"His Bridal Night" Scored Hit.
Its absorbing laugh interest was in
Itself sufficient TO entitle His Bridal

best comedies of the season. A bis
audience at the Grand on Saturday
night enthusiastically registered its aD-
prevail not only OF the comedy but Oh
its attractive musical qualities as vel,
and the capabilities OF the performers
we're fully appreciated Its song nun
bers we're OF pleasing variety, though
none were of the "whiSt!ey' sort. One

ton, Wen Take the Germ Out OF Ger

ness and patriotic sentiment to give 1t
rank among the popular hits Of the
day.
The wardrobe dispIayed by the
chorus ard feminine principals was
stcikingly good and gave added charm
20 4 company of unusually coed look
ing women. Giving every feature OF
the production due credit the comedy
rises above all It's other taking points
So marked was this fact IN the second
act that one almost entirely forgot all
else, and when the chorus appeared In
the closing number OF the act It had
the effect OF waking one to con-
sciousne5s that it was more thar a
farce comedy after all
"His Bridal Night" is the second OF
the really good musical farce come
dies that has been here this season.

Aon Tr;ai" 1t the Dixie.

Particular interest in film circles at
taches to The screen version of ON
Triai' because it is the cirst selection
of the First National Exhibitors Cir
cult. 1t had its initial New York show
ing at the Ratio ard proved a very
successful attraction there. It is
booked Tor the Dixie Tor today and to-
morrow. The story was enc lending
;tselE admirably to screening because
IN way it was constructed in motion
picture ioTn. The trial scene and the
perturbation OF the evidence is a "a
nfliar thing IN the films 1t was a
novelty on the stage. In any event
The result Of the picture version is en-
tirely worth while and the acting OF
little Mary McA1lister as Doris, is wor-
thy Of especial mention for Its natural
ness Nor should the work OF Bar
bara Castleton, Sidney Ainsworth.
James Young. Miss Uzel and the oth-
ers be neglected. The courtroom
scenes are convincing ana there IS
much SUSPENSE which will hold an
audience firmly to the end
The murder OF Trask. the trial OF
Strickland and the gradual develop
ment OF the story through evidence
given on the stand by the various wit
nesses, is impressive and there are
many human touches which will APP
peal strongly.
The story IS probably familiar to
most people It is the scrdid one OF
, the wife who ccaceals an unfortunate
AFFAIR in her early life from her l1us-
band. The evil genius in the case be-
comes his best friend but when he &C
cidentaIy learns the truth he kills the
betrayer and confesses. A theft is IN
yoIved and the chief witness for the
prosecution betrays his own guilt IN
fhat respect when he describes an IN
cident which could not have happened.
The happy ending comes as a relief
after the long series OF tense situa-
tons.
THIS Is thoroughly consistent melo-
drama, well directed, staged and
played.
