PRINCE EDWARD
“TILLIE’S PUNCTURED ROMANCE” “The Merry Widow,” starring John Gilbert, will be shown at the Prince Edward Theatre this evening. Mae Murray has tlie title role. She appears as the dancing star of tlie “Manhattan Follies,” a troupe of theatricals who find themselves in a beautiful town of Monteblanco. Sally, the dancer, finds herself attended by princes and barons, but she rightly suspects them all. She denies Prince Danilo the love of a moment and succeeds in arousing in him a lifelong affection. The prince’s family points out that he has a duty to his country, and poor Sally is left on her wedding morning. But she has her revenge through marriage with a baron and through the inheritance of his millions. She leads a merry dance through the European capitals as “The Merry Widow,” and has a following of kings and princes. “Tillie’s Punctured Romance,” tlie second attraction, is a merry comedy of circus life, starring three outstanding comedy players, W. C. Fields, Chester Conklin and Louise Fazenda.
