“ GIRL SHY -” TO-MORROW.

HAROLD LLOYD AT THE GRAND. Harold Lloyd’s latest and greatest comedy, “ Girl Shy,” will be presented at the Grand Theatre, commencing at the matinee, to-morrow. It is the story of a bashful boy, t and one can readily conceive what a suitable vehicle this is for the great comedian to expound his knowledge of girls, generally and in particular. He is bashful, and dreams that he is brave and bold: he is shy of girls, and longs to master them; he makes a study of girls, and fears them. Every girl who speaks to him strikes him dumb; every girl who comes near him scares him silly. 11 is one. desire is to be a Romeo, only he is afraid. He ultimately ..masters his shy-

ness, and then the fun is fast and furious. “ Girl Shy ” has all the dramatic and heart interest of “ Grandma’s Boy,” all the thrills of “ Safety First,” and more laughs than any comedy Lloyd has appeared in yet. Harold Lloyd once more demonstrates his remarkable versatility, and in this, his latest comedy, he is entirely different, introducing some original novelties in the way of comedy that are screamingly funny. “ Girl Shy ” will be presented at the Grand Theatre for a brief season only. The box plans are now open at The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved. There will be two sessions daily, and the evening session will commence at seven.
