Episode two shows our hero at the apartment of a society youth who persuades Menjou. to pose as a foreign Count ‘‘just for to-night.” So, much against his better judgment, he is presented at a society function as Count Havare de Marin. He then proceeds to fall in love with the most beatiful girl in the room. And she does not try to discourage his attentions. With the passing of time, he gets deeper and deeper into th social swamp. What can possibly happn to save him? What would you do if you were in his booes? Interesting and amusing, isn’t it? That is the basic theme around which “A Social Celebrity” is built.

OPERA HOUSE. In Samuel Golwyn’s latest production, “Partners Again—with Potash and Perlmutter,” which opens at the Opera House this evening, comedy lovers arc promised a portion of laughs such as is seldom meted out in an evening. This time it is the distribution of automobiles which captures the fancy of the famous partners. They deal in the Schenckmann Six/’ a car priniipally noted for its .faults. any and harrassing are their experiences in demonstrating the new models, and many hairdireadth escapes- are their lot.. Kot all the thrills are* contained in the automobile episodes, however. The dynamic pair of business men are also called upon to indulge in a most erratic airplane journey, and Abe is in no condition for aeronautics at the time. Armed with onl ya hot water bottle, and wearing naught but his robe de nuit, Abe sets forth to conquer the air under the guiding hand of Mawduss. Things happen fast and furiously,, but for the benefit of those who look forward to the annual appearance of these two fun-makers, it may be said that they escape practically unscathed. A News reel and comedy complete the programme. Reserves at Henderson’s..
