AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. “ GET YOUR MAN” FRIDAY. How to free the man one loves from a loveless betrothal of seventeen years standing is shown in “ Get Your Man,” Paramount’s latest starring vehicle for Clara Bow, which will be shown at the Princess Theatre on Friday. In the picture, Clara is a young American girl who lias fallen, in love with a French youth, Charles Rogers, who was engaged to another girl when five years of age, under the French custom in which parents choose the mates of their children. The efforts of Miss Bow to cause the breaking of this engagement, supply many of the clever situations with which the picture abounds. The plot carries one into a wax-works museum, where the boy and girl fail to exit at the closing hour, and are forced to spend the night together in a room surrounded by mechanical figures which walk, wave their arms, roll their eyes, brandish swords, and even execute .murders. The girl, who was universally accredited with being the outstanding possessor of' “ It,” (following her huge success in Elinor Glyn’s story of the same name, is said to have as great a role in “ Get Your Man ” as was given her m “It,” “Rough House Rosie,” or “ Hula,” her three previous starring vehicles. Miss Bow is surrounded by a capable cast, including* besides Rogers, who last appeared with her in,“ Wings,” Josef Swickard, Josephine Dunn and Harvey Clarke. The picture was directed by. Dorothy Arzner, one of the few women directors in the motion picture industry. A topical, comedy and further chapters of the serial will also be shown. Selections by the orchestra.
