THREE GREAT COMEDY STARS.
AT EVERYBODY'S NEXT WEEK. George K. Arthur and Karl Dane, in "Brotherly Love," and G'eiin Tryon in "Lonesome," reads like a pocket cinema "Who's Who." These two attractive pictures will be presented at. Everybody's Theatre next week. Barbara Kent plays with Tryon in "Lonesome." In this picture "The Peanut Kid" proves himself to be as good at the less farcical stuff as he 16 at straight comedy. For "Lonesome" is not all coined;.. It is the story of a lino operator and a telephone operator, not two very roruantie beings, but who find romance aplenty in Jiew York's unfriendly streets. But even in sentimental circumstances Glenn Tryon cannot help introducing his nimble wit., with the result that "Lonesome" is a fascinating mixture of every emotion, agreeably acted and well presented. "Brotherly Love" is not nearly so subtle. Karl Dane is a warden in a prison; he has an enemy, the diminutive George K. Arthur, and he plots to have the latter cast into gaol. But when he effects his fell purpose he is very sorry, for the prison governor has a daughter who is passing fair, and the little prisoner and the pretty girl must needs go and fall in love. So it is time for the noisome warden to do a little more plotting. It i 3 an airy and nonsensical mixture of delightful fun, served up in the best Dane-Arthur style, an excellent comedy, a splendid tonic for melancholia. Palrous are counselled to book their seats at The Bristol Piano Company for text week's season. The box plans are now open.
