AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT “THE AIAN IN POSSESSION.” Robert Afontgomery turns butler in “The Alan in Possession,” to be screened to-night, Saturday’s matinee and evening. In his new vehicle the young star appears as the hero of a delightful masquerade, impersonating an English butler to accommodate a dashing young widow-in-distress. In fac.ts he goes a bit farther as the story unfolds, also taking the place of her absent lover. Afontgomery is smilingly at ease in even the most disastrous moments of his masquerade and offers perhaps the most engaging performance of his young career. He is entirely personable and not at all incongruous in the farcical role. Charlotte Greenwood tops the supporting cast as the maid-of-all-work, who becomes a. comniittee-of-one to watch the new butler’s antics with profound suspicion, which is more than justified when she discovers his familiarity with the mistress’ boudoir. Included, in the’ sterling cast are Irene Purcell, C. Aubrey Smith, Beryl Mercer, Reginald Owen and Alan Alow. I bray, all ideally cast. I The next chapter of the new serial will also be screened at Saturday’s matinee. SUNDAY NIGHT. “TANNED LEGS.” AN ALL-TALKING PROGRAMME. PROCEEDS TO UNEMPT OYMENT. An all-talking programme, headed with “Tanned Legs,” will b.> screened at the Opera House on Sunday night. The proceeds will be devoted to the Mayor’s Unemployment Fund.
