Brand Jun Elvldg Why $0 many married people arc unhappy ia one of the Sphinx-like questions that never will be an swered to the complete satisfaction of everybody concerned. That many are straining and fretting under the more or less blissful yoke, cannot b: doubted. "Fine Feathers," chief cinema at traction at the Moon' theater this week, does not attempt to solve the question, but it uses the fact as a foundation for as fascinating a pic ture aa has ever been seen here. The plot revolves mainly around Bob Reynolds, a young construction engineer, who is living1 with his wife, Jane, in a dingy bungalow. Boh realizes that he must struggle hard to succeed, but the sight of his pretty, uncomplaining1 wife, whom he feels he should be providing with lincry, makes . him uneasy, and he ' succumbs to low act thatl gives him wealth.

"Footlights," (tarring Elsie Fergu son, at the Rialto theater , the first four days of this week, this develop ment is shown step by step. Lizzie Parsons, the American girl, . as played by Elsie Ferguson, took two years of complete isolation and hard study to accomplish this feat. Her entire life had to be changed. She had to surround herself with - Russian servants and teachers. In stead of simple American food, she had to acquire a taste for herrings. For coffee, she learned to drink tea, mixed with lemon and whisky, with- - out sugar, and she had to replace her after-dinner apple with cigarets. , The hardest sacrifice that she had to 1 make was when her little kitten ..was taken away as being too American and she was given a monkey, an animal that she loathed, to make a . pet fof. ' ' v But Lizzie Parsons succeeds," as only an American girl can succeed, in the transformation. Hsr sham is not discoveredeven by Russians. Elsie Ferguson, who is starring in the picture, brings to the role a keen interpretation. Reginald Denny is leading man and others in the cast include Marc MacDermott, and Oc tavia Handworth.
