TO-NIGHT-LAST TIME ‘THE GOLD DIGGERS.” Contrary to its literal meaning “gold diggers” are not people engaged in searching the depths of the earth for the precious metal, but as shown in this picture, they are beautiful young women, whose profession is dancing and acting, but who spend their spare time “digging” foi gold in the form of entertainment, jewels, clothing, and money; and these incidentals they get from business men who seek diversion from the worry and stress of business. Thus “The Gold Diggers,” a. special Master Picture, tells the story of a troupe of gold diggers, led by one Jerry Lamar, the wildest and gayest of the party, who live merrily in a large apartment while their expenses are being paid for by a numbei of wealthy men.

How true love enters into theii lives and complicates the entire affair, and how Jerry plots and plans to brings things to a successful termination is brought out in this film in a highly interesting and thorough ly amusing way. The large and expensive cast is beaded by Hope Hampton, Louise Fazenda, Windham Standing, Gertrude Short and Al<?c Francis. FRIDAY and SATURDAY. “YOU CAN’T GET AWAY WITH IT.” There are many reasons why girl who has strayed from the paths of iron-bound convention. would want to return to a life that would meet the approval of society, but loneliness is not commonly one of them, "■’’et that is the case of Marne in the William Fox s recn production of Gouverneur Morris’ story. “You Can’t Get Away With It,” which comes to the Arcadia, theatre for two nights’ run on Friday. “Marne is one of those entirely human young persons whom you might meet behind the counter of any department store,” said Rowland V. Lee who directed the picture. “She is the prototype of a girl I came upon accidentally one

time and who, for some reason, insisted upon telling me her story. She tired of the toil of a work-a-day world and sought to escape it through the medium, of a millionaire’s patronage. In eight months she was hack at the job. “Yes, they say be good and you'll be lonesome,” she said to be, “but it s all hunk—all bunk, I tell you. I hzd everything that money could buy—and expensive furnished apart r.'ent ,a limousine at my disposal, wine and song—the song wasn’t so good. I had lots of people around me—the kind who flatter you and let you do the spending, but, God, I was lonesome. Did you ever want someone to talk to, someone who world talk something besides clothes and parties and men and money. That was what I wanted most of all and I had to come back to the job to get it.” Also: The Bth. episode of “The Steel Trail.”
