EVERYBODYS PICTURE 3. “HER TKAIROBAHY HUSBAND.” .MONDAY. A picture pl;iy with a laugh in every foot ul him is to lie the offering at the Princess Theatre next .Monday. It is ‘'Her Tomjiorniy Husband,” a. farce comedy, based on Sidney Paulton’s famous stage success of the .same title, without doubt the greatest comedy of its kind ever produced. .Made on the same extensive scale as a” picture of the more serious side of life, this First National farce comedy is something more than a hotlge podge of gags. It is a plausible, cunvineing story, ludicrous in the extreme, yet not overdrawn. Kveryone who enjoys a laugh will enjoy and appreciate ‘‘Her Temporary Husband.” The story treats with a girl who must marry within 2-1 hours to earn a fortune. Eager for the money hut not for the husband that

goes with it. the girl plans to marry an old man who is not expected to live more than a few months. She goes through with the ceremony, later to line I that the-elutp she marries is very much alive—a youthful admirer who had disguised himself and changed places with the supposed bridegroom at the last minute. That is hut the barest outline of the plot. Complications follow complications, every one adding to the- ltidierousness of the situation and leading up to an explosive- climax. It is interpreted hv a brilliant, all-star cast, including Owen Moore. Sidney Chaplin. Sylvia Dreamer. Tally .Marshall, Chuck Rcisuer. fleorge Cooper and others. “Her Temporary Husband” is a guaranteed sure cure for the blues. It is funny enough to make a laughing hyena cry with laughter. The latest in Topicals and a two-reel Comedy completes the display on .Monday. Selections by Miss Williams’ orchestra and usual prices. On Wednesday a William Fox special entitled “Hoodman Blind” will he shown, and on Thursday next a Master Picture entitled “Alain Street.”
