T find you here with my best friend!’ ’he cried dramatically, throwing open th,e door, and interrupting a spirited tete-a-tete between the hired co-respondent and —his uncle! ’Twas just one of the pre-arranged “compromising situations” that some meddling “Good Samaritan’ ’went and gummed. You ”11 laugh till you cry at Christopher Skinner (played by Harry Myers) in his futile pursuit of divorce evidence. If you miss this one you might as well give up seeing m-vies! There will also be showing again for the last time in conjunction with the above, the great fight picture, “Paulino v. Heeney.” FRIDAY ONLY—“THE MARRIAGE CLAUSE.’’ An unalloyed treat is in store for patrons of the Opera House on Friday night, when “The Marriage Clause.” a Universal-Jewel, makes its appearance. It is a story of the mysterious life back-stage. It concerns the career of Sylvia Jordan, an inexperienced girl who is given an opportunity by Barry Townsend, a famous stage director. As he develops her career, he finds that he is falling in love with her. Unknown to him she reciprocates his affection but he believes that her heart is given to Ravenal, the producer. Heist ar rises and Townsend descends lower iu the social scale. He begins to feel she needs him no longer. Sylvia’s big night arrives. She is unable to appear owing to the absence of Townsend, but Ravenal deceives her into thinking he is present. Stimulated, she makes her appearance and achieves an outstanding triumph. Unknown to both, Townsend is in the audience and his heart becomes bitter to think that she is able to make her success without him. From then on the story takes a most original twist. Billie Dove and Francis X. Bushman have the leading parts.
