PRODUCER
It's a perfect role for Menjou. He has the temperament, the air of blase sophistication, the finished type of acting necessary for it. It is one of his greatest efforts. 4721 feet standard length — on 5 reels

8144 Code SEGU Miss Bluebeard Paramount
Featuring Bebe Daniels, Raymond Griffith and Robert Frazer
An adaptation of Avery Hopwood's big Broadway comedy success.
The story is a love farce of a gay French actress who gets married and then discovers that she has not one husband, but two. The complications that pile up as a result of Colette's frolicsome adventures make hilarious entertainment. Ingenious entanglements race after one another at a furious speed, until, with a sudden surprising twist, the whole thing is straightened out in a happy ending.
Here is Bebe in the kind of a role that made the old Harold Lloyd comedies famous — Bebe in a story that couldn't have suited her better if it had been written especially for her. Raymond Griffith also appears in one of the finest comedy characterizations that you've seen for many a long day.
Complications ! Laughs ! The stage play was a riot in New York and crammed them in on a country-wide tour — and the picture is even better than the play.
To be sure, it is quite a little Frenchy ! Sophisticated ! Just enough so to keep you constantly wondering what is going to happen next and delighted with what does happen.

Maritana, a beautiful Spanish gypsy dancing girl, goes in search of Don Cesar de Bazan of whose prodigality she has heard much. She finds him at a banquet given by him to his friends and tells his fortune, which she predicts is one of evil.
Don Cesar distributes money among gypsies, one of whom steals his purse. When Maritana hears of this she battles with the thief, is badly wounded, but forcing the purse from him restores it to Don Cesar. The latter's creditors swoop down upon him and he flees.
The King's soldiers capture Maritana and in rescuing her, Don Cesar kills a captain, for which offense he is sentenced to death. Through the aid of a wily courtier, Don Cesar and Maritana are married en masque, the design being to have Don Cesar shot and his bride carried to the King who is enamored of her. Don Cesar is providentially saved by one of Maritana's supporters who substitutes bread pellets for the bullets in the guns of the firing squad.
Eventually the King's friendship for Don Cesar and his bride is won and all ends happily.
Tremendously dramatic and thrilling, a beautiful production, delightfully directed, with delicious comedy and romance in every scene. One of the few
