"LOVE MAKES 'EM WILD."
SOME AMAZING REVELATIONS. AT EVERYBODY'S, MONDAY. "Love Makes 'cm 'Wild," which is to be shown at Everybody's Theairo next week, is ono of the brightest efforts in the comedy field achieved for some time. The story concerns one, "Willy, who ia called in the office The Worm, for he was, for an American, remarkably unassertive and humble, worshipping from afar off the typiate, for whom he used to butter ths cakes for afternoon tea, and, in odd moments, untangling divers accounts, the honour for which goes to the unscrupulous villain of the drama. Then it is announced from the Yankee equivalent of Harley street, that Willy is to die. His heart, so it seems, 13 all wrong. Then the Worm turns. The heart trouble is' purely a result of the typiste and her sickly cakes. Love makes him wild. Ho rent 3 an apartment at the Eitz, ho stages dinners, dances, and merry suppers; tho office knows him no more; ho does tho most amizing things, things that no man in his senses would dream o£ doing. Ho makes ardent love to the typiate, he offers to fight the urbane villain, and gives backch&t to his erstwhile chiefs. Willy is all the time a fascinating cross between Don Juan, Jack Dempsey, and Reginald McKenna, for, in the end, when his heart withstands all manner of knocks, he successfully woos the typiate, polishes off the villain in exhilarating manner, and goes back as managing director to untangle accounts and call "sign please," and "forward one." Love made him wild all right; the picture, however, does not pursuo Willy and his wife into the realms of matrimony. John Hairon, as Willy, may rank himself with the screen's most engaging comedians Sally Phipp's, Natalie Kingston, and tho popular J. Fanell McDonald are others in the cast who help to swell the fun and complications. Dolores Costello and John Harron are the leading players in "The Little Irish Girl," a smart comedy .of wits, with more than its share of drama and melodrama, and the eternal thrills of the underworld. Mis.i Costello is charming in the title role, but away from tho eyes of the world, "down among the dead men," she i 3 transformed into the crook lady, and makes doubly interesting an already pleasant little play. Mr Albert Bidgood and his Select Orchestra will play the following musical programme: Overture, "Raymond" (Thomas); suites, "Two Irish Tons Sketches" (O'Donnell), "Sylvan Scenes" (Fletcher); symphonies, "The Italian" (Mendelssohn), "Tho Enchanted Forest" (D'lndy); selections, "Irish Melodies" (Myddloton), "Sullivan Melodies" j (Godfrey); entr'acte, "Senerata" (Bodga): fox trots, "Hello, Little Girl," "Birth of the Blues." Box plans are at The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved. . I
