H.B. WARNER IN “FUR A WOMAN’S HONOUR” TO-NIGHT

11. 1:1. Warner has another excellent picture hi “For a Woman's Honour,” a storv whose scenes are mostly laid in India, and which recalls Earner’s celebrated work in “The Beggar of CawupThe , omhinatinn oi an d.t i nress blackmailing innocent people, j the intrigues of a wily opiitin smuggler. I and the self sacrifice of a young English , doctor go to make this one of Warner’s | most, attractive plays. A strong cast supports the star, and the settings tiro all that could be desired, those of Eastern locale being exceptionally well cartied out. Extraordinary care has been taken, and no expense has been spared, lit make this production colourful and, convincing in atmosphere. The crooked streets, (plaint houses, picturesque bazaars, with their swarming and interesting Hindus and their usual paraphernalia. make graphic and interesting scenes. The dancing of the nautili

girl, too. leaves little to tho imagination. it is so realistically performed. lI.H. Warner will add further to his laurels for his interpretation of tho voniig .\tiglo-Tndian doctor. The supporting picture in Wednesday’s display are Topical Budget. Outing Chester scenic and New Zealand nows.

On Thursday, the mighty sequel to Elyoor Olynn’s “Three Weeks” entitled “One Hour” will he the big attraction. “One flour” is tbe screen adaption of tj'e widely discussed novel that suceeeded Elitt'T Glvn’s “Three Wool*;." and furnishes the best opportunities that '/ena Keefe ever bad to shew what her abilities are. This beautiful star eives a tender, moving impersonation of the tragic little princess who only wanted' to live quietly in the love of the mail whom fate had willed to be her perfect mate. Tito production is beyond the aevrage. some of tbe scones of tbe snow-covered Canadian woods being rarely beautiful. Convincin', to a degree and delicately bandied so as to give no offence even to tbe most fastidious. “One Hour” is a picture whose interest surpasses that of tbe novel which gave it birth. Pollard’s orchestra will supply the musical programme.
