AMUSEMENTS.

THE CRY OP THE MODERNS. "NO PLACE TO GO." LIBERTY THEATRE, MONDAY. . When Broadway is full of shows, and Coney Island is full of fun, when Newport and Palm Beach are overflowing with luxury and Cathedral square is likewise overflowing with people looking at the Memorial Column, the moderns will still erv that they have no place to go. The characters in the starring picture at Libertv Theatre next week solved their theorem admirably, by simply steaming in a palatial yacht to the South Seas, where perfume-laden breezes, brown hnla6, and blue skies make time move slowly, and sought romance and something different there. Did they find it! Did they find Utopia! "No Place to Go" is the title of the picture in question, in which Lloyd Hughes, Hallam Cooley, Mary Astor, and Virginia Lee Corbin play the four young things who strive valiantly after some will-o'-the-wisp, and the disillusionment makes interesting film "reading." Hallam Cooley will be chiefly remembered for a deliciou* bit of comedy acting in Colleen Moore s "Naughty But Nice," in a sequence wherein travelling trunks and a gentleman's trousers figure prominently; in "No Place to Go he invests his part with uproar, not humour; and contributes in a large measure to the undoubted success of the picture. It is a comedy-drama, nothing very thoughtful about it, the story of an incurably romantic girl who simply had to be cured by her practical lover, and the curing constitutes the plot, the development, and the climax, it is necessarily amusing, a little of the good old caveman stuff that they really like, aid. to pacify them, a da6h of moonlight and roses, jußt to let them think they are getting it all their own way. Mary Astor is gdod as the romantic one, Lloyd Hughes is better as her mentor in the ways of real life, while Hallam Cooley is best as Ambrose Munn, only he is funnier even than nis name.

The supporting feature is the thrilling comedy of high, life, "Broadway Billy," in which Billy Sullivan and Virginia Browne Faire play the leads. Billy Sullivan in u nephew of the great John L. himself, and he scraps hie way through the story in a manner worthy of his name and pedigree. The Concert Orchestra, under Mr Enest Jamieson, will play the following musical programme: Overture, "Bunyanthe" (Weber), "The Bronze Horse" (Auber), "Rieuzi"' (Wagner), "Symphony" (Hadyn), "Gems from Sullivan" (Higgs), "Rose Mario" (Friml), "Just Like a Butterfly," "Shanghai Dream Man." Box plans are at Tho Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved.
