MCLEAN'S PICTURES,

PRINCESS THEATRE. On Tuesday evening, Bryant Washburn will be seen in his latest 5-rcel Paramount success “The Way of a Alan with a Alaid” a motion picture of society and middle-class life, which presents some magnificent photography in its representation of the lives of the gilded circle. But the story is an appealing one. You sympathise with the young fellow who determines to obtain the girl he loves—to take her from the supercilious protection of the prosperous broker. You are delighted with Elsa when you find out what a genuine girl she is, beneath all her love for a good time. There are many young people just like Arthur and Elsa. Elsa Owenson, the lovely stenographer means to have a good time while men are willing to treat her to the delights of social luxury. And Arthur M’Arney, clerk who has fallen in love with her finds out to his cost that it takes much money to keep up the social swirl more than he has, in fact; But he pulls through in the end. Bryant Washburn is at his best as the star in this picture, hut Wanda Hawley as Elsa, is so charm ing that you will understand why her lover is awakened to ambition and a struggle for success at the sight of her. Also a two-reel comic supports the star -
