♦— PICTURE HOUSES. LIBERTY THEATRE. XTTO FIXE ATTRACTION'S. "BULLDOG DRUM MONT)" AND "LOVEB OF CAMILLE." T ; berty Theatre again ha 6 secured two outstanding attractions for the week <>ommcncing to-day—"Bulldog Drummond and The Lever of C&mil'e. ' A whirling melodrama calling lor some strenuous acting on tho part of tho pruicipal plsvera is "Sapper's" "Bulldog Drummond." " One of tho most intriguing features of "Sapper's" thrilling fetor/ u the novelty cf its action and the «urpr.so nmsh. througn tho picture it i» practiie&h. potisiblo to guess what- is ail® • . .. something <3-t« happen it :s about . thing one would expect, and tho dc t twl-t m the final eoenea comes ae a bolt.nom the blue. Thoeo who boo the picture w.W be doing their friends, who havo not seen it, a good turn by refraining giving awav tho eurprse finisn. A pioi somewhat Iftkin to tho ultra-scnsaaoiMt "Sherlock Homes" stories, concerning a gang of international "crocks ' into wh hands a rich young man-one Hiram u. Travera—has fallen, is unfolded with not a little dexterity. Captain Hugh ijrummoncL. tho very adventurous young officer who hncts himself, at the behest of a distraught J cun S lady, suddenly taking the leading part l upsetting the maclii.iations of the murdoroua gang, is a character calling for much resource. CailyV Blackwoll, featured p aver, gives a good account of h™® , tho role of Captain Drummond, and Evelyn Greeley as the heivino is also well castThe : 'Lover of Camilie" is a Warner Brothers' classic. The story iff woven around Jean Guspa.rt Deburau and his love for Marin Dup'esai?, the Lady of tho Gaane!lia3. Deburau plans a rosy future ior them both when he £nds that his w-fp has left him, hut focn his happiness turns to tragedy wliftn lie 'earns that Marie lias teen unfaithful. Unable to go on, he leav«B the stage. Seven voars later, Deburau, ill and lieait-broken, living alone with his son, thrives on tho hope that his beloved will come to him. Marie, having been deserted by her lover, returns to Deburau for hie love and persuades him to return to the stage. Marie becomes ill and in her doliiium calls for Armand. It is then that Deburau realises that she never loved him. Marie dies b3 Deburau maizes his first appearance. Mare, having passed out of his life forever, his performance is a tragic farce. The curtain rings down oiv Deburau, but riec3 to a new Veburau, destined to be as great a* the old one, for his son ti-kes tho honours that were once his father's. Monte Blue portrjys tho role cf Deburau, and Marie Prev-fit is Camille. Others in the cast are WiTaid Louis, Pierre Gendron, Rose Dione and Win'fred Bryson.

QUEEN'S THEATRE. "RIDERS OF TIIE PURPLE SAGE." TOM MIX AND "TONY." It is claimed that Tom Mix Is cno of the most consistent performo R in the wo ld oi motion pictures, and no belter vehicle could have been offered him than Zano Grey's novel, "Riders of the Pu pit: Sage. Principally becauso of his effectives woiM, and also because of tho presence in the caet of Tony, hi 3 horse, and such artists as Mabel Ballin, Marian Nixon, and Warner Oland, the dramatic moments of this pictue of the West are vivii.v brought i-eforo th-> eyes. Tom Mix is not. only a real actor, but he is a ical man, physically equipped and courageous enough to perform m icai lifo the exploits ho is called upon to do ior tho screen. That is ons b.g reason wli/ audiences like him. 11l this a.ory of*long pursuits of miscreants to wrocJc vengeance upon them, Mix registers an heroic character! sati-;a. Mix does some cxccl.ent nct.n = ' as the soft-spoken two-gun man. Tony carries his master through perilous situations and aids him with hiß horso-sense. Lvnn Reynolds, who directed the picture, has made tho best of tho excellent opportunities for showing- the incompa able Mix in daim» feats. The closing scene of th s throbbm? drama of tho great W s.eri; desert is staged in the mountains, in a spot of pre.it natural erandeur. T> &av c a girl and her sweetheart from a force of pursuing rustlers, a huge rock is dropped down, a sheer difi, crushine to death many of the horsem.n. I-'-in-ning through the entire pictu- eis a powo ful, aijeorbing love etory that breathes the rugeedneas and the wholoSomeneFs of tho grea.! West. One of the biggest Burpns.-s is the discovery oi the identity of the r.iystencus Bilked rider. The second attractiqn will bo A Dangerous Pastime," in which Lew Cody is featured. This cicturc has a society setting anc has much to recommend it. Although i( has many exciting and gripping scenes then is any amount of comedy mtc eperced. Other pictures are "Bearing Litjns, comedr; "Fur Trapper*,' an educations study 'of this interesting trade; and th< latest Foz News.
