AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. “ WOMAN wish to-night. “ Woman Wise,” to he 11r<*sc!iLc*l ;it IVineess Theatre to-night will In* found to give more solid amusement to tin' 'loot than iiny <»iln*r picture produced in Hollywood tliis year. This, in the light of “ What Brice Glory.” “ The Gay Retreat,” “ I.oves of Carnien.” and other hilarious pictures, is “some statement,” hut the fact remains that the audience roared, and this, in the final analysis, is what counts. ‘'.Make ’em lunch,” said George .M. Cohan, “and you’ve cone a lone way toward making ’em like your show! ” 'I hat’s precisely what Director Albert Kay seems to he aide to do with all his productions for Fox Films. And “ Woman Wise,” his latest achievement-, is no exception to the general rule. 'l’llis super specialist in laughter has literally outdone himsell in this one. With his locale in dedda. in the oil Holds of Persia, the director has injected his leading elm meters-—J line Collyer, Walter Pidgeou and \\ illiam Russel! into some of the funniest and. at the same time, some oif the most cripping situations one can imagine. It is all new and hilarious —the kind of fun that is never forced and some of the tilings the actors do arc precisely what any normal person would he expected to do in similar circumstances. That's what makes it id such vital interest to the spectator. FRHD SMITH'S DANCE ORCHESTRA.
