AMUSEMENTS.

WHILE JUSTICE WAITS TO-NIGHT

To-night in i In' l’n:n Theatre a big \\ iliiitm Fox special entitled "NN liilo Justice WaiU" ami Marring Dustin J'Dtiniiin will l.e presented for one only. Supported by an admirable i-a.-l I 1 1«by Irene Kiel). Faimiin does Koine ~i the best work ot his career in this picture. Much credit U also dtie to Bernard .). Durnin.tr. who directed the production and to Don Short who besides being the cainwraiiiaii assisted in the writing of tlie story, which L one of the best that Dustin Farmini has lnut in some.

The story deals with the trials of a gold miner. Dan limit (Dustin Earuuni) find-' gold. When he returns to his home he finds a note from his wife saying that she had eloped with another. After much .searching lliinl learns that his wife had been seen withthe ieadei' id a bandit gang. He sets forth in search, of the bandit. He j.-ios the gang hoping to eateh his a lie and her lover together. Due night the church is rubbed by the members of the hand. They bring the loot to their rendezvous where it is divided. A dice game follows and Hunt wins all of the loot. He returns it to the eliureh. There lie meets n lad of about seven. The I’adre tolls Hunt that the young boy's mother would some day eorne tor tilni ; that a tmin had left the hoy at the priest's house saying that his mol her would reclaim him. In a nearby town Hunt finds his wife. She explains that the bandit lender had kidnapped her, that she had escaped and has been looking fot her husband for seven years and that the lad is their son It ends happily.

Dean liriimiuel had nothing on Join: Paul Hart, as lie is portrayed by Charles I’ay in the screen version of "A Tailor Made Alan" at the Princess Theatre to-norrow night. Those who have seen the ever loving I’ay in his rural characterisations, and have associated him with overalls, high-wafer boots and broad brimmed straw head gear, must be pleasingly surprised to see him in full evening dress, smart sport togs, and other habiliments familiar to the leisure class. And what is emphatically to the point, it is highly improbable that anyone can’t wear spilfy apparel with the ease and grace displayed by the erstwhile portrayer of ‘Tubes.” He more than plays the part of a tailor made man. he is the tailor made man, in fact, epitomizes the type of sartorial perfection.

On .Monthly next Jackie Coogan will lie seen in ‘'Oliver Twist."
