RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM “SLIGHTLY USED” “Slightly Used,” starring May McAvoy, and Conrad Nagel, is at the Rialto and Regent (Epsom) Theatres. It is the story of an elder sister whose father refuses to let her younger sisters marry until she is “off the shelf” herself. To escape the nagging, she pretends marriage with an imaginary Major John Smith. All goes well till a newcomer arrives, with whom Cynthia falls in love. To get rid of the imaginary husband, she causes reports of his death to be published. The unknown major reads the news, and comes post-haste to investigate. He, of course, falls in love with his “wife,” and after some hectic hours Cynthia reciprocates, and becomes what she has pretended to be. “Zero ” the second big feature, has as the leading lady Fay Compton, the well-known London actress.
