Sidney Howard's Latest Success

The management of the Central Theatre have always been knows to study the taste of the public very keenly before, putting on any, picture, but they have been par- ticularly happy in their choice this last week when two roaring

British successes were put on con-

secutively. First of all we had Jack Hulbert in "Happy Ever After" and no mention need be made of this picture for it must still be fresh in the minds of those

who saw it while those who have not seen it yet no doubt will make it a point of doing so if the pic ture should happen to be given.a second run.

Marion Davies give the finest per formance of her entire career in the de- lightfut "Fog O' My Heart," which is to the Queen's Theatre on Sun day.

Never before, in this writer's view, has the vivacious star clothed a charac-

ter with such sincerity and sympathy.

The talking picture version of the play that has been acclaimed in the theatre for more than twenty years, has a freshness and sparkle all its own. There is not a lagging moment or a flaw in the simple clarity of its sweet- romance. It is just the kind of picture.people want to see these hectic and troubled days.

"It's Great To Be Alive," the new production from Fox starts Sunday next at the King's Thea- tre. It is reported as a rollocking romance, with one of the most unusual plots ever unfolded on the

The millions of womer" all over the globe, realizing that here is an alarming situation, set about to rectify it. What actually occurs is said to be the basis for more hilarity than has been seen in many a month.
