One of its most entertaining passages is her depiction of the evéryday ace tions of a husband 'after romantic ardor has cooled. In the story, Miss La Plante goes to Paris, to study her art-and is fascinated by her romantic "foreign model, who impersonates both an apache and a nobleman--and turns out to be neither. Her deserted bus band comes to Paris with another girl, whom he intends to marry as soon as the divorce is granted, All the principals are "penned up in one place by a heavy rainstorn, and events of a highly ludicrous and unexpected nature pilé up thick and fast. Miss La Plante has never been seen to better advantage than in "Hold Your Man." Her leading man is Walter Scott, a newcomer to the screen for whom a highly sueccessiu carcer is predicted. Scott has already made a name for himself in st and. musical comedy, The cast also includes Eugene Borden and Mildred Van Dorn. "Hold Your Man" was written by Maxine Alton, the screen adaptation being handled by Harold Shumate. Emmett Flynn, who caused a world sensation with his pictarization of "A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court," directed. ; SUDBURY REFUSES TO FINISH GAME | ~-With the score 3-1 against them the Sudbury Cubs skated off the ice at the local arena last night af- ter six minutes had elapsed in the final period of their N.O.H.A, jun- jor game with the Greyhounds.
