“THREE LIVE GHOSTS.” Sparkling comedy and tende r to mance make the screen play of “Three Live Ghosts,” now at the lOpera House unusual entertainment. Featuring Richard Arlen, the story comes to the screen with a sweep and a breadth that were impossible on the stage. .In its earlier forms, the story was an international hit. first as a book, and then as a play, but the screen gives it a scope that was impossible in its earlier presentations. “Three Live Ghosts” is the story of three soldiers—an American, a Cockney and a titled' Englishman, goofy from shell-shock, who return from the war after imprisonment in a German eamp, to find themselves officially listed as “dead.” They decide to remain , hidden behind this official cloak of anonymity. Their adventures as theymove through London as living dead men without names or identity, provide moments of hilarious comedy, sprinkled with, romance and excitement. Besides Richard Arlen, the east includes Beryl Mercer, Claude Allister, Charles McNaughton, Cecilia Parker, Nydia Westman, Dudley Digges, Jonathan Hale, Lillian Cooper and Robert Greig. TO OUR GANG MEMBERS. Hullo Kids! Last Saturday morning I promised you that this week I would give you the biggest treat yet given to the Gang! Spanky and I have planned all the w’eek just what sort of a programme we would have and afte r a lot of thought we came to the conclusion that we could not put on a better programme than Tim McCoy in “Rusty Rides Again,” Our Gang in “Second Childhood” Laurel nnd Hardy in “Midnight Patrol,” a Coloured Musical Revue, a :Pcte Smith Novelty, and the last chapter of “Call of the Savage.” Then of course we simply must have our usual gift to members, and what could bo better than a slap of chocolate, which has the face of your favourite screen star stamped on it. Remember how you enjoyed the community singing last time. Well wha 4 say we try it again next Saturday. You just learn “Covered Waggon” and “TTome on The Range,” and we’ll see how it goes at the matinee. Well Kid's. T think that is about all for the present. I have lots more to tell you but that can wait, until T see you all on Saturday.—UNCLE TOM.
