AMUSEMENTS

EVERYBODY’S THEATRE. TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY* “WHERE’S SALLY” AND “BRIDES ARE LIKE THAT.” Gene Gerrard promises to bring- a big package of laughs to the' Princess Theatre to-night in his latest Warner Bros.

Off on a, honeymoon to a bad start, the hapless Jimmy finds his troubles only beginning but eventually triumphs, emerging unscathed from a welter of hilarious vicissitudes that would have downed a. lesser man.

Ross Alexander and Anita Louise play the featured roles as the young lovers. .....
