M&clyn Arbuckle at the Regent In "No
Laughllng Matter"
Maclyn Arbuckle has never appear
ed in a more pleasing play than that
shown at the Regent theatre yester
day and which will 'be repeated there,
to-day. It is "No Laughing Matter"
but deepite its title there are dozens
of humorous situations coupled with
many others which open up one's
heart for the sad old villager • whose
natural ambition is to be happy. But
■at the end of the piece all is well
for everything turns out as Hi Judd
wished. In the character of Hi Judd,
Mr. Arbuckle has undoubtedly attain
ed his greatest triumph and hisXpleas
iug personality is daily gaining for
hini thousands of admirers. In "No
Laughing Matter," the great American
impersonator has done all that Lois
Weber, who wrote the piece, could have
expected. The feature runs for more
than 'an hour and it is brimful' of in
teresting situations. All of the scenes
are laid in a quaint old country vil
j jage and life in the rural community
I is realisticly portrayed. For to-morrow
j Manager Magaro has engaged "The
j Arrival of Perpctua," with Vivian
i Martin, 'as the feature.—Adv.*
Photoplay To-day
"Out of the Ruins," a three reel
Kdison kinetograph feature in a fire
picture embodying some of the most
spectacular and realistic fire scenes
ever photographed for the screen. This
picture necessitates the burning to tin
ground of a large building represented
as a department store. The thrilling
rescue scenes just before the collapse
of the entire wall of the building make
your heart jump to your throat and
you feel as though you would like 10
rush to the screen to help the firemen,
it is so realistic. The different char
acters of the play are splendidly acted.
The etar part played iby M'abel Trun
nelle as "Miss 318," of the depart
ment store.
"Whose Husband?" showing an
escaped convict who, in a most amus
ing way, stirs up some amazing com
plications between two quarreling mar
ried couples, is very clever. "His
Wife's Secret," a good Kssanav drama
and "When Hearts Are Young," a
dramatic comedy, finishes up as fine a
show to be seen any where for the
small price of admission. Don't miss
this good show.—Adv.*
