SHOULD LADIES

BEHAVE"

Lionel Barrymore At

The Queen's

A light comedy based on a story with somewhat difficult theme is the current, uttruction.

ut the Queen's, entitled "Should Ladres Bahave. It is the story of the love at three women for the same man. The unusual feature of this love, however,, is that of the three women, two happen to be mother and daughter, while the third is Asister of the mother."

A girl of nineteen, following a "tiff" with her lover, breaks off with him and falls for a man of the world of 42. She declares her intention of marrying him, despite che warning or her mother and father.

With youth on her side, she feels that she could go through with such a marriage and had even got so far as eloping with him, when a change comes over the scene. Anf incident in the story occurs just na Lihe lovers are trying to leave the "house" in the dark of night, and in that one incident, the girl dis- covers her true feelings for the somewhat aged lover.

Lionel Barrymore as the father of the heroine entertains tts with some very blunt observations in this picture, but it is left to Alice Brady, as the girl'a mother, to haring out some very witty re- partee. Conway Tearle has the role of the middle-aged lover while Katherine Alexander cuts a pretty picture as the young inexperienced girl.
