“BROTHERLY LOVE” COMING TO EVERYBODY’S THEATRE NEXT WEEK.

George K. Arthur and Karl Bane in " Brotherly Love,” and Glenn Tryon in “ Lonesome,” reads like a pocket cinema “ Who’s Who.” These two attractive pictures will be presented at Everybody's Theatre next week. Barbara Kent plays with Tryon in “ Lonesome.” In this picture “ The Peanut Kid '* proves himself to be as good at the less farcical stuff as he is at straight com- 1 edv. For “ Lonesome ” is not all comedy. It is the story of a linotype operator and a telephone operator, not two very romantic beings, but who find ro- ' nance aplenty in New York’s unfriendly streets.. But even in sentimental circumstances Glenn Tryon cannot help but introduce his nimble wit, with the result that ’* Lonesome ” is a fascinating mix- : ture of every emotion, agreeably acted . and well presented. " Brotherly Love” is not nearly so subtle. Karl Bane is a warden in a prison. He has an enemy, the diminutive George K. Arthur, and . lie plots to have the latter cast into gaoL But when he effects his fell pur- ' pose he is very sorry, for the prison < governor has a daughter who is passing , fair, and the little prisoner and the ; pretty girl must needs go and fall in love. So it is time for the noisome war- '

den to do a little more oJotting. It is an airy and nonsensical mixture of delightful fun, served up in the best BaneArthur style, an excellent comedy, a splendid tonic for melancholia. Patrons are counselled to book their seats at The Bristol Piano Company for next week’s season. The box plans are now open.
