EVERYBODY’S

“McFADDEN’S FLATS” “McFadden’s Flats,” which is the feature attraction at Everybody’s Theatre, is one long hilarious laugh. The famous old stage comedy has been given a brand new dress, new laughs, and a new lease of life that shou'.d give screen audiences a new conception of what can be done in the way of film fun. Edward Small, of the producing firm of Asher, Small and Rogers, who made this lalest First National hit, has turned out something unique :.n

the form of a feature comedy. If his desire wsis to keep audiences roaring from the opening scene to the final fadeout he has succeeded. Charlie Murray, as the hod-carry-ing Irishman. is irrisistible, and teamed up with Chester Conklin as a Scottish barber, Charlie proves one of the greatest

comics of the screen. Of course, pretty face:*—and figures as well —have not been overlooked in the making of this picture. Edna Murphy, in the leading feminine role, is one of the most convincing reasons why gentlemen prefer blondes. Then, when Dorothy Divan comes along—photographing its a decided brunette—one becomes convinced that he might prefer her without losing the slightest evidence of his gentility. Buster Collier has recently returned to Master Pictures where some years age* he made his name as a. young star, and is now working on “Dearie,” with Irene Rich. *
