AMUSEMENTS.

« —_~ LIBERTY THEATRE. Hera is the glamour of romance, if, indeed, it is not the actual thing itself! "The Mississippi Gambler," the principal offering at the Liberty Theatre this week, measures up satisfyingly in respect of mo6t of those essentials -which go to the making of a story that breathes of the romantic. When the 6nal fade out ends the story leaves nothing to be desired as a work of art. The supports are excellent. Outstandinz in the Movietone Record is the final in the Davis Cup. In "lacquer and Pearls, the manner in which the Japanese ''cultivate" oysters to produce pearls is full of interest, "BROADWAY.** Broadwar is one of the most famous, thoroughfares in the -world. It is the great theatrical street of the New World, -where beauty and talent are everyday affaire, and where there is more hidden drama, staged in agents' offices, or in cheap boardinghouses crowding round it, than there is on the Broadway stage itself. The film "Broadway" will be presented at Liberty Theatre neit week. This picture, besides being of interest in that it really doe* give a real insight into the lives of the people who entertain the world, is also of interest in that it ia Glenn Trvon's first "talkie." Merna. Kennedy is his leading lady, and besides being an excellent little screen actreea, she can also dance and eirig. Evelyn Brent and Leslie Fenton are two other popular player* in the cast. Some of the songs are "Sing a Little Love Song," "Hitting the Ceiling," "Hot-Footing It," and "The Chicken or the Egg." All nxe tuneful, and more lasting than ths usual. Another feature that will be remembered about thia brilliant talkie ia the dancing of Glenn Tryon; i» i* at once clever and a comedy turn on its own. The box plans for "Broadway" open to-morrow at The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be -reserved.
