AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYB’ PICTURES “ THE ADVENTUROUS SEX ” --TO-NIGHT. A Master Picture production “ The Adventurous Sex ” and starring Clara How, Herbert Rawlinson, Earle Williams, and Harry T. Morey will be presented at the Princess Theatre tonight. Disillusioned, heart-broken, she plunged into the rapids; the great Niagara offered her peace in her hour of distress. Then, overhead, came the ’plane—and in it the man she really loved. See the most thrilling rescue you have ever imagined. A story of a jazz-mad flapper who found what dregs lie below the hubbies. A comedy and topical will also he shown. On .Monday next “The Collegians” will he presented. Lively, wholesome and exhilarating is the two-reel Jun : --

Jewel Production. “The Collegians,” which opens on Monday at the Princess Theatre. Brilliant and flashing with the light cares and joys of the students in a co-educational college, the picture makes the oldsters tingle with memories and the youngsters with wonderful bliss. This picture is one of a series, but it is not a serial, for each story is complete in itself. If the others are anything like this one, the bright com-edy-dramas of “ The Collegians ” so ries have been properly named, Junior Jewel Productions, for nothing has been spared' in making them equal in every way to the best feature length picture. George Lewis has been well chosen for the featured lead. He is ideally cast in the character of a youth from the country with a strong athletic bent and a thirst for college life, hut no money. He enters the co-ed school, financed with nothing but faith and ho]>e. His adventures are exciting and laughable from the beginning to the end of the story. Dorothy Gulliver, the Salt Lake beauty, who won the Laemmle prize last year and lias progressed in leaps and bounds since her first appearance on the 'screen, is convincingly good looking and generally charming as the daughter of the dean. She is the delicious morsel of contention between the freshman hero and a sophomore rival who stoops to conquer. . The co-eds who play minor parts in the picture have been chosen by a casting director who knows that beauty plays a major part always. No better player could have carried off the role of the doughty coach than Hayden Stevenson, whose movie career began with something of a bang in “ The Leather Pushers ’* with Reginald Denny. Every foot of “ The Collegians ” is vital and brilliant. and the titles and photography are exceptionally fine.
