TO-NIGHT,

10-night patrons will welcome the return to the. screen of Earle Williams in a illtie Ribbon feature by the Vitagraph Coy “A Rogue’s Romance.” It tells of a man who could be a thief and yet be a gentleman. And yet—was Monsieur Pcard a thief? Rid lie not, after all do much more good than he did harm? If a priceless necklace disappeared from a .gorgeous ballroom, did it not re-appenr in the form of bread for homeless little children. He had won the Croix de Guerre on France’s fields of honour yet, hack in his tailored society clothes, he returns to his old game looting the jewels of women, and their hearts as well. Here is compelling drama, ending in a Crashing climax, and skilfully threaded through the story are gay scenes of ballroom and tavern, Apache dances and countless flashes of gay night life, A special feature in to-night’s programme is another side-splitting comedy, entitled “Home §weet Homo” featuring the popular comedian .Larry Semon. The third chapter of “The Mystery of 13,” will also be shown.

Coming Monday Fanny Ward in “The Cry of the Weak.”

FRIDAY’S PROGRAMME

The picturisation of Elinor Glynn’s tremendous novel “The Career of Katlirine Bush,” starring charming Catherine Calvert, will be presented at the Princess Theatre on Friday evening. It is a daring story, pieturising the amazing history of a woman’s soul. The story argues that one must see life — and that in making the first plunge it was desirable that it be with a person of refinement. She was quite untroubled by what the world calls morality, and she had no scruples! She had tasted the tree of knowledge with her eyes wide open, and learned that the fruit she had eaten was too dangerously sweet for continuous food! She bad beauty and brains—-and nothiqg else and used men, too—to gain her heart's desire. But do you think she could live her own life, regardless, and win? Hie supports include “The Grcv Seal” and a Gazette.
