" NEW YORK IDEA.”

CORONET THEATRE'S WITTY SATIRE.

Leavened by a happy sense of humour and sharpened by a keen 110 note of satire, “The New York Idea" comes to the Coronet Theatre this 20 evening the clever film version of a clever stage comedy. Taking modera 20 society divorce as the subject for its

mordant wi this entertaining 90 photoplay gives Alice Brady a fine role as the young wife (frivolous but really in love with her husband) who is misled by the New York idea- 30marry for whim and leave the rest to Fate and the divorce court. She soon finds that a little evidence" (even if it is only manufactured to secure a 20"quiet" divorce) is a dangerous thing and finds it harder to extricate herself from the tangle which results from har

90 unfounded jealousy. Introducing 20 several engaging characters and a number of amusing situations, The 180 New York Idea" is a subcessful 30 play, au excellent film comedy.
