CLEVER COMEDY TONIGHT
AND DOROTHY GISH WILL
BE AT EMPRESS SUNDAY
Enid’s last appearance tonight in
“Naughty, Naughty.” She may re
form before her next visit here, but
she won’t be any more attractive than
as Roberta in this bright, whimsical
little comedy.
Tomorrow another vivacious little
star, whom we have not s«en for
many weeks—Dorothy Gish, in “I’ll
Get Him Yet.” This is a galloping
comedy, just touched with the farcical
at times, but with a well-defined plot
and action—lots of it. To escape cer
tain taxes, Dorothy’s father deeds the
1 railroad to her. President in name,
! she soon shows them that she will be
president in truth. But the man she
' has decided to marry has prejudices
, against railroads and railroad presi
■ dents. Just how to catch her hus
f band and to keep him, also to keep
[ her railroad, is some big problem. It
i takes some tall maneuvering, and that
- is where the fun comes in. A good
little comedy drama, in which Dorothy
Gish appears to excellent advantage.
Pathe News and Mark Sennett two
- reel comedy, “Rip and Stitch, Tailors.”
