“HIS WOMAN” FOR GRAND

COMMENCES WEDNESDAY. ARLISS PICTURE COMING. Claudette Colbert and Gary Cooper i are co-starred lor the first time in (Paramount’s new dramatic romance, “Hig Woman,” coming on Wednesday to the Grand Theatre. Au engrossing story of a man and woman who are drawn together through their mutual love for a motherless child, “His Woman” emerges as a human and tender drama which will appeal to young and old. As the girl who lights to overcome the stigma of her past life and win everlasting love and b tiness, Claudette Colbert gives an outstanding performance-. Restrained, sincere and always believable, Miss Colbert rises to new heights as one of the screen’s most 1 talented actresses. Gary Cooper as the sea Captain is seen in a two-fisted role which suits him perfectly. Others in the cast in 'dude Averill Harris, Harry Davenport and Betty Garde. “The Millionaire,” coming to the Grand Theatre next. Saturday, is based i on the danger of idle luxury for an ■ active man. Mr, Arliss plays the part, of a wealthy automobile manufacturer, faced by doctor’s orders and his family’s insistanco, that he give up active work. Unable to stand the enforced idleness and’the apparent cer- » tainty that his daughter is to eventu- , ally marry into the idle rich class, Arliss finds himself a new interest, in life in a partnership with a young man . in a garage and filling station. Amusing and dramatic complications ’ ensue, with the retired capitalist piti ting his wits against unfair competi- ? tion without recourse to his wealth. I This gives Arliss the opportunity to • play a part in overalls and service cap. • a rather rare experience for him, but a ’ delightful one for any audience.
