A NEW ANGLE

WIFE'S PROPER ATTITUDE TO UNFAITHFUL HUSBAND, FORGIVE OR DIVORCE? Br-inging with it a new angle to the problem of whether a wife should divorce or forgive an unfaithful husband, ('Good Sport,'' opens its local engagement, Monday, May 16, at the Grand Theatre. In this Fox picture, which is said to combine a unique form of enfertainment with a searching matrimonial study, the heroine, a bride of a year, discoyers, that he husband has taken another woman with him to Europe. When her mother suggests a lawyer and the first train for Reno, she say 'no.' She is young, attractive and well-to-do; why should he leave her for a gold-digger? Determined to learn the reason, she assumes a new.name and a new role — that of a "lady of leisure," seeking friends among the woman of this new world, and endeavouring to find out their philosophy and secrets. Her search and its result form the basis of a fascinating picture. Linda Watkins, delectable blonde, who played the title role in "Snob Sister," has the feminine lead with John Boles opposite her as the millionaire she meets in her wanderings. Allan Dinehart enacts her faithless husband and Greta Nissen ■his inamorata. Hedda Hopper as Miss Watkins' mother and Minna Gombell as a swanky gold-digger completes the list of featured players. Louise Beavers supplies much of the comedy as a tolerant colored maid, with Claire Maynard, Sally Blane, Betty Francisco and Joyce Compton in the other prominent roles. With its locale entirely in and around New Yorlc City, Director ICenneth MacKenna has gone to considerable lengths to make his settings varied and attractive. Several luxurious Park Avenue apartments, a Long Island home, a Harlem night club and a famous Broadway restaurant are reproduced with unusual fidelity. These modern backgrounds are perfectly in keeping* with the modern spirit of the story, and with McKenna himself as well as most of his players hailing from New York theatrical circles, the city's atmosphere is realistically brought out.
