LIBERTY THEATRE.

A DOMESTIC COMEDY. Matrimonial squabbles form tlio basis of tho chief film at the Liberty theatre this week. "Men Are Like That" is well worth seeing. If there is too much pathos iti» the fault of the story; the acting is all that can be desired. Hal Skelly plays the part of J. Piper, a bumptious young man, whose extremely high opinion of himself is 'Sdeemc by his "gift of the gab." Dal Ske'ly is really funny, and his constant flow ol an guage, reminiscent of Leo Carrillo, a hyper-American in flavour, bewllders 'j,„,,„_ very soon after captivates the audience. Skelly is well supported by Doris Hill.■ Ji plays to perfection the part of the j rUß ' 6 young wife of tho opinionative liusuana. Showing on the same proxrammo is n melodramatic production, entitled i® night Express." This picture is half ta Kie and half . sound synchronised. _ ?hn Sequences predominate, and this B IVC ® action an old-fashioned tone. Nevertheless, it is impossible not to bo excited "y film, which deals with the doings of cro , rum-runners, damsels in distress, ana sir e, silent men. Antonio Moreno, of anc fame, always makes a good hero, a " a , though he plays the part of a crook picture, in the end he "goes straight, was the foregone conclusion, so tnai " . enabled to end up happily, with the danwl in distress in his arms. The damsel is played prettily by Helene Costello. A British film review, ■ preceding Ihc ma "i pictures, makes an acceptable feat^ e fll ., v Walter Lindrum, who demonstrates very tho way to achieve record breaks.
