husband succeed in business, but
who balls everything up when she
invites his boss to be their guest.
Everything she says or does is just
an additional bit of boneheadedness,
but in the end the dumbness proves
to be the right thing and the young
wife really helps a great deal.
