Marriage at First Sight Supplants Love Symptons "Love at first sight has been sup- planted by marriage at first sight." So says Agnes Ayres, Paramount actress who is featured with Antonio Moreno in Sam Woods "Bluff." "In the old days," said Miss Ayres, "couples who confessed falling in love with their mates at first sight were an inspiration for much gossip. "But I find today that marriages between young people who have not seen each other more than four or five times are becoming common. I get my statistics on the subject from an Ohio divorce court judge. At a dinner party at my home when he was visiting here recently, the judge exhibited a table of figures which in- dicated that 29 out of every 100 di- vorce cases are filed by men and women who jumped into marriage with less than 30 days courtship." In "Bluff," as Betty Hallowell, Miss Ayres enjoys a fast romance, herself. New York refuses to recog- nize her genius in gown designing. So Betty hits upon the idea of im- personating Nina Loring, a missing English beauty whom she greatly re- sembles. Continuing her bluff, Betty moves from her poor home in New York's "roaring Forties" and establishes herself in the most exquisite salon in the Palace hotel. Modistes clamor for her sketches at $1,000 each where- as two weeks before they wouldn't take time to look at them. The name, Nina Loring, and bluff were respons- ible. Then Robert Fitzmaurice turns up. In England he had loved the real Nina Loring. Seeing Betty ,and be- -> Nuit. 4 Nn \ ND SN N PARENTS ATTENTION!

And with vigor. Poor Betty falls in love with Fitzie. Love's old story, the sweetest ever told, enwraps them both, until police arrest her. They take her to jail as Nina Loring who now is charged with absconding with Red Cross funds. How Betty squares herself with the law and wins back the love of Fitz- 'maurice forms an absorbing story.
