EVERYBODY’S

“CRADLE SNATCHERS"

Fast moving, cleverly titled, admirably cast and splendidly directed. “Cradle Snatchers,” Fox Films screamingly funny farce, which has been delighting audiences at the Majestic Theatre during the past week, will be shown at Everybody’s Theatre tor a short season. The story is quickly told, but not the dozens of mirth-provoking episodes. Briefly three wives discover that when their husbands say they go duck hunting they tell only half the truth. They go hunting, but not for ducks, but for chickens—blonde, brunette and red heads. And the wives to teach them a lesson hire three college boys to act as theuRomeos —a dark romantic Spaniard born in Brooklyn, a blonde Yoking, very shy, and one who is strictly business. That is the gist of the plot that furnishes the fun that kept the audience shouting with laughter. The cast, each of whom plays his part to perfection, includes J. Farrell Macdonald, Louise Fazenda, Ethel Wales, Dorothy Phillips, Sammy Cohen, Nick Stuart, Arthur Lake and Joseph Striker. Howard Hawks directed this delightful comedy. The Dempsey-Tunney fight film will also be shown to-night.
