“END OF THE WORLD”—TUESDAY

Mr Mcl-ean presents on Tuesday a grand double programme headed by a big special entitled “The End of the World” will be shown. Shanghai—notorious as the cross-road of the world where the glow of “The Paper Lantern” nightly draws an exchanging motley crowd—from many lands and c:f every tongue. Here it was that Cherry O’Day whose father’s selfish love had moulded her to his cynic's creed, that reckons with everything, but a woman’s soul, ruled as queen of the gambling hell. Then the end of the world. The second picture shows Itoscoc (Fatty) Arbueklo in "Brewster’s Millions.” He was given two millions so that he wouldn’s have to work, and then offered ten to spend it in one year. Brewster was a relative of the owl—he was wise. Most of his friends thought otherwise. Still Monte Brewster was all there tiding his darndest to s|>eud his fortune, hut all his wild cat schemes came homo with kittens until he hit the hig idea. One can have too much of a good thing, so his friends thought, and they enlisted the aid of Peggy, and Brewster married her and broke his contract. But Peggy saved .enough of his fortune to earn him the reputation of a financier and so reconciled his grandfather. Only one laugh, hut iis from first title to fade
