NEW PROGRAMME TO-MORROW The chief feature on the new programme nt the National and Lyric Theatres to-morrow will be ‘.‘Two Girls Wanted,” starring Janet Gaynor. The story of “Two Girls Wanted” is of absorbing interest, highly romantic and spiced with whimsical humour as well as pathos and heart throbs. It deals with two sisters fighting for a living in New York, with Miss Gaynor as the oiie who forced in a last desperate effort to get a job by masquerading as a boy. This is made necessary because her sister, played by Marie Mosquini, is home suffering from an injury. It is while she is disguised as a boy that she first meets the man of the story, Lexter Wright, played with humour and sympathy by Glenn Tryon. A .cast of players of unusual merit support Miss Gaynor, including Glenn Tryon, Marie Mosquini, Ben Bard. Joseph Cawthorn, Loris ' Lloyd and others almost equally well known ans popular.
