McLEAN’S PICTURES. MAY ALLISON, TUESDAY. Mr McLean presents on Tuesday even ing the American beauty May Allison in “Castles in the Air.” This is a delightful comedy of refreshening and | charming simplicity in which beautiful | Map Allison displays a wide range of ! talent. She is seen as Fortuna, a i romantic little usher in a fashionable theatre. Fortuna believes that romance except in books, is all “bunk,” for, none of the excitement and love she has read of has ever come into her life. One day, however, she does meet a millionaire, but contrary to all precedent, no romance develops. Here is where truth proves stranger than fiction, for things begin to happen that seem like a fairy tale to the romantic trirl. Besides being the means of bringing lasting happiness into the hfo I of the rich man, she also finds her own 1 love story, which ,like a fairy tale of ! old ,ends in “happiness forever after. ’ Tile story is one where flashes .of bril- ( liant humor blend with stirring appeal. The third episode of “Wolves of Kultur, 99 will also be shown.
