pictuee Souses. LIBERTY THEATRE. One of the> best nnd most elaborate of the season's productions is Ernst Lubitsch'a i masterpiece, "Three Women," which is be- ! i»g screened at the Liberty Theatre. The ; three women in this high society drama, • which is permeated with romance, love, and adventure, aro Paulino Frederick, Marie Prevost, and M*y McAvoy. The theme is interI eating in the extreme, and besides the star i item there are several excellent supports. ! GREATER CRYSTAL PALACE. I _—— mm ; A human 6tory of thrills and laughter is told in "The Hurricane Kid," the feature st the Greater Crystal Palaco Theatre, Manly and handsome Hoot Gibson, star of so many whirlwind romances of Western prairies, has . "come back" in a Universal special, that never lapses into the commonplace "movie." From the start Hoot Gibson carries the story along at break-neck speed, and before the final flicker comes he has accomplished wonders. There are good supports. i ; QUEEN'S THEATRE. i "My Lady's Dress," the headliner at the Queen's Theatre, is a picture which provides a great deal of food for thought. It has been based on the international stage success of the 6ame name by Edward Knoblock, a*nd its theme is sufficiently striking to claim instant attention. When first produced, eo unusual a class of play was bound to attract notice, but it is doubtful if even the producers themselves were prepared for its startling jump to fume. The picture ia better than the play.
GRAND THEATRE. The story of "Tongues of name," which is offering l at the Grand Theatre this week, has been graphically told, and in its adaptation to the screen it has gained in attractiveness by the fine acting of the star— Thomas Moighan. This actor is generally acclaimed ao one of the most popular figures in the motion picture world, and ample proof of that is afforded in tia production. 'EVERYBODY'S .THEATRE. A First National, ''lf I Marry Again,™ is the star picture at Everybody's Theatre. There is fine, healthy heart-interest in the story which tells of a strong man's stubbornness and a eon's determination to follow the dictates of his heart rather than the mandate of his father. The young fellow Bought adventure and found it in the not too sweet-smelling neighbourhood of San Francisco's Easy street. There he met with a beautiful girl and romance followed as a natural course. There are fine supports. STRAND THEATRE. "Tho Tornado" is the attraction at the Strand Theatre. The story tells of a man who saves a settlement from a log jam, caused by a great storm, by risking his life. Then, swept away himself, he came upon the wreck of the train in which a man and woman fled from his wrath, and after extras oTdinary effort eaves the woman—but the rapacious river sweeps the man away.
