Screaming Comedy from Stage Play. Anybody who fears that laughter may increase their girth is herewith warned to stay away .from the Grand Theatre next Monday, Tue::clay and Wednesday, when 'Mc adden's Flats' , will be playing. For this latest First National picture, filmed by the pro- ducing body of As're •, Small and Rogers, is one of the greatest laugh 1 hits ever thrown on the, screen, Not •• only have all the comic situations that made the original stag•, production a continued hit for more than ;10 years been retained, but new and novel situations have hent added. I'he result is that nobody wino ares for wholesome fun car, anion', to miss the most promising of the ,mson's successes. Two of the reaeots for the complete eucce s of this picture are Charlie. Murray end Chester Conklin, who have been teamed up for the first time in this production. Charlie, always excruciatii:_• funny, finds greater opportunities than ever in his association with the gifted Conklin. The eye filling members of the company are Edna Murphy, who plays the part of Charlie's beautiful daughter, and Dorothy Damn, bee chum. One would hardly imagine that a production such as "iticleacl- den's Flats” would give the cppor- tmsities it does for elaborate gowns and even alluring trim bathisig suite. But there they are, and, it may be added, both Edna and Dorothy knows how to wear thou. - Ire BORN t'ORI3M8.-In Winnipeg, Alan, on traddey, FJuly 15th, 1857, to M r. and Norman; re.
