STRAND THEATRE.

Most modern pictures end with a marriage ceremony, but In "The Night Bride," starring Marie Provost, which is being screened at the Strand Theatre the procedure Is reversed. Instead of ending with a wedding tho picture starts out with one. Tho heroine of tho story is not featured in the ceremony. Kather it is that just as the ceremony is about to begin, the bride discovers tho man she is to wed making love to her sister, who is one of tho bridesmaids. The story concerns Cynthia Stockton, who Is engaged to marry Addlson Walsh, but one day, in the course of a wild motor drive, she meets Stanloy Warrington, an author and woman-hater, and falls In love with him. Then, when on tho night of her marriage to Walsh, she finds him in tho arms of her sister, she la disgusted, and escapes from tho house, finally landing up at Warrlugton's, where she decides to spend tho night, thinking that the house is empty. When she is nicely tucked up In bed Warrington returns, and while he is porsuading her to go homo her father also appears on the scone. The humorous and thrilling complications which follow, and which eventually end In a wedding, makes this Metropolitan comedy one of the keenest, of all Provost starring vehicles, it is said. Harrison Ford again appears opposite tho star, with Franklin Pangborn, Robert Edcson, and other aim celebrities in the supporting roles. A wellvarlod supporting programme is also _ being screened, and appropriate music is supplied by the orchestra.
