'Cheerio" is an even better entertainment than was 'Carry 4 !All of the favorites of the la tek show are stil] included in the t iwhnile several new artists have been {added to the personnel of the com- pany, the most nigable of whom be- {ing the famous comedian of the sec- end division; or "See Too's," name. {ly John Hagan. Mr, Hagan was a | well-known professional before the | war, having appeared here with sev- eral New York companies, He was jengaged by the George Edwardes | Company immediately the war was over,.and for the past four years he I'has been the featured comedian of ithe Daly's and Lyric Theatres pro- |ductions. His phenomenal success las Suitangi in "The Lady of the Rose" (called "The Lady in Ermine" in New York), is known to many {Canadians who keep in touch with {the English stage through the var- lous stage and illustrated publica- | t.onse. His most recent and prob- |ably most pronounced success was |in the big revue, 'Whirled into Hap- |piness," which was produced by the | George Edwardes Company at the {Lyric Theatre. Mr, Hagan was star- red in this revue, and was acclaimed ithe pier of the younger generatiou |of comedians. One his most amus- {ing skits, "The Disorderly Room," has been obtained for "Cheerio," land will be a feature of the new {show. Al. Plunkett has a budget of {new songs which are destined to {prove the most popular musical hits lof the coming season. He doesn't Ising anything about mother this time, but he has a 'Granny' sony [that is going to get you. "Oh Gee, Oh Gosh, Oh Golly" promises uv make you laugh while he smiles.

Lilly and [the other comedians, including the { black face team of Ben Allen and {Jack Grace, have a wealth of new !material. Captain Plunkett and his [OY eee Orchestra are a feature. a | "Just Married" Coming The New York farce comedy suc- cess, "Just Married" has been we- jcured by Manager Branigan ter Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 3rd and 4th at the Grand Opera House through an arrangement with Jules |Hurtig, the celebrated theatrical ! manager who has given the Amer- ican stage many clean plays. "Just Married" is now on a tour around the world, after completing long and successful runs in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston. The play is the work of Adelaide Matthews and Anne Nichols, - au- thors = of "Scrambled Wives," '"Nightie Night," and Rose." The action of "Just Mar- ried" covers seven days, the time required for a French liner to raf! from Bordeaux to New York. There are many couples aboard, including twe young people, who are celebrat- ing their honeymoon and who are desperately trying secret. The cast will include George Snyder, Wallace Ray, Will Chase, George Paige, Yates Price, John Reily, Robert Barclay, Walter Baker, Fred Atkins, Joseph Atwood, Ruth Thomas, Constance Cameron, Therese Quadri, Lillian Paige. Jane May and Marie Ainsworth. Clifford Stark staged lhe entire production. "SUZANNA," STARRING MABEL in a semi-serious way thé adventures, the loves and ro- mances of the hardy pioneers who first peopled southern California, the aristocratic old Dons of Cas- tillan lineage, "Suzanna," now show- ing at the Allen Theatre, is a comedy drama, typical of a Mack Sennett production. With the climax centred in a beautiful' old fashioned chapel, an exact replica of one of the old Mis- sion chapels, the plot is developed through the introduction of a tor- eador, as the male vamp who con- tinually schemes to win the affec- tions of the beautiful senorita, then casts her off when he learns that a little peon girl who has been brought up as the daughter of one of the servants is the rightful heir of the wealthy Spanish family, Through almost tragic knavery on the part of this servant, who steals the daughter of a wealthy Spanish Don, replacing' it with his own ' daughter, the two children grow to voung womanhood ignorant of the transition, until the conscience- stricken parent divulges his secret. Mabel Normand plays the role of the girl who had been robbed of - her rights, but who finally rises ma- jestically to a position rightfully her's. Winifred Bryson is the other girl. Walter McGrail is the . handsome, dashing hero with whom Mabel is in love. George Nichols, as usual, is cast as the stern parent, while Bric Mayne is the father whose baby was taken and replaced by another. Carl Stockdale was the servant whose trickery made the story possible. Romantic comedy Treating which savors of the real thing, adds ' "Abie's Irish | to keep it a NORMAND, A COMEDY DRAMA. | This scene in ** of the most laughable seen on GETTING LAUGHS Just Married " has been declared to be one the stage in years. Coming to the Grand Monday and. Tuesday nights, Dec. 3rd and 4th. variety to 'the picture and the love element is not lacking. A feature of the production is the realistic at- mosphere and the costuming which will please and entertain. ALLEN THEATRE, The Queen's Dramatic Club To Ap- peari.

The turf, its fascinating intrigues the thousand and one desperate stra- | tegies of gamblers and turfmen to wingby hook or, crook, form part of the plot of the exceptional picture, "Little Johnny Jones," which opens at the Strand Theatre today. This 1s the most entertaining of | cinema entertainments seen in a blue moon. The reason lies in the fine story itself, but particularly in the comedy acting of Johnny Hines, who, in the starring role, carries off | | honors by brilliant work, making | 'the wholesome, peppy story even | peppler in its screen clothes. This { young comedian has been dubbed the George M. Cohan of screendom. Those who witness his superb per- formance know why. | enjoyable, easily e¢lipsing | comedy entertainers.
