“Dangerous Business,” a I the v ßoynl to-night, brings us that queen of comediennes, Constance Talma dge, in a story that is brimming over with ludicrous, not to say snupp.v, situations into which the utmost comedy has been injected, and which are calculated to make an ordinary audience gasp with surprise. Daringly conceived, and as delicately handled are the situations which follow on Hie heroine’s statement that she is already married, when at the altar with anotliei\man. The supposed husband lias been a milksop, but the war made a caveman of him, so that no one got a bigger surprise than his supposed bride when lie suddenly arrives to fake charge of the situatoin.' Harold Lloyd, said to be the greatest comedian in the world, not even excepting Larry Semon or Charlie Chaplin, appears in “Bumping into Broadway,” and the last episode of “The Invisible Hand” completes a programme second to none ever show, and although a special programme the manager has decided to keep the prices at fid and Is Id, children half-price.

Can you guess what the other man is thinking Is a man who thinks murder equally, guilty with the wretch who actually commits the deed These and many other ethical problems made “The Witching Hour” one of the greatest stage successes of all times. The Augustus Thomas triumph lias now been filmed as a William D. Taylor Special, and will he shown at the Royal on Monday. Elliott Dexter is the leading man.
