"SWEETHEARTS AN I* WIVES" .. Only, very. seldom "does such an outstanding 'programme come to the screen .'as that which will open on Monday at Everybody's. Titer* are two big pictures, "Sweethearts and Wives" and "Courage," and each is a complete evening's entertainment in itself. Once Main Bill!* Dvvo scores a triumph In "sweethearts and Wives." It is-said to. be one of the .most eompletely satisfying slid entertaining films.,seen for many a long day.' It represents that very difficult combination of fun and mystery which so Many producers' have striven to attain, and so rarely with-suecess. But ''Sweethearts and. Wives" does It in* s new way. . t " There »re novel tuns in'the plot and characterisation, . and—-a highly : important point—there Is a uniformly excellent cast. Billle' Dove: could make a -whole picture by herself, but* besides the beautiful star there is Olive Broolc in one of the most faultless P6rfon&ftßcss -of - his career* togethe* wjtii Leila Hysms.. m The extent to which a. mother will light to protect he* children is dramatically and vpgo&riously depicted in tho second big film, "Courage," Belle Bennett, who enacts thn mother'in this story of a modern family, is compiled not only to battle against financial* difficulties but" against a sefcerpiß* relative, "who attempts to alienate her children. Her merry yrar for her seven children makes very pleasant entertainment.
