ROLLICKING COMEDY.

Many sly jabs at the snobbish rich are taken in “Lady Tubbs" the rollicking Universal comedy playing at the King’s Theatre on Thursday, February 13th. with Alice Brady starred and Douglas Montgomery and Anita Louise in the featured roll's. The wealthy Ash-Orcutts, of Long Island, violently object to the marriage of their manly son to the niece ol a former Cook at a railway con-

striiction camp, solely on account of the fact that the girl comes front the wrong side of the tracks and can boast of no “iarnjly connections. ’ But when the aunt inherits a fortune and returns from England masquerading under tlie fictitious title oi “Lady Tubbs,’’ the obsequious Ash-Orcutts receive the supposed noblewoman and her niece with open arms and entertain them lavishly. Miss Brady, as the cook now turned lady, is still not satisfied however, and with, the aid of a contemptuous neighbour succeeds in dragging from, the closets of the luxurious Long Island mansion a pair of skeletons which the socialities had previously kept from, each other. The climax of the story brings a succession of laughable situations, and revelations which prove very, very embarrassing to her “sndoty” host and hostess.
