"Straight is the way,” the latest Paramount-Cosmopolitan picture which will be on-view at the Colonial Theatre for three days beginning next Wednes day, is taken from Ethel Watts Mum ford’s fanjous short story, “The Mani festation of Henry Ort,” the scenario being prepared by Frances Marion. It is a satirical comedy drama revolving around a ouija board and marks a dis tinct departure for Director Vignola, wise has identified himself in the past almost exclusively with serious sub jects. A bit of “inside” information is the fact that the production of this picture was in the nature of a labor of love with Vignola, who decided he must do this, story immediately he read it. What attracted him particularly were the unusually brilliant shafts of satire, the rare situations, and the delightful ly human characteristizations. A cast of unusual merit was chosen ■ and includes such well known players as Matt Moore, George Parsons, Gladys Leslie, Mabel Bert, Van Dyke Brooks, and Henry Sedley. r\ .ENTERTAINED RED MEN. { -Navajo Tribe of Red Men entertain ed representatives of all the tribes in the immediate neighborhood on the oc casion of the monthly session of the .
