George Grossmith, than whom there is no better known player on the English stage, and who has many titers graced the American stage and screen, plays the part of the King.

Bonita Hime has the grace and carriage of a born. patrician. Her place on the English stage and screen is secure for many years to come. "Always adequate for the most exneting dramatic rule, she) plays the part of the Countess with skill and discernment.

Elizabeth Allan, in the flower of her beauty, plays the leading feminine rale opposite Leslie Ho- ward. She admirably portrays the type of wealthy English girl who could quite readily fall for "a pseudo Prince, and having once fallen, to stick with the man, when she found the joke was on her. As a beauty type, she fills the eye.

"Reserved for Ladies" which is now showing at the King's Theatro is satirical comedy. It's comedy that appeals to the imagination rather than the eye-the kind that i makes the mind laugh first, and then the diaphragm jiggle. It takes talent to put it over, and "Ne served for Ladies" has talent to s superlative degree. -
