STORY OF BET AT PEOPLES
Film Shows How Society Man Failed

"I bet that I could commit a bur

this city couldn't catch me," said a rich
young New York society man in his
club one day. And Just because all
his friends laughed at him and were
in haste to "take him up" he set seri
ously about the task of proving his
assertion.
If this hadn't happened, at least in
the imagination of the authors of "A
Gentleman of Leisure," the famous
Broadway comedy of that name would
never have come to the Peoples Thea
ter. Nor would Wallace Eddinger
have made such a hit.
Of course. Eddinger is caught.
Enuallv. of course, he catches the Po
lice Commissioner grafting and ob
viously, of course, Mr. Commissioner
decides' the course of justice best
served by releasing Mr. Eddinger. "A
Gentleman of Leisure" strikes a popu

"Your Baby and Mine," however, is
the picture which made the big hit. It
is a comedy of babies and tickles you
to your ears and puts you In good
humor whether you would be or not.
"A Costly Exchange" is a picture
which must be seen to be apreclated.
This programme will be' on until to
