AMUSEMENTS

RUDOLPH V A LEX Tf NO A lON DAY. The idol of the screen world Rudolph Valentino will appear ,at the Princess I heatro on Afondav next in a dynamic drama of passion and intensity entitled “Stolen Moments.” Marguerite Namara plays the leading part in this super spec ial picture, she is famous for her gorgeous voice and surpassing beauty. A terrific drama with Valentino as the mail whom all women love, whose very magnetism is a terrible and potent danger, whose heart is light, and whose conscience is dead. One girlish moments of indiscretion, followed by untold ages of doubt and repentance! Alone and helpless in the house of the man who demanded the sacrifice of her husband’s honour, so that she might protect her own good name. AVlfiit a poignant situation! A splendid story splendidly acted; the settings are of massive elegance. The lover who knew no conventions—a man the world would call a Libertine, and the girl who had once written him foolish letters. A fine supporting programme will also he screened.
