SATURDAY NIGHT. SOMEONE TO LOVE. “Someone to Love” was taken from the novel by Alice Duer Miller. It has romance, comedy, drama, laughs, and a climax of fast, melodramatic action, and presents Charles Rogers as a “misunderstood” young man who is called to rescue an exclusive girl’s school from bankruptcy. TURUA PICTURES. MY OFFICIAL WIFE. “My Official Wife,” showing at the Turua Hall to-morrow night, is a picture of Russia before the war, the land of Plot, a commanding beautiful and clever woman, a hater and desperate enemy of the aristocracy whose sole passion is vengeance. As the “official wife” of a noble she returns to Russia, where she discovers that her hate of years is directed against the only man she ever loved. Reason dictates to passion and both seek future happiness together. THE COHENS AND KELLYS. “The Cohens and Kellys,” showing on Tuesday night, is a story of a partnership fight that results in a long-drawn-out feud. Their wives, still the best of friends, pretend to take sides in the fight to please their husbands. Cohen and Kelly respond to this sympathetic battling by trying to outdo each other in generosity to their wives, as each of them will make any sacrifice to make the other look like a cheap skate. It is one of the funniest pictures ever filmed.
