BRITANNIA
“TOO MANY CROOKS” The old proverb to the; effect that sn over quantity of culinary artists frequently plays havoc with perfectly K°od broth, not only applies to cooks, hut to crooks as well. Such in the firm belief of Mildred Lavis, charming: and vivacious young screen actress, who makes her appearance at the Britannia Theatre in Paramount's comedy, “Too Many Crooks," to-night. The photoplay, which brims with hilarious situations, concerns a fashionable Long Island debutante who wagers *he can write a good crook play. To obtain first-hand information, the girl launches upon a companionship with a band of desperadoes, who soon turn her home into a den of iniquity, and threaten her reputation in society. Mildred finds she has made a bad bargain and that “too many crooks,” like "too many cooks,” bring disastrous Jesuits, no matter what they attempt to do. The picture, directed by Fred Newmeyer. co-features Lloyd Hughes. George Bancroft and El Brendel with Mi«s Davis, it was adapted from E. J. Rath's novel.
