PICTURei. r I’olWd’s present at'the. Princess The t atro oh Monday niglit Alice Brady and 3 David Powell in “ller Great Cliance”, 1 a screen picturisation of Fanny Hurst's 1 novel, (j olden Fleece. Tile magnetism 3 of Alice Brady’s charm is very apparent 1 in this picture, as in the character of 3 the simple shop girl she has no’ oppori tunity to dress lavishly. In the plaini est of gowns she retains the admira- •! tion and interest’ just' as surely 1 as in s her more luxurious productions. Her - role calls fcf versatility and delicate • handling and she never for a moriient' i lets tlie interest flag. David Powell gives worthy support’ as a millionaire’s l j spendthrift son, and his characterisa- ■ |tion of the part repels as well as attracts and leaves nothing to be desired! “Jones Keeps House” (a Vitagraph jeomcdy), “Castles of England,” i.nd ! a jPathc Gazette are also*to bo screened’ on Monday opening. !
