AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions |SIR JOHN MARTIN HARVEY 'IN THE CORSICAN BROTHERS, That modern playgoers can still get ta thrill out of romantic drama bas been doubted by many students of the theatre but judging from the following review of Sir Joka Martin- | Harvey's production of "The Cor- {sican Brothers" .it only needs the | master touch of a real artist to make {the ultra-sophisticated theatregoer of 1926 flock to see it as their | fathers did in the oft spoken "good jold days." { Sir John takes two roles, those of | twin brothers, similar in appearance {and in many other things, making each susceptible to the emotions and feelings of the other, whether to- gether or apart. Bir John really really gives us a dual portrait of the | two brothers, one, Louis dei Franchi, | sophisticated and a graceful man of | the Parisian world, the other, Fab- | fen, lover of sports and devoted to his Corsican mountains and home. His delineation of these tyo char acters was accomplished" with a finesse and finfkh that were remark- able, an easy thing, doubtléss, for such a past-master of the histrionic art. But it amazed the onlookers. : The change, or perhaps one should | sa the differentiation, was as mark- ed. Sir John brings his entire Lon- don Company headed by Miss N. de Silva (Lady Harvey) to the Grand Theatre for one day, Wednesday, April 28th. LEW COPY GREAT IN "MONTE CARLO." Emerges - Triumphantly as an Al Comedian in New Production. Lew Cody. long distinguished on the screen as a sophisticated heart- breaker and home wrecker, emerges triumphantly as a first-water come- dian in his latest vehicle, "Monte Carlo," at the Capitol Treatre, Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday. "Monte Carlo" is a frothy comedy, smooth moving and well constructed, with more of a plot than is afforded most comedies, and Cody's distin- | Buished performance as the Ameri- can sefon of wealth, who, estranged from his father, suddenly finds him- self receiving the adulation of a prince because he accidentally ae- quired the prince's clothes, gives its hilarious situation a delicious flavor, Gertrude Olmstead has the lead- ing feminine role in the picture and acquits herself creditabdbly indeed. She 1s charming and appealing as the little New England school ma'am who comes to Monte Carlo after win- ning a popularity contest in her home town. * Trixie Frigansa, famous on the vaudeville stage, where shé Bas been a headliner for many years, has thé part of Flossie, the. hefty proprié- tress of the small town garage, who, with Gertrude Olmstead and ZaSu Pitts, finds hersell precipitated into 8 trip to Monte Carlo by reason of winning the local néwspaper's popu- larity contest. Cody, Trixie, ZaSu and Harey Myers, as Greves, the faithful valet, carry the major part of the comedy, and the results are side-splitting. THE DUMBELLS IN "THREE BAGS FULL." Most persons directly or indirect- ly connected with or interested in the theatré in Canada are frequently asked the question, "How long will the Dumnbells continue to hold theif position as the premiere attraétion in the Bominion?" Personally we have been asked this question every week or so for the past five or six years. The answer is that they will continue indefinitely; or as long as Captain Plunkett continues to dig up fresh material-in the way of songs and skeiches and holds a staff and organization of the samé splendid Te BXECUTOR'S SALE ot he Bits of he a A, John W day, Sireas, Ninguton on Tuesday, April on That valuable hg brick dwell. if Nonooms Shetet Kin von: ot the time ince the Ny furn , stoves 4 coat nd ww on the premises The rt 11 be off ect toa vere ea.

Plunkett has lost none of his keen insight into the require- ments of Tanadisn Sedianees and still retains his remarkeble ability to pick winners, has been amply de- monstrated by the overnight suc- cess of his latest revue, "Three Bags Full," which comes to the Grand Opera House for three performances commencing Tuesday evening, May 4th, and Including a matinee Wed- nesday.
