KAHI.K WILLIAMS. WEDNESDAY. A most entertaining pielurisation of Richard Davis’ story "Playing Dead’’ is “Hostless Souls,’ - with Earle Williams at the Princess Theatre on Wednesday. The picture is one that will appeal to all in these days of psychoanalysis. spiritualistic phenomena and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The star plays the role of a husband tvhosc wife goes in for the so-called occult sciences tiiat becomes more in loci' with neeembolism than the man she promised to love, honour, and obey. Hubby becomes disgusted with all these ravings,

and believing that his wife no Inngei loves him decides to "play dead” so that she may marry the man who has hypnotised her. An undestroyed will made before his marriage causes many amusing complications, and he is forced "to come hack to earth.” A Topical Budget, Canadian scenic, screen snapshots, and comedy will also he shown. Un Thursday next Mary Piokford, the world's sweetheart, will appear in her latest release, "The l.ove Light.” With all her glorious curls, her smile and cheerful spirit, in a new role —that of an Italian girl in a startling melodrama. "The Love Light.” It moves and cheers—it softens and refreshes—it stirs and gladdens—it charms and appeals. This big attraction will he shown at usual prices.
