The star, who is usually tssociatcd with heavy dramatic roles, is ust as capable and pleasing in the lighter ■ein of comedy (hat this picture attorns lint. The play is a rich satire on the teeing of jealousy that usually exists between mall country villages and Ihe centres, tne orrner looking upon the latter as holbeos if vice, and dubbing any visitor from the ities as dyed-in-the-wool villains. Monague, as the city chap, is prc-enteil Wnh t bad name for no apparent reason, and ins much trouble in living up to it. Uouped with the above is a comedy, “Damo.md Dcnti-ts,” and the Ganmont Graphic, 'or Saturday the great English production. ‘The Romany Lass’’ has been seeured as hc chief attraction.
