Colleen Moore, vivacious First National star, comes to the Princess Theatre to-night in her latest John McCormick comedy-drama, “ Her Wild Oat.” An all-star cast supports Miss in this picture. Marshall Neilan, famous director, who made some of the star’s outstanding hits, directed “ Her Wild Oat,” adding innumerable comedy touches for which he is so renowned. “ H^ r Wild Oat” shows Miss Moore as "aVffctle lunch wagon owner who takes her life’s savings and' spends every cent on one week of luxury and thrills at an exclusive seacoast resort. Her hoped-for splash in society is only a ripple, however, and she is persuaded by a newspaper reporter friend to obtain recognition by impersonating a duchess. After a jay of worried glory, the pseudo duchess is exposed, and Colleen’s troubles begin all over again. Coronado Beach, one of the world’s playgrounds for the wealthy, was used as the location scenes, while an urn usually large building program was instituted at the First National studios to provide the settings representing porti« of New York. Larry' Kent, who left the medical College of the University of. California to enter motion pictures, plays the chief supporting role with Gwen Lee, Hallam Cooley, Fritzi Ridgway and others in important parts. According to advance reports, “Her Wild Oat” is up to the usual exceptionally high Colleen Moore standard. Her role as a lunch-wagon proprietress and a titled member of ultra-society afford her many unique opportunities to provide arch merriment. A topical, scenic and comedy will also be shown. On Tuesday: Madge Bellamy in “Silk Legs.” On Wednesday: Irene Rich in “The Climbers.”
