DOMESTIC COMPLICATIONS

AMUSING INCIDENTS IN 'NICE WOMEN 1

Many amusing domestic complications enliven the story of ‘ Nice Women,’ the Universal comedy-drama which will begin at the Octagon on Friday. „ , . Principal ingredients of this very interesting screen play are a young girl who is desperately in love with a penniless clerk; the clerk, who reciprocates her affection; a wealthy bachelor, ignorant of this situation, who wishes to marry the girl; a designing mother, intent on the same thing; a younger sister, wise in the ways of love, who brings about a number of surprising developments; and a siren who for eight years has been the intimate companion of the bachelor. The conflicting interests ot these people, and their consequent actions, go to make of 1 Nice Women ’ a screen play which is at times filled with terse drama, and at other times with comedy of the most delightful description. The story is a swift succession of “ situations ” which keep the interest of the audience at a high pitch. t Sidney Fox as the sophisticated younger sister, plays the leading role, and does it in a manner which will add new laurels to those already gamed by the captivating little miss. She is perhaps the screen’s outstanding player of lio-ht comedy among the younger generation, and her work is a positive Dee is altogether lovely as the older sister, and the excellence of her performance is matched by that ot Alan Mowbray as the wealthy bachelor. Others who do good work are Russell Gleason, Carmel Myers, and Lucille Webster Gleason. . . . A stirring film depicting the heroic efforts of firemen is ‘The fourth Alarm,’ which will also be shown on the same programme.
