“ Blarney Stone ” in Second Week at Civic. At all times Tom Walls is popular, but it is doubtful if he has ever before received such uanimous praise as for his work in the British and Dominions attraction, “The Blarney Stone.” now showing at the Civic Theatre. This brilliant comedy-drama began its second week to-day. Unlike many pictures in which the popular English star has previously appeared, “The Blarney Stone” is not all comedy. There is romance, drama and pathos in the story and Tom Walls shows convincingly that his reputation does not hang on his laugh-producing powers alone. As Tim Fitzgerald, an Irish landowner. Walls is called upon to adopt an Irish brogue which he does in such a . delightful manner that make’s his witticisms doubly acceptable to the ear of the picture-goer. Supporting him is Anne Grey (last seen in “Leap Year”) whose performance as Lady Breethorpe is perfect. The action s set in an Irish district not twenty niilfr from Cork, and in London. Four excellent supports precede the main feature. Box plans are open at the theatre, where seats may be reserved at no extra cost.
