ROLLICKING COMEDY.
Many sly jabs at the snobbish rich are taken in “Lady Tubbs” the rollicking Universal comedy playing at the Kings Theatre this evening, February 7 3th. with Alice" Brady starred and Douglas Montgomery and Anita Louise in the featured roles.
The wealthy Ash-Orcutts, of Long Island, violently object to the marriage of their manly son to the niece of a former cook at a railway construction camp, solely on account of the fact that the girl comes from the wrong side of the tracks and can boast of no ‘‘family connections.” but when the aunt inherits a fortune. and returns from England masquerading under the fictitious tills 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 i s 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 “snooty” host and hostess.
