AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBQDYS PICTURES. “THE WRONG MR WRIGHT” The star attraction for Wednesday’s display is entitled “ The Wrong Mr Wright,” and its purpose is to furnish laughter to every man, woman and child with a sense of humour. It is riotously funny—funnier Ilian any picture to lie shown here in ninny a day. Imagine if you can, Joan Horsliolt, heretofore portrayer of serious and semi-serious roles, cavorting on the screen as a full-fledged comedian. Somebody should be blamed for not “discovering” him as a comedian years ago. The action begins with Jean, the old-maidish vice-president of a nearly defunct corset manufacturing company, taking his first vacation in twenty years to visit his boyhood sweetheart. WTiat happens when he finds her rolling in avoirdupois and surrounded by several incorrigible children, provides the basis of laugh after laugh. Enid Rennet as the vamping woman detective, who tries to worm a confession out of Jean, only to fall in love with him herself, is excellently cast. She never overacts although it could easily he done in the part she portrays. Walter fliers, a featured comedian in his own right, does some exceedingly funny acting as do Dorothy Devore and Edgar Kennedy. The - picture is simou pure entertainment with not a single dull moment. The supports will include a topical, scenic and comedy. On Friday next Tom Mix will he shown in “The Outlaws of Red River.” Coming: Hceney-Sliarkey fight- film.
