TWO COMEDY FILMS.
NATIONAL-PRINCE EDWARD FARE. Clowning their way from China and Alaska, missing sheriffs by inches, getting out of "five-ace-" gambling dens by-the skin of their teeth, W. C. Fields and Alison- Skipworth arrive at San Francisco in time to pit their rascally wits against the even more sinister machinations of a " crooked" attorney in their jiew farce, " Tillie and Gus," which is one of the two new comedy attractions to be screened at the National and Prince Edward theatres jointly to-morrow. Baby Leßoy, Hollywood s sensational infant 6tar, lias a first class role as "The King" in the film. He is said to be even more entertaining than lie was in " A Bedtime Story," " TorchSinger," and "Miss Fane's Baby Is Stolen." Jacqueline Wells plays tlie romantic role in the film, opposite Clifford Jones. The other picture offering to-morrow at the National and Prince Edward is an English comedy-drama entitled " A Passport to Paris," and starring the two popular ex-Hollywood stars Sally Eilers and Ben Lyon. With plenty of romance and laughter, it is a breezy, adventurous story of the Secret Service.
