MAJESTIC THEATRE
TO-NIGHT "My Wife's Family," described as the funniest film farce ever produced, screens to-night for the last time at the Majestic Theatre. The plot of this film is concerned with the feud between Jack Gay and his interfering mother-in-law — in fact Arabella is the most complete mother-in-law ever achieved on stage .or screen. She is suspicious, interfering, sarcastic, narrow-minded, bossy and unbeautiful. She says and does all the things that have made mothers-in-law a stock joke. Her son-in-law, however, after his efforts to appease her ill-nature have failed and she has completely destroyed the happiness of his home, finally retaliates and devises terrible epithets for her. "Canal-boat," "poisonous old cat-fish," "battle cruiser," and "sarcastic as well as ugly," he barks at her.
