On-en Moore's latest SeLnlck jic-
ture "A Divorce of Convenience"
will be Been a the Cozy Theatre next

part of a wan afflicted with that
emotion of springtime which causes
the Tictini t0 act as if n!s brains
were scrambled und his every ay
judgment locked up in a safe to
which he had lost the combination.
Jim Blake (Owen Moore) is the
love-lorn swain. He lives in a New

venience." One of the principals in
this divorce is a beautiful Mexican
woman. Tula Moliana (Nlta Naldi)
who. unknown to Jim. is tha wife of
h!s beloved Helen's father. Just
when the lovely Tul.J fcns involved
Blake in an apparently comi.rom'iMr.g
situation Wakefield and HcUd arrive
and discover him. It tafcfs a lot of
hilarious fun to extricate all pf-rties

by Victor Heerman who directed Mr.
Moore's previous successes fend was
