seen Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
at the Broadway theatre.
There Is no doubt but what all the
old-time patrons of the theatre remem
ber the stage productions of this won
derfully sweet story, as well as do all
real book-lovers. Of all of Myrtle
Reed's stories, "Lavender and Old
Lace" is the best known, and the film
j which has been made from it does the
story iuu justice, just as xviary Ains
lee was one of the most wonderful and
lovable women imaginable in the play
and in the book, so she is in the pic

of the splendid work done by Margue
rite Snow in the role.
All those who have read and loved
the book will be both surprised and de
lighted at the unusually true charac
terizations given by every member of
the cast. Seena Owen, as Ruth Thorne,
is as delightfully refreshing and natur
al as can be: Louis Bennison plays the
parts of both Captain Charles Winfiel-Jl
and of his son, Carl, in a way that
makes strong realistic characters of
them both: and Victor Potel and Zella
Ingraham Inject into the story a vast
amount of humor in two screamingly
funny character studies. These, as
well as the other members of the cast,
are all seasoned veterans of the filras,
