“A DAUGHTER OF EVI THURSDAY.

On Thursday evening (no pictures Wednesday, owing to the Irish concert) PolhmPs present an all British film.

•“A Daughter of Eve” starring Violet Hopson and Stewart Rome. The story tells of it murder mystery that keeps you quivering with tho intensity of Ms unfolding. You see the wrong man accused, found guilty by twelve of i is fellow-men sentenced and on his way to meet his maker—surely nothing can intervene to save him. The girl ho loves reads the result of the trial and sentence in a. paper two days old—she can save him if she is only in time—sue rushes for a car and speeds eyes out for th,. prison to arrive too late. Sho inils senseless. Then comes the denouncement, the smashing surprise of die whole story. It must be seen to lie believed, 'lliis is a typically British story, with Britain’s two foremost stars Violet Hopson and Stewart Rome, in the leading roles. Stewart Rome is •■onsidered the handsomest actor in Britain to-dav. Although a drama there is plenty of real comedy to relieve die tensity of tho situations, and the nroduotioii is oil a scale of lavishness seidom equalled. Further chapters of the serial “Smash ing Barriers” will be screened and Pollard’s Orchestra will supply the music.
