THE PEOPLE’S. VIVIAN MARTIN IN “MAKING HER HIS WIFE.” Is there a married couple Til this district that doesn’t know tho meaning of tho word “tiff?” H so, that couple ought to see “Making Her His Wife.” There’s a tiff in every ton fee.t. But “tiffs” arc good business, because the more “tiffs” there arc, the more makings up there are, and you could not find a more loving happily married couple than Vivian Martin and Hugh Thompson make in this picture. A little society butterfly suddenly found herself dumped down in a country town as the wife of a country storekeeper. In “Making Her His Wife” the butterfly soon began to make things move, too fast for'her husband in fact, hut the picture tells the story best. The bill includes gazette, travel film, and Christie comedy. EVERYBODY’S.
