AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC

THE GRAND. “HUSBANDS AND LOVERS.” A COMEDY-DRAMA OF MARRIED LIFE. The comedy of domestic entanglements, a subject that has proved John M. Stahl’s forte, furnishes the plot for his latest picture, “Husbands and Lovers,” which is the coming attraction at the Grand Theatre. Supported by a programme of high standard and enhanced by a de luxe presentation, the picture will open to-day for a three days’ run. “ Husbands and Lovers” is not farce. It is humorous, extremely so, but it will also be very truo to life. The fun i comes from being in the position of I the “outside looking in.” To the mar- ; ried couple on the screen, the quarrels ; and misunderstandings that mar their j relations are not to be taken lightly. ! Far be it—especially when hubby’s! friend makes love to his wife and she I encourages him. There certainly is i nothing frivolous about that, and yet i the spectator, while appreciating the ; impending tragedy, will find much to i amuse him in the way it happens. A splendid cast is seen in the principal roles of “Husbands and Lovers.” Heading the list are Lewis S. Stone, Florence Vidor and Lew Cody, all individually brilliant stars with the added advantage of having parts exactly suited to their type and personality. The picture is a First National release presented by Louis B. Mayer. The supports include "Scenes in San Francisco,” "The Punch of The Irish.” a screaming farce comedy, and the Topical Budget. The plan for reserves is open at the Grand Theatre office. GARRISON BAND DANCE. Everything is in readiness for the I big popular Garrison Band dance to j be held in Harman's Hall this evening. | The ladies’ committee, in conjunction with the ladies associated with Hie , baud, have been working zealously to make th<*. function a most successful one. The Wanganui Grand Orchestra will supply the music and an excellent and dainty supper will be provided by the ladies associated with the Garrison Band Carnival, which is being held early in August.
