STRAND THEATRE.
.."Her. Big Night,", with Laura LaPlante as the star, and an unusually large cast playing in support of her, is tho feature which commenced to-day at the Strand Theatre. The picture is a farce: comedy, produced by Universal Pictures Corporation. The story, based on Peggy Gaddis's "Doubling for Daphne," deals in a way with the movie industry, and is concerned mainly with the somewhat embarrassing failure of a movie star to show up for a personal appearance in connection with the premier of her latest picture. In the efforts of the star's producer and Press agent to cover up her indiscreet appearance in order to keep the matter out' of the newspapers, a dozen involved comedy situations arise. Dorothy Devore and: Matt Moore are the two popular screen players in "How Baxter Butted In," the second feature. The role that Matt Moore portrays is one ideally suited to his whimsical, unconsciously comic personality. There are good supports.
