Coming Out Party at the
Coliseum Tonight Has
DARN g Theme

Timely, universally interesting and
rich in entertainment quality,
Coming Out Party" Fox Films
latest release, will be shown at
the Coliseum Theatre for the last
times tonight. 1t is daringly and
realistic expose of the dignified
debutante racket. Jesse L. Lasky,
producer, has gone to the society
pages for his material, and has
produced a lavish film that is
packed with laughs, romance, gay
ETY. and music.
Going behind the scenes, the film
depicts the petty hates and desires
of debutantes and their ambitious,
social climbing mothers. Conniving
social secretaries, ambitious band
leaders, and "stags" trying to
crash" coming out parties, are
few of the choice morsels served.
Among the seasons debutantes,
is the lovely daughter of one of
New York's wealthiest families. On
the eve of her coming out party,
she learns from her sweetheart, a
struggling young musician, that he
must leave for Europe to partici-
pate in concert. Although she
realizes that it is necessary for
them to get married Immediately,
she says nothing and tearfully
agrees to wait for his return. At
the party the girl realizes she is
being unwise and she decided to
elope with wealthy sutton Mean
while, the butler who knows of her
predicament, hastens to the boat
to prevent the young man from
sailing. They both return in time
to stop the elopement, and the
lovers are happily united
Frances Dee and Gene Raymond
who supply the romantic interest,
are both attractive and able in
their roles. Alison Skipworth, Nigel
