To-day and to-night "Tue Interloper' will be screened for the last time. To-inor-row a World drama, entitled "flio Oldest Law," will be shown. June Elvidge has the star part, and John liowcrs plays opposite to her. The popularity of these two stars is undoubted, and this picture it is claimed will add further to their popularity. For once June is seen in tho plainest of plain clothes. This is at the opening of the story, when she is living with her father in the mountains, and before she migrates to a larger city in which tho story is worked out. The climax is described as exciting to a degree, and in the later scenes Miss Elvidge's dresses have all their accustomed splendour. The picture is said to have a strong human appeal, and to be beautifully produced.
