STRAND THEATRE.

TO-NIGHT (TUESDAY)

HEARTS ARE TRUMPS

T' e picture to he screened at the Sti-cci to-night promises to be one of exceptional enter taming power roil, according to ie-port, is a' truly coiossal screen spectacle. “Hearts aie -Trumps,” written by Cecil liaieigh, will be remembered by those who have read the story as one pf particular interest and exceptional power anc! intensity. In the production of this, cicture none of the fine dualities of The story 'have been omitted, but 3icreused volume and grip are the results, of the efforts of the directors and actor?. The fact that “Hearls Are Trumps” is played by an all-star •fcasx (a .thing that is all too rare these days) and is a super-production should guarantee full value. The one °f countless thrills, two qiiserrs, two kings, a knave —and the • deuce to play. A muffled roar like distant thunder. . • Then louder, nearer. . .

This is the proper place for Mitchell Lewis—he has found his f or te.- In “Nine-tenths of the Law" he proves this, and in such telling manner that there appears no likelihood of ur.v second man approaching his record." Twice in this picture he battles in no uncertain manner with “Red Adair.” and lovers of a good fight wiii have their expectations fully realised. “Nine-tenths of the Law” is the big attraction at tire Strand Theatre .on Thursday next. The story is one of big themes, and has a wonderful appeal, and the romance' of the big Pine forests is brought cut in convincing manner. There are dramatic moments in this drama that are gripping in their intensity, and no amount of praise can adequately describe the work of Mr Lewis as Leneau. His sympathetic handling of the role, the extraordinary insight he has into the character * of the French Canadian, make his performance a memorable one, and one that recalls his previous success in “The Barrier”
