GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAMME || i Most people are paid for what they know, but a personal maid is paid for what she knows how to keep quiet about, says Grace Perkins, the sensational new writer who has delved behind the modern scenes to bring "ExMistress," "Night Nurse," and, now, "Personal Maid" to the reading and movie-going public. "Personal Maid," the third of her sensational and revealing stories, opened at the Grand Theatre last night, with Nancy Carroll in the role of the red-headed Nora Ryan. Miss Carroll is ably supported by Pat O'Brien, brilliant young stage actor, Gene Raymond, known to Broadway as Raymond Guion, the jolly old character player, George Fawcett, and Mary Boland. "Personal Maid" tells the intimate story of a young girl, transported from an East Side tenement home to a ritzy New Kork apartment. It deals with what she sees and hears in the world of wealth, loose morals, high living, and what effect it h'as on her character. Eventually she tries "being a lady" herself, and, with a personal maid of her own, cavorts at a fashionable Florida resort. But, her masquerade exposed, she is swept back to the servants' hall, only to be swept out again into ritzy apartment of her own, with a personal maid and a husband.
