OPERA HOUSE. MATINEE TO-DAY. HARRY CAREY IN “THE SEVENTH BANDIT.” 1 Cbming to the Opera House to-day I (Saturday), Matinee and Night, a real Western thriller, “The Seventh Bandit,” starring Harry Carey. Don’t miss this romantic Western drama of high-powered Western action. SUNDAY NIGHT. PICTURE BENEFIT. A sparkling, delicately wrought farcical tale is “The Grand Duchess and the Waiter,” which is to be screened at the Sunday Night Picture Benefit in the Opera House. This is the Paramount film version | of the sensational French stage success by Alfred Savoir, which Pierre Collings adapted, and which Malcolm St Clair has produced with subtlety and sumptuousness. Adolphe Menjou and Florence Vidor arc the central characters in the funfilled story, which details the exploits of a rich Parisian Beau Brummel. who masquerades as a waiter in order to be near the outwardly haughty, inwardly 1 emotional, Grand Duchess, who has I caught his fancy. Inasmuch as the locale is Paris, there i are unusual opportunities for colour and picturesqueness in settings and background, and it is to the credit of Director St Clair that he has taken advantage of these opportunities and given the production a Parisian flavour and atmosphere. The entire picture was made with panchromatic film, which enhances its beauty and makes characters and settings strikingly life like. monday’only. RICHARD DIX IN “LET’S GET MARRIED.” Advance reports tells us that Richard Dix’s latest Paramount picture, “Let’s Get Married,” which arrives at the Opera-House Theatre on Monday, is good. They say it is a gay comedy that starts at sixty miles an hour and gets faster every foot. We are asked to imagine rollicking Richard as a wild young man, whose lovely fiancee threatens him with the gate if he gets into any more scrapes. Innocently, he is caught in a raid on a cabaret and sent to jail for thirty days. He tries, by means of letters, to convince her that he is selling hymn books to South Sea cannibals, and his tale almost works until —but then you better sec “Let’s Get Married.”
