“THE OPENING NIGHT.”
There is one room in the home of E. Alyu Warren, who portrays the difficult role of the theatrical producer in Columbia Pictures’ “The Opening Night,” a Master Picture release which will be shown at the Majestic Theatre this evening, which no person except his seven-year-old son is allowed to enter. This room is Warren’s chemical laboratory, where he stews and boils strange mixtures. Occasionally queer odours penetrate the carefully guarded walls and escape to other parts of the house. Guests frequently seek the kitchen in search of burning food or look in the refrigerator to see if some forgotten leftover has spoiled. On such occasions visitors are informed that there is no need to be alarmed, it is only Alyn concocting a new varnish or painting oil. Sometimes a longing to possess a gas mask enters the mind of the smiling inquirer, but as such instruments of torture are not used in the best of society, they patiently bear the ills they have until proprietary allows them to make their departure.
