THEATRICAL
••THE FLIRT” TOIJAY
There is a new photoplay at the
Grand theatre this week that will ap
peal to every one. It is a film drama
tization of Booth Tarkington's famous
story. “The Flirt.” with which thou
sands are familiar, as the hook was
one of the best sellers of its period.
This picture is especially recommended
for:
Girls like Cora who think that:
Tt doesn't hurt to flirt if you don’t
flirt to hurt.
Fathers like John Madison, who
are:
Headed for the poorhouae with the
family in high gear.
Mothers like Mrs. Madison, who
would:
Rather do the work herself than
fight about it. ,
“The Flirt” was Aimed at Universal
City under the direction of Hobart
Henley. It in offered bv Car| Laem
mle as the year's most appealing blend
of laughter and tears, and lives up to
all Its advance notices.
It boasts a real all-star cast, includ
ing Eileen Percy as the Flirting Cora.
Helen Jerome Eddy as the elder sis
ter. George Nichols as the father.
Lydia Knott as the mother. Buddy
Messenger, the wonder-bov of the
screen, as the pesky kid brother, and
Nell Craig. Tom Kennedy. Harold
Goodwin. Ll^yd Whitlock. Bert Roach,
Edward Hearn. Dorothea Wolgeht and
William Welsh in other roles.
“HIS BRIDAL NIGHT” s
A picture that will keep you smiling
from start to ^finish.. with a star that
will fascinate you and a storv that will
thrill you. f’an be seen on today at the
Royal theatre where Alice Brady. In
“His Bridal Night," is playing.
“HI** Bridal Night” is one of the
liveliest little farces the screen has
seen in some time. Miss Brady in the
dividual role of Vi and Tiny Playfair,
twins, reaches the zenith of her screen
acting. Never has she done more nat
ural or enthusiastic work. She is real,
vivid, living. With her snontaneity
and irresistible personality, her char
acterization of Vi, the »ray. heartless
little flirt, is superb And as Tiny, the
demure, faithful soul, she is equally as
splendid.
Edward Earle and James Crane lend
Miss Bradv excellent support, and Ken
neth Webb, with bis splendid direc
tion. has done hie share toward mak
ing the picture the success it is.
“OMAR THT5 TEXTMAKER”
However staid and prosaic a person
may appear on the surface, he or she
succumbs to the fascination which the
Orient holds for the Occidental.
Oriental tales have been in vogue
through all the centuries, increasing
rather than receding, in popularity.

1 didn't get relief. Teas and such did
not reach my trouble, so I decided to /
take Cardui.
“1 found as the time came around,
the pain was less, but I kept on till 1
took six bottles. T am stout and well
. . . and give Cardui all the praise.”
Thousands of other women praise
Cardui, for beneficial results.
