Leatrice Joy ind Raymond Griffith in the Paramount Picture
' Changing Husbands 8 Supervised by Cecil R DeMille
If it were not for the fact that we
are opposed to gambling in any
form whatsoever, we would be
tempted to wager one million Ger
man marks that, when "Changing
Husbands,” the new Paramount pic
ture, featuring the talented Leatrice
Joy, opens at the Modjeska theater
Monday for a three days’ run. every
woman from eighteen to eighty will
be Johnny-on-the-spot for the ini
tial showing.
There is something about the title
that strikes a responsive chord in
the feminine heart. It is safe to as
sume that every married woman
has at least once wanted to ex
change her “lord and master” for
something a little better in the hus
band line. As for the prospective
bride, the idea of learning a safe
and simple method for acquiring a
new “Romeo” in case the one she
now has does not come up to her
expectations, is bound to have a
powerful appeal. So there you are!
And if you think the men aren’t
going to sneak in to see what the
picture is all about, then you don't
know human nature!

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA,
Those of you who read the story

starts life in a New York depart
ment store—a regular girl, the kind
every one likes—with the average
girl’s dreams and longings. Just like
therest of us she wants money,
beautiful clothes, good times and of
course a Prince Charming. She has
youth, beauty—is clever and attrac
tive, and it doesn’t take her long to
get everything her heart desires.
Hut—there’s always a "but,” you
know—in the end she comes to the
bitter realization that she has lost
more than she has gained. And then
she wins for herself a great and
wonderful victory in a very start
ling manner. Her Prince Charming
turns out to be a poor, hard-work
ing mechanic, whose honest love
helps her in finding out what the
worth-while things in life really
are.
Tom Moore, lan Keith, Arthur
Houman, Lilyan Tashman and the
famous Ziegfeld stars, Ann Pen
nington and Brooke Johns, appear
in the supporting cast.
