dreams. And there la the love of a
man for a woman. Then three have •
been woven into a story which
moves with the calm, inevitable,
■weep of the aoa itself. The first
half is slow, serene. Then it busts
kite a storm of drama. 1

‘Dancing Mothers’
Starting Monday
Have you any idea what’s going
on around you? What do you know
about your neighbors? Are they
happy? Do you ever stop to think
that in this treat throbbing exist-
ence of oure that we call “lite"
drama is being enacted daily by

Lady Client: I don't know whether
I like these photos or not They

players who have never had any
ideas about going on the stage?
For instance, in New York et.
just laat year, something happened
which was known to only a few per-
sons. Now—the news has come out
Meat likely, you have never even
heard of the Hugh Westcourts. They
are a wealthy couple whose mar
riage seems, to have gone on the
rocks. Hugh and Ethel had one
daughter, a crazy, jaar-mad flapper,
who liked to hit the bright Mights
And her rattler had somewhat the
sane tendencies himself. ....
According to the story which is
told, one night, while dancing with
Mr youthful fiance, Kenneth Cobb
Kittens started to flirt with Jerry
Naughton, an understanding bache-
lor. Of course, Kenneth became Ir-
ritated, and the more he showed his
annoyance, the more she continued
Finally the evening was over, but
not the flirtation.
In despair, Kenneth appealed to
Mrs. Westcourt for help, and ahe set
out to put a crimp in this unknown’s
naughty line. But on meeting him
she, too, fell deeply in love, and he
with her. So, aa they cay la the fe-
ble, • “wasn’t that a pretty dish to
set before the king? . .
What happened then? Md the
daughter just resign or did ahe etay
to contest her mother? How did
the father take it? Did he try to
bring his family together?
Those are some of the things
which audiences at the Strand
Theater will find out Monday, when
“Dancing Mothers," a new Para-
mount picture, opens.
Conway Tearle, Alice Joyce and
Clara Bow are co-starred ae the
bachelor, the mother and the daugh-
