MONDAY, APRIL 24, 1023, THE Ly < DAILY BRITISH WHIG. 3 ins AMUSEMENTS | A pm What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions "Irene" hier The Vanderbilt Producing pany's pretentious production of | "Irene" the musical comedy by | James Montgomery, with music by | Harry Tierney and lyrics by Joseph | McCarthy, which made such a furore | in all the large centres of the uni- verse last year, establishing records . mever before heard of in the annals of mrgical comedy, is again carrying every hing before it in all of the @itie~ shere it is presented this sea- F.4. "Irene" is sb entirely differ- i bt from any musical attraction ever - Mered hefore, that it has a value so Mstinctive and separate from any- t 4ng else in the musical comedy line, it is hard to describe. As Shakespeare '#a:*: "The play's the thing." And this is so of this wonderfully magnetic offering. If there were no com-~ musical numbers to be heard, and there are at least nine distinct song | Bits in the score, "Irene" would | " still be a big drawing card, for it| tells a most pleasing story in the most | happy manner, and is as interesting ia plot as any comedy ever written. "Irene" will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House, Thursday, April 27th, one night only. "The Old Nest" "The Old Nest," a Reginald Bark- ® or production offered by Goldwyn, which comes to the Allen Theatre for three days, beginning today, is perhaps the richest picture in per- . ®onalities that has been placed be- fore the public in many a season. The story and the scenario were written by Rupert Hughes, the di- rection was handled by Reginald Barker, and the cast includes the following players: Mary Alden, Cul- len Landis, Louise Lovely, Helene Chadwick, the famous "Edgar" chil- dren, Johnny Jones, Buddy Messen- ger and Lucille Ricksen; Maurice B. ('Lefty') Flynn, Molly Malone, 'Richard Tucker, Nick Cogley, Dwight Crittenden and several others. The size of the cast is explained by the fact that the story starts when the majority of the players are children. At The Strand. A clean break-away from the con- ventional run of motion pictures is found in "The Right That Failed," . the new Metro picture starring vert Lytell, which opens at the Strand to- day. Frist published in the "Satur- day Evening Post," the story is from the pen of J. P, Marquand, who has contrived to avoid the stereotyped ' #tyle and present a set of characters mew to the screen, with a humorous and fresh development that holds ihe audience in close grip. It is good, wholesome fun, with plently of ac- tion and suspense. The leading wo- man in the cast is Virginia Valli, and | other members are De Witt Jennings, Philo McCullough, Otis Harlan and Max Davidson. Competent critics de- clare that "The Right That Failed" is Bert Lytell's best picture since the "Right of Way." The Strand presents to-day one of the big figures of the comedy world---Larry Semon in "The Show," one ofthe most uproarsous side-splitters that even he has pro- duced. Those who visit the Strand to see Larry will have a merry time, and what is better than a merry time fn springtime. S------------ The Lato Alexander Ross.
