DE LUXE PICTURES.

REGINALD DENNY’S LATEST COMEDY.

Reginald Denny’s stock is rising in the picture world with irresistible power. His personality is unique, his grin is contagious, his gift in comedy amounts to genius. In ‘‘The Cheerful Fraud,” now showing at the De Luxe, he is seen at his best.

COLLEEN MOORE ON WEDNESDAY.

Two feature films will be shown on Wednesday, the chief of which will be Colleen Moore in ‘‘Twinkletoes.” Gay Colleen is an ecstacy of youth in her greatest role of “Twink.” She was jearod in the roaring brutality of London’s Limehouse, but she danced her way into the hearts of the motley mob, and they left untouched her sweetness and brave daintiness. A clever comedy, with Topical News and Gazette are amongst the supports.

"OH! WHAT A NURSE!"

"Oh! What a comedy!"

Syd Chaplin proved in "Charley’s Aunt" and "The Man on the Box" that he knew how to get the laughs. But he gets as many in "Oh! What a Nurse!" as in the two other pictures together. Chaplin appears as a newspaper reporter, who dives from a ferryboat to rescue a girl, and gets picked up by a rum running tug, and who is forced into the costume of a bootleg queen in order to divert suspicion from the real culprit. Like any good newspaper man, the reporter, with an assignment to cover, does not pause even to change his clothes when he has a job to be attended to. The result is that, in the bootleg queen’s outfit, he runs into a maze of trouble, and, to get himself out of it, seizes a nurse’s costume. From then on, his adventures are indescribably comical. ' "Oh! ‘What a Nurse!” will be screened on Thursday and Friday.
