LIBERTY THEATRE.
A REGINALD DENNY COMEDY. Next week't change of programme at Liberty Theatre features two full-length pictures, the principal film being the Reginald Denny comedy, "One Hysterical Night." The story was written by Denny himself, and is one of the most consistently amusing things he has ever done. Tho story is of a young man with a horde of disagreeable relations who want him committed to a mental hospital so that they may comfortably enjoy his wealth. To this end they persuade him to appear at a fancy dress party dressed as Napoleon, and when he starts strutting about it is the signal for the unpleasant relations to spread the rumour that the nephew Is quite so-and-so. It iB well-named, "One Hysterical Night," a 12 hours packed full of thrilling, humorous, and, at the end, romantic episodes. Nora Lane beads the supporting cast. _ The second picture is Courting wildcats," in which Hoot Gibson, the western cowboy star, is seen and heard in a modern comedy that is perilously like The Taming of -the Shrew." It is one of G;bson s best pictures, for he ' is as good in straight comedy as he is in outdoor dramas. The supporting picture is a gazette of recent events in speech and sound. The box plans are at The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved.
