AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. HAROLD LLOYD IN “HOT WATER.” -TO-NIGHT. lou Lave hoard of tlie follow who vowed never to fall for a. pair of “ .soft boiled eyes”? He usually is the first to flop. It is this type of character Harold Llovd portrays in his newest laugh sensation, “ Hot Water,” his second venture as an independent producer, and showing to-night at the Princess Theatre. He was a bachelor —a confirmed, foresworn bachelor, if you please. The sweet music of connubial bells was like the clang of prison chains to liim. He never went by a wedding without shuddering; “There but for the grace of God go 1.” But —we ask you—what can a poor man do when .Fate deliberately runs him up against the most provocatively gorgeous giil in all the world? You said it. He did! The honeymoon was a delirious dream. Building their home was heaven itself. Gad, what a fpol a man was to stay single! One day her family came to visit them : mother—with the disposition of a disappointed wild-cat; her big brother—so lazy he’d get up at four a.in. so he’d have a longer day to loaf; her little brother —a sweet child you love to take one your knee-—face downward ! And then the fun began 1 Funny? You’ll shriek with jov! You’ll •howl until you’ll feel like rolling oil the ground and kicking your heels at the sky! Funny? Why, you can’t know what fun is until you’ve seen Harold Lloyd in “ Hot Water.” Coming Friday.—“ Lorraine of the Lions.”
