“CINDERELLA'S TWIN” IS
DELIGHTFUL STORY; AT
COLISEUM THIS EVENING
Like a page from the book of
fairyland Is “Cinderella's Twin,” the
delightful, piquant story by Luther
Reed which is produced by Metro
Pictures Corporation with Viola
Dana In the stellar role. In this
modern version of the twilight story
of childhood Mr. Heed has added to
the fable so familiar to millions, a
new touch which gives to tt\e screen
( presentation an ' added novelty, and
beauty.
In this twentieth century edition
the heroine, like her famed “twin”
of mythology begins life in the lowly
occupation of a kitchen maid, who, i
while engaged In the menial task of
cleaning pots and pans, dreams!
dreams of the day when she will be ,
a great lady and have a handsome i
lover come to claim her from the'
life of drudgery. But the little maid
of modern times is lured Into a band i
of crooks and compelled to take j
part in a series of robberies quite1
against her will and inclination.
Miss Dana's most recent vehicle,
“Cinderella's Twin," has a whimsical
twist, whfch shows Miss Dana's abil
ities for fun-making in the delight
ful piquant characterization of Con
nie McGill, a little Peg O'My Heart
of the Kitchen, who. as a result of
the robbery she repents, discovers
the man of her dreams. Wallace
MacDonald is Miss Dana's leading
man.
In the cast supporting Miss Dana'
besides Mr. MacDonald, are Ruth j
Stonehouse, Edward Connelly, Ed- j
ward Cecil, Gertrude Short, Irene |
Hunt, Victory Bateman, Cecil Foster
and Calvert Carter.
MARY MILE8 MINTER IN
“PEGGY BE GOOD”, COMING
Although she loved him deeply and
he was her own husband. But this
wife felt she could not do otherwise
in the circumstances and she yielded
the man with sb much grace as pos- i
slble. But If you think this closed J
the account, you don’t know the |
afory of “Jenny Be Good,” which
comes to the Coliseum Saturday mat
inee and nlgli£. The play is direct
ed by Wm. Desmond Taylor. The
scenario by Julia Crawford Ivors as
revealed on the screen with Mary
Miles Minter portraying Jenny, the
a.
young wife who feels called upon
to make this great sacrifice. Jenny,
by the way, does not make it in vain.
She wlnB her love fight easily.
“THE THREE BUCKAROOS”
SOMETHING "DIFFERENT”
Something altogether different in
the way of Western photoplays is
offered in “The Three Buckaroos,”
coming to the Palace Sunday and
Monday. Fred Balshofer, who wrote
and produced the story, unbltishing
ly admits that his plot is influenced i
by Dumas' greatest adventure novel.;
“The Three Musketeers.” The three!
gallant musketeers and the intrepid
youth from Gascony in the Dumas
tale find their counterparts in the
three buckaroos and the equally dar
ing youth from Nebraska in Bals
hofer's “The Three Buckaroos.” And
the resemblance of the latter to the
former continues in the chivalry to
ward Women and their defense of
the oppressed. Otherwise, “The
Three Buckaroos” differs in scenic
investiture, in Its characters and in
it? action. It Is a Western comedy
element scoring high, with a fetch
ing live story and with thrills enough
for a serial.
“CAVE MAN ALWAYS WINS,
BATHING BEAUTY DECLARES
As a general rule, the man who
pays no attention to women Is the
most sought "after “I guess it's the
old story of wanting what you can't
have.” sagely comments Marie Pro
vost, appearing in her first Uni
versal feature, “Moonlight Follies,”
at the Palace Theatre Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday.
“Percival Wilde certainly tinder
stood women when he wrote “Moon
light Follies,” and created the role
of Nan Rutledge. Nan is the mod
ern young flapper, whose chief
amusement in life is to see how
many men she can make fall des
perately in love with her. And then
Just as soon as she has them safely
corraled, she loses all interest in
their affection.
“Then comes along the man-who
doesn't-care-about-women — Anthony
Griswold of Moonlight Follies. Im
mediately Nan tries her wiles on him.
and finding that they do not work,
she becomes'-lnterested. Here is a
new species—a man who can't be
vamped.”
“But Tony is adamant—he doesn't
crumble—and Nan becomes more in
terested. The colder Tony is, the
warmer to Nan’s devotion. She is
falling In love.”
“And then Tony opens his eyes—
he finds out what he has been miss
ing all his life—his heart goes pity
pat for Nan. And they all live hap
pily ever after.”
“All of which only goes to show,”
concluded Miss rPevost in her ad
vice to young men, “if you want
them, you’ve got to keep them guess
ing. The meaner you treat them,
the better they like it.”

EMIGRATION TO
AMERICA CAUSE
OF MUCH WORRY
Government Investigates Sit
uation—Thousands Want
to Enter the U. S.
LONDON, Jnnp 14.(By Associated
Press.)— Great Britain is worried
over the increasing number of skilled
artisans and domestic servants who
want to take up their abodes in the
United States. The stream of emi
grants which lias flocked from these
shores to America has caused a
Bpecial committee of the government
to inquire into the causes.
Only the exhaustion of the an
nital quota of British subjects eli
gible to enter the United States un
der the percentage laws has pre
vented tens of thousands of others
from pitching their tents under the
Stars and Stripes. With the excep
tion of France and Germany, prac
tically every nation is now barred
from sending emigrants to America
until next month, when the new an
nual quota begins. Already the
steamer bookings from the United
Kingdom to America for .inly, Aug
ust and September are full.
‘‘America may still ho the melt
ing pot,” remarks the Westminister
Gazette editorially, “but its legisla
tors are keeping a stricter eye upon
the metals which go into the alloy
than ever before. The Britisli race
Is given a certain measure of flat
tery in an evident disposition to
welcome more of its members, lint
that is scarcely surprising when we
discover that the people whom we
send over are in large measure
domestic servants and skilled work
ers, neither of whom we can afford
to lose.”
