TO-NIGHT. Many amusing domostic complications enliven the story of "Nice Women," the comcdy-drama which' opens at the Grand Theatre on Thqrsday. Principal ingredients of this interesting play are a young girl who is (lesperately in love with a penniless clcrk; a clerk 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, wis; in the ways of love, who brings about a numher of surprising developments ; and a siren who for eight ycars has heen the intimate companion of the bachelor. The eonflicting interests of these people, and their consequent actions, go to make of "Nice Women" a screen play which is at times fillcd 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 gained hy the captivating little miss. She is jxerliaps the screen's outstanding play•er of light comedy among the younger gcneration, and her work is a positive delight. Frances Dee is altogether lovely as the older sistei', and the excetlence of her performances is matehc-d hy that of Alan Mowbray as the wealthy bachelor. Others who do good work are Russell Gleason, son, Carmel Myers and Lucille Wehster Gleason.
