May- Syd Chaplin's New Fun Hit Coming Monday 'SO THIS IS MARRIAGE" BILLED E loan or Boardman Stars In New Flapper Production One of the most elaborate pro ductions of the year, "Ho This is Ma rringe," Hobart Henley's Metro ftoldwyn picture, is coming to the Heilig, Thursday, Friday snd Saturday. The central feminine role, that 'of a flapper who remains still a flapper after the wedding, is played by Elea nor Boardman, who has lately risen to stellar heights in filmdom. Con rad Negel appears as the young hus band, a part of much delicate brnnor and character strength. Lew Cody, the Dangerous' Dan McGrew in the recent film version, dona dress clo thes In this picture to be the suave romantic figure who appeals when one's husband bores. Others in the large cast include Clyde Cook, of comedy fame. Miss DuPont. John Patrick, Claire de Lo res, Shannon Day, Jack Edwards, Estelle Cnlrk, Thelma Morgan and Francis McDonald.

Modern Wife Shown "So This is Marriage," which comes soon to the Heilig, Is a stirring por trayal of an ultra-modern wife who has been bitten by the Jazs Bug, a "Charley's Aunt" to Show at the McDonald Four Days - It is a' surprising thing, indeed, that the movie makers have not filmed "(.'barley's Aunt" before. Now it is. about ready to arrive via the cinema nnd is advertised for the McDonald theater beginning Monday for four dnys. "Charley's Aunt" probably holds more records for long-distance run ning on the stage than anything out side of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The farce was written by Brandon Thomas and first produced in Eng nnl In 1802. The remarkable thing -about the play was the fact that it has run continuously for the last 33 years and still shows evDence of going strong. "Charley's Aunt" 1 also credited wrth being the funnient phiy ever written, and In making the picture the producers have, designed the scenario to keep all of the biggest laughing sequences in the pay intact. Syd Chapin plays the title role of "Char ley's Aunt from Brazil where nuts come -from" and he is said to do the best work of his career.

"Jnnico Meredith"- combines a charming love Btory nnd a series of dramatic thrills with the most impor tant events in the founding of the American Republic. For magnitude, for dramatic sweep, for sheer splendor and magnificence of settings and costumes, it surpasses anything heretofore accomplished by Miss Davies. And it is American to the core.
