THE OKLAHOMA ADVANCE
April 20, 1922
Married Life Also
Theme Folly Picture
Rupert Hughes wrote a thrilling
story of married life of today and
the odds against a happy marriage
In “Dangerous Curve Ahead” and
Goldwyn has presented it in a
powerful picture under the same
title and starring Eileen Chadwick
and Richard Dix. There is humor
and pathos, many scenes of do-
mestic tenderness and discord, and
a background of the better class
of American society.
The story is the common one of
the young couple who are happy

At Bridge as a Cowboy
At Liberty This Week
An Arizona setting, cowboys,
dobe houses, cactus and Mexicans,
ail of the paraphernalia of the wild
and wooly thrillers—this is not one
of the movies—but The Liberty for
next week. “Roping His Juliet" is
the title of the clever farce, and A1
Bridge will be seen as a middle-
aged cowboy who has an innate dis-
trust of woman kind, but who suc-
cumbs at last to the wiles of a
middle-aged Juliet—lane Bridge.
' The trio will be booted and spur-
red in true cowboy regalia and sev-
eral chorus costumes will carry
out the western atmosphere. Mayzee
Welden will work again in the
opening chorus, a %>anish number,
with the chorus in costumes of
black velvet bodices and orange and
yellow taffeta Bkirts, black lace
mantillas and high Spanish combs.
Mayzee will wear a Mexican cos-
tume.
The Clarence Wurtig fans will be
interested to know that he is to
have a clever number, “Hindu
Rose,” with the chorus in costumes
suggestive of India. Ruth Edell
will sing “Spanish Lou,” and Ruth
Albright sings "Morning, Noon and
Night” with a chorus suggestive of
the Follies.

A story of British nobility, writ-
ten by Cosmo Hamilton, the author
of “Scandal” and “The Blindness of
Virtue,” and featuring Lucy Cotton
and Wyndham Standing, is “The
Miracle of Love,” a Cosmopolitan
production released through Para-
mount, which is booked at The Ma-
jestic next Wednesday.
English high life has a peculiar
fascination for American audiences,
it is said, and this story takes you
directly into the atmosphere of real
English aristocracy where a young-
er son falls in love with a duchess,
and plans to elope with her.
Through the death of his brother
he becomes the head of his house
and a Duke, and later a diplomatic
appointment clears the way for him
to marry the Duchess who has be-
come a widow.

Carlyle Blackwell Here
In Broadway Picture
Those who saw Carlyle Black-
well here in person last week will
have the opportunity, and the first
in a long while—to see him on the
screen again when “The Restless
Sex” opens at The Broadway, Sun-
day. Mr. Blackwell is cast for one
of the leading parts, and other fea-
tured players are Ralph Kellard
and Marion Davies.
"The Restless Sex” is a photo-
play made from the famous Robert
W. Chambers novel of that title,
which ran in the Cosmopolitan.
Feminism is the underlying theme,
although the story has nothing to
do with suffrage or any of the po-
litical manifestations of feminism.
Th>s story treats of the woman who
having a taste of independence,
wishes to become more than merely
a wife and to attain for herself a
place in the world of art and let-
ters.
The story has been picturized on
an elaborate scale. A ball room
scene in which over six hundred
people take part, a millionaire
camp in the Maine woods, and an
automobile accident are featured.
The Bal Masque is said to be par-
ticularly stunning, and the cos-
tumes worn by Marion Davies were
designed by Erte, the famous Rus-
sian designer.
WEEK-END BILL AT MAJESTIC.
Sunday at the Majestic holds the
promise of a typical popular Ma-
jestic program. Perc Pembroke in
"A Treacherous Rival” is featured,
and there is a Harry Sweet comedy
entitled “Sleepy Head.” The third
installment of the "Stanley in
Africa” serial which is drawing so
many to The Majestic will also be
shown on Sunday, continuing thru
Monday.
A thrilling two-reel western with
Lee Maloney as “Santa Fe Mack”
fn “84-12” is headlining The Majes-
tic bill Saturday. A Nick Carte*
story, “Black Mail,” is on the pro-
gram, another and the final episode
of the Eddie Polo serial is booked,
and there is a special comedy.
PRISCILLA DEAN IN
CROOK PLAY.
In "Pretty Smooth” which is
booked by the Isis for next Thurs-
day, Priscilla Dean has another of
those clever crook pictures which
won her fame and the opportunity
to do a real starring picture, “The
Virgin of Stamboul.” Priscilla gets
away with an “inside job” in a
manner which merits the title of
“Pretty Smooth” but thinks better
of it and reforms before the pic-
ture ends.
Jack Perrin in a two reel west-
ern, “Both Barrels” is also on the
Thursday program.
Latest Gish Comedy
Shown at Orpheum
Dorothy Gish in a new and un-
conventional role, is the chief at-
traction in “Little Miss Rebellion,”
which is the featured picture at the
Orpheum beginning next Sunday
through Wednesday. A host of
comedy situations liven the film,
including a session with a balky
mule, a baseball game in which a
I-oyal duchess plays with some Am-
erican doughboys, a jazz ball, a
quick lunch restaurant scenes and
a typical Gish climax.
As the duchess of Bulgravia,
Dorothy meets an American dough-
boy, loses her throne through Bol-
shevik revolutions, and escaping to
America gets a job in a quick lunch
restaurant where the once upon a
time doughboy, now in “cits” finds
her juggling flapjacks. Ralph
Graves is leading man.
