HUSBAND'S HOLIDAY

MODERN STORY D EALING WITH A MODERN PROBLEM ENTERTAINING PICTURE Clive Brook, Vivienne Osborne j Charlie Ruggles and Juliette Com- j pton are the principal players in the new Paramount drama, "Husband's Holiday," coming to the Majestic Theatre on Saturday next. "Husband's Holiday," is an intelligent, provocative, entertaining story of a husband who becomes infatuated with anotber woman and plans to divorce his wife. But the wife, a cour- ■ ageous woman who has helped her , husband in his climh to suecess, re- , fuses to take his "wanderings" too seriously. She b'elieves he is merely infatuated and hopes that he will eventually return to her and their two adorable children. Her surp'rising attitude and her desperate struggle to hold her happiness, family and love as nothing had happened makes for thoughtful drama to strike deep into the hearts of men and women. The direction of Rohert Milton is swift-paced and dramatic, making the most of situations that are always interesting and off the beaten track. And the dialogue of , Yiola Brothers Shore catches eompletSly the human qualities of the story. Clive Brook as the erring husband who finds himself in love with two women is excellently cast in one of his hest roles. Viveenne Osborne as the loyal wife, and Juliette Compton as the "otber" woman who has had the misfortune to fall in love with a married man, are hoth ,sincere and moving in well interpreted roles. And Charlie- Ruggles as a ben-pecked husband who tries to get a word in ever

so often and contributes many hearty laughs to th'e proceedings. "Husband's Holiday^' is a modern story dealing entertainingly with a ; modern prohlem. You should make it a point to see it when it comes to the Majestic Theatre.
