Pretty Enid Bennett tilts from the
. sublime to the ridiculous—at least in'
the titles of her photoplays—as ea \lly
as you or I flit from home to omce
F01 her latest Paramount picture now‘
showing at the Palace has been called
"Naughty. Naughty!” while the pieced-
ing offering was entitled “The Keys of
the Righteous."
. There is something in a. name, too,
in both cases, and “Naughty. Naugh.
ty!" is quite as intriguing as the name
indicates—although not the comic
opera sort of thing one might expect.
The story which was written for Miss
Bennett by C. Gardner iSullivan, opens
with the return of Pretty Roberta Mil
ler to her small town home in the Mid
die West. '
Now there is nothing particularly
remarkable abou. that—the remark-
olble thing is the effect the‘ trip had
had upon the heroine. She had left a
.quaint ginghamed youngster and had
returned a smartly gowned. verv so-
' phisticated young person with thré\

dloberta. much bored at the too-even
tenor of her way in Lillyville, decided
to reform the town to conform with
her own‘wmhes rather than reform
herself to conform to the town’s wish
.cs. And thereby hangs the tale. A
certain young man, her sweetheart and
the editor of the local news sheet. was
one of the strictest of the strict in the
community, and Roberta's efforts to
rémodel him are screamingly funny.
Of course she succeeds and not only
