So off they go to Lakewood, the bridal couple and Dodo's three adinirora Dr.' Elliott, Hon Brown and Tommy Beldon. i Angered by his fuilure to have Dodo all to himself, Herb sends himself a telegram cnlllng him back to the city. He takes two' of Dodo's wooers with him, hut the third, Dr. Elliott, stays over;' and fortunately so, for Dodo . learns t"hc telegram was spurious and goes into hysterics. Herb returns to take Dodo back and finds her with Dr. Elliott. A scene ensues, but Dodo ap peases her husband with the promise never to look' at any other man. That promise she keeps long enough for Dr. Elliott to wed Fannie Weston and fdr Brown to become engaged to Angle Martin. Dodo, however, rebels at her hus band's neglect on' their first wedding anniversary. She telephones to Dr. lMhott, nnd his bride is made jcaloui by the message: Meanwhile Brown's fiancee has called on Dodo, wailing tnut she, too, has been neglected and revealing that she is going to Tommy Beldon's fancy dress party with an other, man.-' To. prevent Angie from being compromised, Dodo'phones to Brown to come anil take her to the ' pjarty. Than, the real fun begins. This, with a good comedy, completes tlie program. S-T-A-R MARY PICKFORD COMING. IN "THE LITTLE AMERICAN" if''-- -v .
