“HOLD YOUR MAN” FOR THE LIBERTY THEATRE.

At: Liberty Theatre next week Laura La Plante, one of the brightest stars in the Hollywood constellation, will be seen and heard in the all-talking comedy drama, “Hold Your Man,” a piquant and thoroughly droll comedy about how a young husband taught his wife a lesson, and of how she promptly turned round and taught him one. The talking screen abounds in plots and plays of just such a type, light and amusing stories that never fail in their appeal, clever plots that show human beings behaving in the remarkable manner of their species, stories that alternate between comedy, romance and frank melodrama, “Hoi 3 Your Man” is extremely worldly-wise and, what is better still, woman-wise; the author of this bright play seems to be informed of all that goes on in the wily wifely brain, or thinks lie is, which is just the same, and as a result we have a little domestic drama that is a gem of its kind. The second picture is “Melody Lane,” in which Eddie Leonard, often described in America as the last of the troubadours, has a singing role, an emotional role, of a “Singing Fool” tone. Jane La Verna, the child actress, Josephine Dunn aiul JJuntly Gordon are other well-known players who all speak and act well. Tho box plans for the season open at The Bristol Piano Company on Thursday.
