ANNEXING BILL.
Annexing Bill" is a fine-flavored light comedy of the roman- tic type and winsome Gladys Hulette and her co-star, Creighton Hale, have the most pleasing an 1 altogether delightful picture-play of their respective screen careers in Elgar Frouklin's cleverly written play.
In the first place, Eail Barwell is an art student with no money. Billy is in love with her. He is a young lawyer just starting on what promises to be a splendid career. Then a ship founders, and it is reported that a maiden aunt of Enid's is lost. Enid is her sole heiress and is notifel that a million dollars awaits her. And Billy firuly declares he will not marry her.
Enid is very much in love with Billy and the mere matter of a million dollars standing between her and happiness is promptly isposed of. She plans to had over her now fortune to a friend's husband, who is notoriously unsuccessful in investments. The transfer of the money is just about to be consummate when lo there appears upon the scene the aunt who was believed to have
been drowned.
It seems that all is well now with the young lovers when it is suddenly discovered that the psuedo aunt is really an imposter and that Eaid is really in possession of the million dollars after all.
How the tangle is straightened out and true love comes into its owa is ingeniously depictel in the concluding chapters of "Anuex- ing Bill.'
