PRINCE EDWARD

“NOT QUITE A LADY” What would a girl do if she were frustrated by a scheming mother from marrying the man she loved? Such is the theme of the picture, “Not Quite a Lady,” to be shown at the Prince Edward Theatre this evening. The star is Mabel Poulton, that charming, vivacious personality who

critics have acclaimed as one of England’s Vnest stars. Her leading man is Maurice Braddell. a typical and handsome Englishman. These two young stars give a charming study of youth’s b*a 1 11 e against the wits of a very cratic mother,

whose wiles finally win over her son. Mabel Poulton. as Ethel, the pretty, young, vivacious dancer, is refreshing to the eye, and her delightful, spontaneous dancing in a cabaret scene of a London night show is one of the outstanding features of the film. The story concerns the infatuation of a young man for a cabaret dancing girl, to whom he becomes engaged without the knowledge of his proud and aristocratic mother, who, when she learns of it, determines to prevent the marriage taking place. “Out of the Ruins,” starring Richard Barthelmess in the Sir Phillip Gibbs story of post-war France, is the second feature.
