"A HERO FOR A NIGHT."

AN UPROARIOUS COMEDY. EVERYBODY'S, MONDAY. Everybody's Theatro presents a most attractive programme of pictures next woek. In pride of place is the Glenn Tryon comedy, "A Hero for a Night," a picture, incidentally, as promising as its title. Glenn Tryon will be remembered for his first picture, "Painting the Town," a really original and amusing comedy, and he has followed it up with just as diverting a second in "A Hero for a Night." The Becond film will be "Alias the Lone Wolf," a sequel by Louis Joseph Vance, to "The Lone Wolf Returns." In the title role is Bert Lytoll, assisted by Lois Wilson. This is another of those policemethod dramas, connected this time with the secret service, a branch of international activity as romantic as it is thrilling. Readers of these series of books will recall that the Lone Wolf is now reformed, and ' 'Alias the Lone Wolf" >s a story of how he tricks his erstwhile companions at their own game. "AjHero for a Night" is in entirely different mood, farcical and wild and speedy from start to finish. In this age of records, and the breaking and lowering thereof, it is a mere bagatelle to make a sea hop of several thousand miles. The hero of the story is determined to marry a certain young woman, and to do so it seems wholly necessary to pilot her. papa to Paris. The young man sets out, as darkness falls, and, with papa, his daughter, his nurse, and his secretary, commences as hectic a night as Boccaccio himself ever thought up. The 'plane is forced down in the land of the gentle Bolshie, some miles out of its course,- and the Bolshie is not overfrieridly to capitalists with aeroplanes. The situation might reasonably be expected to be shot with much danger to the dollarloving Americans, but it is only a picture after all, and the most wild and uproarious comedy results. AH very funny, of itself, but Glenn Tryon makes it infinitely funnier, and is well backed up in everything he says and does to the proletariat by Patsy Ruth Miller, who is the young woman in the case. "A Hero for a Night" will long be remembered as one of the brightest comedies ever screened in the Oity.
