HiS MAJESTY’S. ALICE BRADY IN “THE HUNGRY HEART.” “Frou 'Frbu” was a sensational success of the Parisian stage, and its film version by the World' Film Corporation;* “The HiingrWHeart,” which was screened last night at His Majesty’s for the first time, is a splendid success)' 1 Thtf butstantling feature of the production is the acting of Alice Brady and Gerda Holmes as the two sisters, one a frivolous butterfly whom wifehood and motherhood cannot alter, and the other a righteous but tender-hearted slave to duty. The story is full of strongly emotional scenes, and Alice Brady is supremely good in the delineation of the agony of the wilful girl wife whose wrongdoing causes much irreparable'mischief to those ’'she loves.
