"LOVE MAKES 'EM WILD."
SOME AMAZING REVELATIONS. AT EVERYBODY'S, TO-DAY. "Lore Makes 'em Wild." which is to be shown &i Everybody's Theatre this week, is one of the brightest efforts in the comedy v.ild achieved for some time. The story concerto one, Wil'c, wiio is called in the office i The Worm, for ha was, for an American, reroaiki'''" unasseiiive and humble, worshippin" from a.'ar eff *&<> typiste, ior whom hs ° used to batter the cakes for afternoon tea, and, in odd moments, untangling divers accounts, the honour for which goes to the unscrupulous villain .of lue drama. Then it is announced from- the Yankee equivalent of Harley street, that Wiliv is to die. His heart, so it seems, is all wrong. Then the 'Worm turns. The •■ear* trouble is purely a result of the Ivpiste and her sickly cakes. Love makes him wild. He rents an apartment at the Ritz he stages dinners, dances, and merry •=upo'evs; the office knows him no more-; hj» 'does the mo3t nmizing things, things that no man in his senses would dream of 'doin<*. He makes ardent love to the tvr.iste, he offcts to fight the urbane villain, >n'd »ives backohat to hi 3 erstwhile chiefs. Willy" is all the time a fascinating cross between Don Juan, Jack Dempsey, and I Reginald McKenna, for, in the eno., when hi/heart withstands all manner of knocks, he successfully woos the typiste, polishes off the villain in exhilarating manner, and "oes back as managing director to untangle accounts and call "sign please," and ' forward one." Love made him wild all right; *,h* picture, however, does not pursue Willy and hi? wife into the realms of matrimony. John Harron, as Willy, may rank himself with the screen's most engaging comedians. Sallv Phipps, Xatelie Kingston, and the popular J. Farrell McDonald are others in tio cast who help to swell the lun and complications. Dolores Costello and John Harron are the !eadin» plavers in "The Little Irish Girl, a' smart comedy oi wits, with more than its sharo of drama and melodrama, and the eternal thrills of the underworld. Miss Costeilo is charming in the title role, but away from the eyes of the world, "down among the dead men," she is. transformed into the crook lady, and makes doubly interesting an already nleasant little play. Mr Albert Bidgood and his Select Orchestra willulay the following musical programme: Overture, "Raymond" (Thomas); suites, "Two Irish Tone Sketches" (O'Donnelll, '"Svlvan Scenes" '(Fletcher); symphonies, "The Italian" (Mendelssohn), "Tho Enchanted Forest" (Dlndy); selections "Irish Melodies" (Mvddleton), "Sullivan Melodies (Godfrev); 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.
