AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. “THE WRONG AIR WRIGHT ’’ Tlie star attraction for this evening’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 than any picture to he shown here in many a day. Imagine if you can, Jean Hersholt, heretofore portrayer of serious and semi-serious roles, cavorting on the screen ns 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 liis boyhood sweetheart. What happens when he finds her rolling in avoirdupois and surrounded by several incorrigible children, provides the basis of laugh after laugh. Enid Bonnet 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 be done in the part she portrays. Walter Hiers, a featured comedian in his own right, does some exceedingly funny acting as do Dorothy Devore and Edgar Kennedy. The picture is simon pure entertainment with not a single dull moment. The supports will include a topical, scenic and comedy. On Friday next Tom Mix will bo shown in “-The Outlaws of Red River.” Coming: Heeney-Sharkey fight film.
