AMUSEMENTS.
EYERYBOOYS PICTURES. “ CRADLE SNATCHERS” —TO-NIGHT. “Cradle Snatchers,” a mirth-covered sormon, will bring gales of laughter from every audience that witnesses it. Without exaggeration, this is the best comedy drama for many a year. This story, of three wives who find that their husbands go hunting, not for ducks as they claim, hut for chickens, and who turn the tables on their deceivers by hiring three college boys to make love to them to arouse their husbands’ jealousies, is screamingly funny. The sub-titles which accompany the action, the easting direction, and the story itself make a fine picture. Louise Fazenda, gorgeous blonde, who insists on having a real Spanish lover with a kick, while she is at the business of getting even with hubby, is ideallycast, and gives a perfect performance of a neglected wife who turns loose for the time of her life, while J. Farrell Macdonald, as her duck-linnting husband, who finds too late that his wife was not as easy as she looked, will bring down the house. Ethel AVales and Dorothy Phillips, as the other two wives, and the throe college boys hired to act the Romeos for the occasion, do their share toward making “ Cradle Snatchers ” the unqualified success it is. An entertainment supreme from every angle. Tho second series of “ The Collegians ” will commence to-night, and will be continued every Monday. A topical and comedy also will be shown to-night. On AA'ednesday next, Clara Bow in “ It.”
