MCLEAN'S PICTURES,

“HARD BOILED,” TUESDAY

On Tuesday evening at the Princess Theatre* Mr McLean presents Dorothy Dalton in “Hard Boiled.” If you were a show-girl stranded in a village and a sweet-faced old lady took you into her home and mothered you, would you play the “Vamp” if necessary to save her cottage from foreclosure, by a pious old skinflint? See “Hard Boiled” for the answer. She was “Hard Boiled” the villagers said, because she was a stranded show girl. But she proved that she had a: heart when it came to a question of fooling an old skinflint hypocrite to save the home of her benefactress. Did she do right?
