J POtLARiyS FJCTUREt. (' CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG ! . TO-NIGHT. { To-hjight the Queen of the screen j Clara, Kimball Yoaiug will, bp seen in ; her latest success, Sir Arthur Pinero’s i greatest drama of domestic life, “Ail , Channel.” Between Folkestone and ; Boulogne is a rock which marks MidCbnineL It has wrecked many good ! vessels. Sir Arthur Pinero used this | rock as the allegorical basis for his sen- | satiwnp} play “Mid Channel” for mid channel works, the stprmy period in married life when happiness may be , wrecked on the seo of chilled love. As a, : stage play it made everybody sit up mid take notice- it is Clara Kimball, j Young’s newest brilliant drama, the most sensational success of her career since her first screen appearance. “Mid. [ Channel” is a, throbbing drama, of the ! tomptn.tions and follies of married, life so ’truthful to fact that no mature peri son will leave this powerful picture , without carrying away memories of life’s lesson. It- does not dodge the truth—it unfolds human weakness so dramatically as to strike a sympathetic chord in every heart. Duo praise for tin's maislerpjote would not be complete, j without mention of the superb, scenic ' effect and multi-coloured surrounding , that is as luxurious as it hrs been eost- , ly and which heightens the magnificence 'of the entire picture. A Pathc Gnzette and “Back From the Front” a two-reel Christie comedy will support the big attraction to-night- Pollard/s Symphony Orchestra will play n selected programme.
