NICE WOMEN

COMMENCES THURSDAY. Many amusing domestic complications enliven the story of "Nice Women," the comedy-drama which opens at the Grand Theatre on Thursday. Principal ingredients of this inlaresting play are a young girl who is desperately in love with a penniless clerlc; a clerlc who reciprocates her affection; a wealthy bachelor, ignorant of this situation, who wishes to marry the girl; a designing mother, intent on the same thing; a younger sister, wise in the ways of love, who brings about a number of surprising developments; and a siren who for eight years has been the intimate companion of the bachelor. The conflicting interests of these people, and their consequent actions, go io make of "Nice Women" a screen play which is at times filled with terse drama, and at other times with comedy of the most delightful description. The story is a swift succession of "situations" which keep the interest of the audience at a high piteh.

Sidney Fox as the sophisticated younger sister, plays the leading role, and does it in a manner which will add new laurels to those already g«ained hy the captivating little miss. She is perliaps the screen's outstanding player of light comedy among the younger generation, and her work is a positive delight. Franees Dee is altogether lovely as the older sister, and the excellence of her performances is matched hy that of Alan Mowbray as the wealthy bachelor. Others who do good work are Russell Gleason, son, Carmel Myers and Lucille Webster Gleason. Edwin H. Knopf has successfully directed this story, which was originally written hy him, and adapted for the screen hy Gladys Lehman. "Nice Women" is a picture which you will find brim-full of interest and entertainment.
