A 100 PER CENT ALL-TALKING ENTERTAINMENT AT GAIETY.

There have been talkies built upon murder trials, talkies built upon mysteries of all types, talkies based on bizarre adventure, and talkies dealing with the thrilling underworld. B it when Warner Bros. decided to mahe into a talkie tlie famous comedy, "Tlie Time, the Place, and the Girl," they consciously decidecl on a play thit would amuse all audieuces, and at the same time give thein as _ rnauv tlirills as ten murder trial pictures moulded into one. This new and do lightful comedy, "The Time, the Pla-e and the Girl," opens at the Gaiety de Luxe to-morrow, Saturday afternoon, and. from all appearances looks as if a reeord seaSon xvill he registered. In the leading roles are Betty Compson, Grant Withers, Gertrude Olmstead, and Bert Roach. The storj- is so modern that the hero wears a raccoon cioat, and the brilliant _ and sparkling repartee has the audienee in. a constant simiuer of 'merriment. Graat Withers plays a football hero wliose conceit is greater thau liis fame. He has an enormous following of _ doting women, and especiallv clo married women hang ovex* his smile and his lastminufe run. The hero eomes to Mail Street, where he is going to show Pierpont Morgan how to do a big business, and this picture is a reeord of this coneeitecl young fellow's adyent.u--ous career on the Street, and in the ronxantic tlioughts of his- lady fx-iendo. Xo is funny, and human and new ; '-t presents plain, oi'dinary people in several guises, with the masks off ; _'t ranges, m background, from the exciting foootball field to the more exeiting Wall Street market, and from tliei-e to the drawing-rooms of Long Island ; it is the story of a wise young fellow, and how he got cured. Oue of tlie biggest collections of all-talking, all-singing and all-musical "featurettes" yet presented by the management supports this wortliy feature. Opening with a grand ovel'ture hv the Vitaphone Sympliony Orchestra, of 80 l>erformers, "Evolution of Dixie," the first part goes with a bang. Wehnan and Russell will be seen and heard in a picturesque offering of old-fasliioned days and modern jazz times. Joseph Biskay, the famous Huugarian tenor, will render several favourite mimhers. Averiole Craven, the c-elebrated dancing violinist, is a novelty item of the highest order. Then there is tho Pathe Sound News and Audio Rexnew, a-j well as several other famous turns which will be made kndwnp-just as. a big gurprise, in to-morrow night.'a.issue of this lournal, the whole bu-ildiixg up an entertainment "second to none" in the world of "talkies-" Reservations can be obtained at the Gaiety, or by ringing 'phone 3809.
