A Picture of Unusual Merit at
Grand on Monday
Tuesday.
There is certainly nothing synthe-
tic about the entertainment offfer-
ed in “Sythetic Sin,” Colleen Moore's
newest comedy, which will open on
Monday and Tuesday, at The Grand
Theatre.
On the contrary, it is decidedly or
the 100-proof variety, as the mirth of
a large audience clearly indicated at
different showing in the cities.
A clever story, an excellenl cast
and Colleen’s bubbling personality
have been woven into a picture that
ranks among the most humorously
entertaining films to be seen in
months. “Synthetic Sin” is a big tri-
umph for saucy Colleen as the star,
William T. Seiter as the director, and
Frederic and Fanny Hatton, authors
of the play which the picture was
derived from.
