“OMAR KHAYYAM.” PRINCESS THEATRE TO-NIGHT iu-night mid on Thursday night will he screened at the Princess Theatre “I he Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” a motion picture entirely different to the usual film screened here and it provides a welcome change to the lameness so often apparent in. screen programmes. The power of the message contained in the story is so great tint many people who, upon a single viewing have not caught its entire spirit, will desire to see it again. 'I he lestilts of the technique and the artistic production of the film brought into play are astounding in their realism. Whole cities, valleys, mountains, and plains are ever before the eye as the background for tbe action of the sioiv. Here one sees a shooting star m the hr, veils through the trees of a beautiful garden, there the moon in the heavens easts a splendour over the mosques and temple of a city. The scenes are laid in Persia in the time of Omar, the tent-maker whose wonderful philosophy has become world-wide through the translations of Fitzgerald. The east is well chosen and is headed by Katherine Key and Frederick Warde. Special prices prevail for tins special picture.
