"THE MAGNIFICENT FLIRT."
FLORENCE VIDOR IN FRENCH FARCE. EVERYBODY'S, MONDAY. The quiet elegance of Florence Vidor, the suavities of Albert Conti, the freshness and enthusiasms of Loretta Young and Matty Kemp are to be seen in "The Magnificent FUrt," the leading picture to be screened at Everybody s Theatre next week. Also on the programme is • picture of frankly broad comedy proportions, "Homesick," with Sammy dohen and Marjorie Beebe in the leads. The Florence Vidor picture is of the same persuasion of those other quietly amusing and subtle romances, "The Grand Duchess and the Waiter," "The Marriage of Kitty," and numerous other fiinus. Miss Vidor plays Madame Laverne with grace and distinction; she is a quiet humonst, a clever woman, and Albert Conti out-Adoipnee Menjon as d'JSstranges. Loretta Young and Matty Kemp are a couple of youngsters who play their little parts carefully, and not without humour Summed up, "The Magnificent Flirt" ia a type of French farce, clever, witty, and impudent, that Beymour Hicks might level in. . The other picture, "Homesick,' is funny without subtlety. Sammy Cohen is again an unadulterated scream, ugly and clumsy and ingenious Marjorie Beebe, the co-star, is the funniest woman on the screen, the peer of Fazenda, Babe Daniels, and Constance Talmadge. In all, the programme at Everybody's Theatre next week ia a particularly good one. The box p'-ans are now open a The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved.
