“HEARTSEASE” TO-NIGHT

A charming love story of empty pockets but full of hopes is told in “Heartsease,” the star picture in to-night’s attraction at the Princess Theatre. “Heartsease,’ a powerful picturisation of the eminently successful play by Charles Klein, presents Tom Moore, wholly delightful and debonair Irishman, in a. most attractive role. This time he is a struggling composer, still with the hold of luck that proverbially surrounds the Irish, and is appealing and" natural in every moment of the picture. The story has much charm—it is distinctly human and not the least stagey, and is presented with the' combination of artistic superiority and excellence of production. It is possible to forget, in “Heartsease” that it is a picture —which is more than one can say of many screen presentations; The one and only girl is admirably, presented by Helen iCChadwiek. On Wednesday next June Eividge will be featured iii her latest big success, “The Bluffer.” On Thursday next, : ."\tlieii Doctors Disagree,” featuring the popular Mabel Normand, and the opening chapter of the groat serial “The Mystery of 13.”

‘ISLAND OF INTRIGUE,” TUESDAY.

Mr McLean presents at the Princess Theatre on Tuesday evening the American beauty, May Allison in “The Island of Intrigue,” a story of love, intrigue and adventure, from the novel Isabelle Ostrander. “The Island of Intrigue” is a vivid story of abounding romance and adventure that gives May Allison a role of unusual fascination. It tells the story of. the abduction of a beautiful girl who is taken on a mysterious yacht to an uncharted island in the Pacific ocean-. Hero she is held for ransom, and her varied and thrilling experiences make a realistic and stirring story that shows the high-spirit-ed -girl in all her youthful vigor and co

lirage. It is a play which fires the senses and ! grips the imagination, and shows Miss Allison as an artist of rare discrimination and magnetic personal charm. It is a romance as bracing and invigorating as the breezes that sweep the island where the excitng scenes ate’ laid. The programme will also include a 'Billy West comedy, and a gazette;
