THEATRE ROYAL.
"ALF'S BUTTON." There is no doubt that |4 Alf't» Button'* ia a British triumph. Talking pictures must bo good to succeed nowadays, and success can always be gauged by box office returns: to exemplify this the management of tbo Theatre Royal have a tale to toll of large, eager audiences that last Saturday and yesterday night carao prepared for the best, and went away obviously sati&fied. Tho story of the film needs no explanation, for, as tho title indicates, it concerns a button. But the button is made out of a piece of the original Aladdin's lamp, snd ensuing complications are necessarily riotous. The production of the picture is very good, and is perhaps its most notable feature. Attention is jpven to impressionistic detail, and the slight rawness discernible in previous British films has been eradicated. Among tho players, Tubby Edlin, who takes tho part of Alf, achieves distinction.
