GRAND
“BRINGING UP FATHER” “Bringing Up Fatl\er” will be shown . at the Grand Theatre again this evening. The picture is a literal adaptation of George McManus’s famous cartoons. Polly Mqran plays Maggie, the redoubtable wife of Jiggs, and Marie Dressier takes the role of Mrs. Dinty Moore. J. Farrell MacDonald, wellknown character actor, is Jiggs. Gertrude Olmsted, who came to the screen by way of a beauty contest, is the Jiggses’ beautiful daughter. The picture is one long guffaw from beginning to end. It begins when thJiggses, steerage passengers from old Dublin, arrive in America in company with the Dinty Moores, and takes them up to the time they attempt to high hat their corn-beef-and-cabbage origin in their entertainment of nobility at a Long Island show place. If you don’t want to laugh till your sides hurt, better stay away from “Bringing Up Father.” A strong supporting programme will also fc-3 shown.
