By II.

AT THE GRAND Wednesday afternoon,
while Alice Brady was busy putting over
"Out of The Chorus" on the screen, there
was considerable knocking done. 1t was
noticeable, however that all the knocking
was done by some employees behind the
scenes, and the only effect was to spoil
ley and his gang.
The theme of the picture is nothing par
ticularly new, being the story of the
chorus girl who finally shows the snobbish
mother-in-law that she can make a good
wife despite her antecedents. The plot,
however. has several mighty good angles
and a new twist or two.
As a production the film is well han

in a whole lot of others she has moved
about in and once twice manages to
register actual emotion.
