The story is built upon the compli- cations which can arise when three couples--one newly wed, one en- gaged, and one on the point of cele- brating a tenth anniversary of mar- riage, all comely and gregarious and nearly all jealous live in three apartments directly above each other | in a big metropolitan house, and ex- change visits, both by invitation and | by m'stake, at assorted hours of the! day and night. The tonic wholesomeness = of "Twin Beds" is due in part to the whirlwind rapidity of its action, and the genuine drama of {ts situations, but even more to the fact that it was | written as social satire, gemmed with life-like characterization. It is both clean and funny because it is first human meeting at Sunbury on Thursday ev- ening. Pte. T. Brightman has transferred from the 14th to the 109th Lindsay Battalion for overseas service.
