TO-NIGHT!

TO-NIGHT I

“Stardust” based on Fannie Hurst’s oreat human interest story is the attraction at the Princess Theatre tonight. Charming Hope Hampton is seen in the stellar role as the forlorn little girl whose musical ambitions are squelched at home, but whose talent and ambitions find an outlet in the. groat city. Tinged with tragedy and pathos and fired with romance and ambjition “Stardust” proa-ides Miss Hampton with the greatest dramatic vehicle she has yet been given, and she has taken full advantage of the opportunity. James Rennie is leading man ia “Stardust”. Noel Tearle is one of the striking characters in Hope Hnmnton’s “Stnrdnet” now showing at the Princess Theatre. He port-ays the 1010 of a selfish, overbearing husband in that First National attraction, his performance in the opinion of many who have seen it excelling his remarkable fine acting in “Over the Hill”. “Stardust” was adapted for the screen from Fanny Hurst’s celebrated novel and it is not an ordinary picture—we can assure our readers unreservedly that it is one of the most appealing photodramas of the season. With a wonderful story interpreted bv a brilliant arra vof talent, the finished production is one that will long be rememlierod Ivy all who see it. A good supporting programme will also be shown including the latest Patlie Gazette and a two reel Mack Sennett comedy “Love and Hough nuts.” WOODS' VAUDEVILLE COY.

Specially engaged from says: “Clegg and Hart' scored an inmusical comedy show. Of these clever erlists the Chr.istrhurch “Press” says: “Clegg an dllarl scored an instantaneous success with a clever comedy sketch in which the male partner of the duo impersonated a much inebriated husband and his partner, a neglected wife. The various quips and jokc-s “ put over ” by the due wlere refreshingly original /and their musical numbers well above the average.” He Wilfred Niconier, Miss Alma Rush, dainty soubrette and densense.
