Virtuous Wives" la an adaption
from a serial story in the Cosmo
politan magazine. It sparlea with
cleverness.
From tho very Introduction, an
Introduction In the way of a scene
between Father Time and a baby
who talks of the career before her
as a sophisticated debutante might,
it Is well cntortainod and woll re
warded for its collective struggle
for seats. This introduction which
causes a laugh and creates an
eager Interest for what Is to follow
exemplifies the Interesting manner
In which George Loune Tucker has
treated Owen Johnson's story from
beginning to end.
It Is a story of sophisticated so
ciety, a society that persists In
skating over the thinnest Ice. And
while Mr. Johnson's plot Is too
fluffy to be worth much In a dra
matic wuy, under the bund of Mr.
Tucker the peregrinations of Amy
Foster in society take on a faclna-
tlon that hold the Interest admir
ably well.
The film has been lavishly pro
duced, revealing a combined sense
of artistry and extravaganza that
Is always enjoyable.
This feature is to be shown at
the Grand Sunday and Monday.

WALLACE REID in
'1Ee Roaring Road'
For the lover of the automobile
"The Rescuing Angel," a breezy
comedy drama featuring Shlrloy
Mason, will be the main ntlracttlon
at tho Liberty theutcr on Tuesday
land Wednesday. This Is 'from the
clever pen of Clare Kummer, one
of the most prominent playwrights
In the business and affords the star
la splendid chance to display her
abilities as a commedlone. As
Angela Doming, the daughter of an
Impoverished family, she enters up
on a matrimonial career that in
volves her in all sorts of difficulties.
How to rescue her father from flna-
clul troubles Is the perplexing prob-
llem that, enters her mind. Shall
I she marry a wealthy admirer and
solve the problem. Just so. But the
ceremony is hnrdly over before the
husband finds that her motives have
been mercenary from tho start.
A stormy scene occurs and An-
gelu Is considerably ' crestfallen to
discover that her spouse has con
demned her with some pointed
truths. This situation naturally de
velops a deal of trouble for the
bridul eouplo, as well as for An'
goln's friends and relatives. You see
she has married without their
knowledge. At this point the picture
unfolds a plontitude of high-spirit
ed action that Is skillfully bandied
by tho author, and the scenos offer
the players a good opportunity to
bring out their fun-making powers.
The story, while modestly humor
ous hns Its dramatic' moments, nnd
so carries a' note of contrast.
With this picture wll be featur
ed the Drew comedy, "Squared."
On Thursday only Mary Plckford
comes In one of her clever plays,,
this time "Rags." This is full of
the usual good comedy and good
I acting thnt goes wl(h Mary's plays,
The oponlng serial of "Elmo the
Mighty" fenturlng Elmo Lincoln
will be shown nt the Liberty at
this performance. Elmo Lincoln is
one of the world's strongest men.
A dramatic photo play with the
scenes in Scotland ' and India, and
the "East is the east and the west
is the west," theme, with a side
touch of the black hand Mafia, and
the Japanese star portraying a
Hindu scientist. He loves a Scotch
girl and the girl loves him, but
caste and racial prejudices conquer
love, and their romance is ended.
A seml-bnppy ending Is provid
ed however, by the girl's sister, who
weds the young juvenile, whom the
Hindu saves from the hands of the
Mafia, with whom he had associated
himself In the more tended years
of his'' youth. Continuity, sets, di
rection and casts are very fair, and
while not an entertaining story It
will generally satisfy.
Sessue Hayakawa Is featured in
this Aim, which comes to the Grand
Tuesday and Wednesday.
As adapted from the novel by
Isabelo Ostrander, "The Island of
Intrigue" presents a lively mystery
picture with a pretty romatic thread
traveling through it. May Allison,
the star, Is usually associated with
pictures of comedy or farce mold,
and while these are more in her
line, no one can deny that - her
latest effort fulls to Interest.
The plot opens when Malda War
ing, daughter of a millionaire, re
ceives an invitation to spend tbe
summer with an old friend of her
father's, a Mrs. Smith. A Mrs.
Smith duly calls for her and Malda
Is far away on an Island when the
true Mrs. Smith arrives. From there
on the action moves at a good pace.
The suspense Is well upheld and
the romantic Interest Is well work
ed In.
May Allison will be seen at the
Grand Thursday and Friday.
Grace Darmond Is to be seen next
Friday night and Saturday In
"What Every Woman Wants."
The thome of the story Is a love
affair, The herolno marries nor
employer, when her sweetheart, on
aviator, 'fighting In Franco, Is re
ported as missing. The husband
soon discovers that sympathy, not
love, Is what prompted him to
marry her; bo he noglocts her. The
hero, who was not killed but was
made a prisoner, escapos and re
turns. The husband la' found mur
dered nnd tho wife is accused of
the crime. It finally develops, how
ever, that ho was accidentally killed
I by the mnld, who was pleading.
with him not to give her up to the
authorities for a theft she had com
mitted. In the end the heroine finds
happiness In the arms of the hero.
"The Strange Woman," which Is
to bo shown at the Grand theatre
Saturday and Sunday,' August 16
nnd 17, matinee and evening, has
a powerful love thome which is
bound up with the question of
whother .marriage is an essential
social custom. The heroine, a wid
ow refuses to be wedded to her
American sweetheart. The love af
fair begins Jn Paris and comes to
a somewhnt unexpected and star
tling climax in a little town In Iowa.
The IOwa folks do not understand
Parisian ideas or clothes, and the
heroine of tho story, Miss Gladys
Brockwoll, experiences a great many
very natural difficulties in educat
ing - them.
