“EASY COME EASY GO.”

Although Richard Dix rejected the medical profession as a life work he gets a very capable demonstration of it as it is practised in his latest picture, farce comedy, “Easy Come, Easy Go.” which will show at. the Princess Theatre, to-night. When Dix graduated from high school with dramatic ambitions, his family insisted that he should follow in the footsteps of his brother and take a medical course at the University of Minnesota. He entered tlie University, but when, as an observer, he saw his brother operate, liey became sickened at the sight of blood, and then and there decided to follow his bent for the stage. In “Easy Come, Easy . Go” he becomes mixed up with a sanatorium and its doctors give him an able demonstraion of what a doctor really does. With Nancy Carroll, the youthful star who made such a hit in Paramount’s presentation o*f Anne Nichol’s “Abie’s Irish Rose,” as his leading woman, Dix offers lively, laugh-provoking characterisation of a young man unwittingly made the accomplice of an accomplished crook. Charles Sellon whose screen career has been a series of clever supporting parts, has the important role of Jim Bailey, the veteran crook, with whom Dix becomes involved. The part calls for an unusual amount of fine acting in tiio humorous twists which the situations demand. The romance motive in the picture develops early and continues throughout the various sequences.

A topical and comedy complete the display to-night.
