THE LYRIC
“BACHELOR BRIDES” A laugh in every foot—with a thrill between each laugh. Such is William K. Howard’s production of “Bachelor Brides,” Rod La Rocque’s new starring
picture, which is now at the Lyric Theatre. The film is a delightful comedy mystery piece, masterfully combines genuine laughs with hairraising situations galore. The picture presents La Rocque as a monocled English peer, who seeks the hand of a wealthy American
heiress. The father of the girl, a Chicago butter and egg man, is seen in a hurried flight to Scotland in a vain attempt to block the marriage, and what happens at Duncraggan Towers the stormy night of his arrival furnishes first laughs—then suspense—then laughs again. Opposite La Rocque is Elinor Fair, while Julia Faye, Lucien Littlefield, George Nichols, Paul Nicholson, Eddie Gribbon, Eulalie Jensen and Sally Rand are in the supporting cast. This picture was made under the personal supervision of Cecil B. de Mille.
