TILE PICTURES. Getting a lady’s garter sounds rather risque, but it isn’t always that, at least not in “Getting Gertie’s Garter,” with Marie Prevust in the stellar role, at the Marton Town Hall this evening. But for laughs—frank, honest laughter—it would be hard to find a more effective medium than this rattling farce-comedy of woman’s wiles and man’s guile. It starts with a giggle and ends with a guffaw, and mischievous Marie and her mischief-mak-ing garter run rampant throughout the picture. The direction of E. Mason Hopper is excellent. CRICKET.
