It has already received the local stamp

book and lyrics, and Ivan Caryll. who
composed the music. The story revolves
around the adventures of a gay young
Parisian, who has been a most pro

to be married to a fair and Innocent

restaurant at the same time as a mem
ber of an automobile party and sur

wit of the "Pink Lady" he Is extricated

"The Pink 1-ady" is rich in catchy

teach him that a man cannot live unto)
himself alone. The messenger from
Mars transplants him from rich and!
comfortable circumstances to those of
poverty, and makes htm to suiter as
he had seen others suffer without
feeling a throb of pity.
Through his own experiences. In
this changed condition, his entire na
ture Is transformed. He becomes sym
pathetic and there Is developed In him
a regard for humanity which ennobles
his whole nature. The production is
a most appropriate one at this season
of the year.
The settings are splendid. The en
tire production is distinctly a Famous
Players' production, and worthy the
Frohman standard.
The Peoples is the only photoplay
house In the city that secures a con
stant and unfailing stream of famous
plays enacted by famous stars of the
