PRINCESS AND TIVOLI

'TRENCH DRESSING” TO-NIGHT “French Dressing,’* starring H. B. j Warner and Lois Wilson, will be pre- | sented to-night at the Princess and Tivoli Theatres. This Allan Dwan production tells the story of a sedate married couple | living in Boston. The wife is a solemn, serious, almost dowdy young matron. But she goes to Paris for a divorce when hubby inadvertently gets mixed up in an innocent flirtation. There she discovers that fine plumage is sometimes essential to the happiness of - a husband. In the end it all comes out perfectly, with conjugal felicity restored. Lois is a dream in her French frocks. The demure maid of “The Covered Waggon” has vanished and in her stead is the lovely, fashionable girl who wins every heart. H. B. Warner is seen in the role of the quiet husband who turns out to be not so quiet when the time comes to assert himself. Lilyan Tashman is seen as a vamp-—but not as a bad vamp. In reality she is quiet innocent of any desire to break up the Boston couple but appearances for a time are against her. Clive Brook fills the role of a polished Parisian gentleman of fashion, who succeeds admirably in giving the quiet little Boston matron a' sense of her own importance. “Gun Gospel,’* starring Ken Maynard, which will also be shown, is a story dealing with th© old-time “twogun man” and his activities. The picture deals not only with the romantic side of the situation but the large part these men played in the development of the West.
