EVERYBODY’S
“CRADLE SNATCHERS” A hilarious farce of weary wives of wandering husbands, “Cradle Snatchers” brought roars of laughter from the audience at Everybody’s Theatre yesterday. It tells the story of three wives who, to teach their philandering husbands a lesson, hire three college boys to play the parts of lovers. Dorothy Phillips plays the part of tlie wife who concocts the scheme with her niece’s sweetheart. ITe gets his two friends to join him in earning a thousand dollars each. Louise Fazenda as one of the wives insists that she may as well get some fun out of the business and chooses the most ardent of tlie college boys as her swain. Ethel Wales in the part of the timid wife joins reluctantly in the scheme and takes a blond viking who is even more timid than she, till he gets started. While the wives and their hired sheiks are at the country home of one of them, the husbands show up. The fun. fast and furious till now, reaches a crescendo of humour seldom equalled and probably never bettered. The Dempsey-Tunney fight film is also being screened.
