AMUSEMENTS.

“MAX AND WOMAN." TO-NIGHT. A sure enough burst of sunshine is what one immediately culls Diana Allen tlie Ziogfeld Follies Star, the moment she appears upon the screen in the new Jans picture “Man and Woman,’’ which is coming to the Princess Theatre 10-night. It is (loubful if there has been a. super-special presented this season which will so surely please patrons in general; which is so compact with hrilling situations and which so logically leads to a surprising climax as does this characterisation of the regeneration of two souls; one a man cast aside by the inertia of his own discouraged self, and the other careless, frivolous inconsiderate and pampered butterfly of fashion. The author of this entrancing story of careless girlhood and discouraged man is Charles A. Logue, who is responesihle for many successes. The cast is extraordinary in its personnel, presenting as the leads, darling Diana Allen, sweet and petite in her rosy, care-free youth; with big virile Joe King opposite her. The scenes were filmed in one of the most marvellously beautiful islands of the tropics. Tahiti, wTiich insures pleasure to the eye ns well as to the senses. An extraordinary east has been provided in support of -Miss Allen ami presents such names as Joe King, John L. Slime. Herbert Standing and many others. The story, though intensely thrilling anil developing numerous spirited situations is perfectly clean, and while it has to do with the age old conflict cl the sexes for supremacy, if is presented in such :> manner as to merit the highest praise. The latest Graphic and a two-reel comedy “The Riot” completes, r. fine bill of fare.
