THREE GOOD PLAYS

LITTLE THEATRE SOCIETY Excellent houses have witnessed the current production of the Little Theatre Society—a triple bill o£ some of the hnest one-act plays In the language. No one can deny the eeriness of “The Monkey’s Paw" and its tragic wishes; no one can fail to be amused by the delicious humour of “The Twelve Pound Look,” Sir James Barrie’s delightful comedy of the pompous husband and his ex-wife, the typist; and everyone must enjoy the Cockney characters in Chapins “God and Mrs. Henderson." This last play is one of the finest things the society has done. The triple bill will be played for the last time this evening. BIG FILMS AT LYRIC Two of the best of silent pictures are being screened at the Lyric Theatre today. The first is “Get Your Man," starring Clara Bow in the type of picture which she knows so wall how to make. She appears as a young flapper in Paris, madly in love witii an aristocratic Frenchman, and encountering all sorts of difficulties in getting him to accept her. The second big attraction is the powerful drama “The Way of Ail Flesh,” starring the great German emotional actor Emil Jannings. Jannings appears as. a peaceful home loving clerk, who succumbed to the double temptation of money and a pretty face, only to find ruin and degradation.
