LIBERTY THEATRE.

Biblical stories reproduced on the screen with their modern application bavo resulted in criticism from certain quarters 'where- such' action is termed a travesty of good taste. Certainly "Noah's Ark," at tho Liberty Theatre this week, should not merit any such criticism, as tho Bcreen invests tho age-old story with all its tearfulness and holiness, while it draws a moral and applies it to tho conditions leading up to 1914—"the worship of Mammon brings nothing but ill ultimately to the worshipper." Tho acting in all the leading roles in very good, and Dolores Costello and Georgo O'Brien, as the featured players, are tremondous successes. Noah Beery and Louisa Fazcnda aro included in the array of wellknown actors in support of them.

"ONE HYSTERICAL NIGHT."

Those who will bo visiting Liberty Theatro n«fc week will have a splendid opportunity of seeing and hearing ono of the brightest screen comedies the populaT comedian, Reginald - Denny, ever made. "One Hysterical Night" is the title of this comedy of a rich young man. When Reginald appears at a fancy dress party dressed a« Napoleon, and when, Mies Nora, Lane is perßuadcd to appear .as Josephine, and eomebody clso puts in a belligerent appearance as tho Duke of Wellington looking for a fight, the whole speedily • devolves into one of those farcical - but hugely funny pictures that ono expects from Denny. "One Hysterical Night" is an all-talking picture. The comedy moves at a breakneck pace, ending breathlessly with a grand climax. Also on next week's programme at Liberty is "Courting Wildcats," an all-talking comedy of tho western country, with Hoot Gibson in the lead. Tho box plans aro now open at Tho Bristol Piano Company.
