AMUSEMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE. WEDNESDAY — “SWEET DADDIES.” Few, if any, comedy themes are more popular than that which lends itself to the brand of hilarity that results on the wordy war between Irishman and Jew. Such a theme is featured in First National’s conledy attraction, “Sweet Daddies,” which, with commendable enterprise, the .management of fhe Opera House has secured for screening as early as Wednesday next, Matinee and night. Especially welcome is the picture when one finds Charlie Murray cast in the Irishman’s role, and George Sidney and Vera Gordon there to maintain Jewish pride. “Sweet Daddies” provides a really compelling romance as well as the highly acceptable comedy episodes, Jack Mulhall and Jobyna Ralston portraying the lovers’s’ parts with characteristic sincerity. After many humorous situations are unwound, the respective “daddies” enter a partnership, which entails the delivery of a consignment, of “moonshine” liquor. It is then that the real fun begins, each blaming the other when things go wrong. “Sweet Daddies” should furnish a particularly refreshing change from the usual.

THURSDAY ONLY — “MONTE CARLO.” The insistent demand of picture audiences for fast-moving comedies, with plausible stories and natural situations, is adequately met by the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film “Monte Carlo,” coming to the Opera House on Thursday, supported by Zazu Pitts, Roy D’Arcy, Karl Dane and Trixie Friganza. The story revolves around | the adventures of throe small town girls who win d newspaper popularity contest, entitling them to a long holiday in Monte Carlo. Once the action is transferred overseas the film becomes a brilliant satire upon a certain type of tourist. Lew Cody, is presented as a comedian, and his superb performance confirms the judgment of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and with Miss a charming and accomplished player, gains the utmost from the far- - ci cal situations abounding through the J

film. It was directed in masterly fashion by Christy Cabanne. M. 8.0.8. DANCE.
