GLENN TYRON IN "THE KID'S CLEVER."

« TROUBLESOME WIVES." EVERYBODY'S, MONDAY. Twq very attractive comedies are to be presented at Everybody's Theatre next week. Heading the biU i» "The Kid's Clever," in which Glenn Tryon plays the clever Kid, and tha second picture is "Troublesome Wives," very neat, keen, piquant comedy in which Mabel Poultou and Lilian Oldland play tha wives, and Bransbury Williams and Hoy Kussoll are the two young husbands.
