AMUSEMENTS.

“PEARLS AND SAVAGES.” TO BE REPEATED TO-NIGHT. At the Princess Theatre last night the presentation of “Pearls and Savages” was greeted with much approval b.v the large audience and the pictures were greatly improved in interest by the attractive locturette given by Captain Pearson, who formed one of Mr Hurley’s expedition. The picture gives a wonderfully realistic and interesting description of some of the wild parts of the earth about which little is really known to most of us. The scenes are selected with excellent judgment. They combine much human interest, scenic beauty and pictures descriptive of the customs of almost unknown tribes and their methods of hunting;, pillage and handicraft, and their amusements and dress, and the whole is set amidst scenery of the most beautiful character. As a whole the picture leaves one with the impression that he has actually been in these islands and has seen these forms of life in a manner second only to that which would he felt if the actual visit had been paid. The photography is of unusual merit. Ms ny of ilte coloured pictures arc- of unusual beauty and all have been chosen with high artistic tastes. Whether the picture is seen for information or interest or amusement, it would hold attention and give pleasure to both old and young of all tastes and dispositions. The picture will be again screened to-night, and should not he missed. McLEAN’S PICTURES. KRTD A Y’S PP <IOPA MM E. Jack Holt, Lila and Charles Ogle, are a wonder trio in the Paramount picture, “After the Show” which will he shown at the Princess Theatre tomorrow. From the moment Pop O’Matlcy meets Eileen, the penniless chorus girl the spectator is irresistibly drawn to the story until the final scene. Tt ha* a magnetic effect .and carries one far out of oneself. The story of two loves, so different in character, is set in a wonderful background of dazzling colour and life. Jack Holt is a. convincing “angel” of a musical show, and dainty, Lila Lee. as the chorus girl ho loves, adds a faithful portrayal. Charles Ogle invests in the role ol Pop O’Malley, the self-appointed guardian of Eileen, a realism which charms. William de Mille has produced a- masterly picture. The supporting pictures include Fatty Arbuckle in a --reel Paramount comedy ‘Oh Doctor. ’ and Jack Hoxie in “Thunderbolt Jack” and tlie latest travel pictures. Coming on Tuesday:—“The End ot the World,” and Fatty Arbuckle m “Brewster’s Millions.”
