"GAY DECEPTION."

Flaza Attraction.

The boy was unbelievably rich, handsome, and a royal prince, yet he pretended to be nobody. The girl was young and lovely, enjoying a mad merry fling at fife with her last five thousand—and her first. And then they met! There, in a nutshell, is the delicious, mirth-provoking situation in which Fox Film's "The Gay Deception," coming to the Plaza Theatre tomorrow, places its romantic stars, Francis Lederer and Frances Dee. It all starts when Miss Dee, a sweet young secretary, who has longed all her life to be in the whirl of gay city life, wins a sweepstake. prize and decides to spend it on one delirious spree of pleasure. She hies herself to New York and to its gayest hotel. And, ..even though she is mistaken for an heiress, she fails to find the- colourful life she had anticipated. There are everi annoyances, one annoyance in particu-' lar. Heis a bellboy who criticises her hats and. clothes and tells her how lovely she is.: She has no way of knowing that he is a prince in disguise, and when; i through some curious misunderstanding, he is arrested as an impostor, the girl finds herself fighting for his release because she is in-, love with him. Through one brilliant high comedy scene after another, "The Gay Deception" moves to its close and Miss Dee admits that she does love Lederer, even if he is a prince and not the poor boy she hoped he was.
