KING’S THEATRE.

“THE TIME, THE PLACE, AND THE GIRL.”

Probably the last word in embarrassing moments for a wel;U-bred young man is that especial one when he hears an irate husband vigorously pounding the locked door of a room in which he believe he has heard the voices of the the young man and his wife. “Be nonchalant. Light a what-you-may-call-it,” says the cigarette ad. regarding situations like this—but Grant Withers, leading man. of “The Time, the Place and the Girl,” is without the prescribed brand of smokes when this situation occurs in Warner Bros.’ screen version of this comedy success, which is showing at the King’s Theatre to-night. Instead of lighting a cigarette he opens the door .as per the angry husband’s request, and the husband (John Davidson) doesn’t find his wife (Betty Compson) as he expected. Her place has suddenly been taken by a girl who risks her own good name to save the man she loves. Gertrude Olmstead plays the sacrificing girl and the remainder of the cast of this picture from the stage success includes James R. Kirkwood, Vivian Oakland, Gretchen Hartman, Irene Haisman, Bert Roach, Gerald King, and others. The vehicle is a gav comedy of collegiate life; the adventures of a football star turned bond salesman with a bevy of flirtatious wives. The delightful situations of the originol are to Ire found in the screen version of “The Time, the Place, and the Girl.”
