AMUSEMENTS.

“SLIPPY AIcGKK.” MONDAY. Uii .Monday IU'M at the Princess Theatre :iiii>tliur ill' the fopulur .Kit si Nath.mil 1 iutiiius will he shown entitled "Sli])| y Air Gee” w ith :i very hi;' i ;isi including Colleun .Monro. Wheeler Oat-.man, Sam Do flrus.su. Sn slur is lost wu over once have seen. Wu always may In* wliat we might have hue n l.:t\v or la v. lussiius.s ! I ho light of fixitli nuvur outiruly dimmed—this is thu greatest creed that suffering and patience hits brought to Immunity. Because it is enduring. it hits continually houn ahle to inspire mill iutercst through thu centuries. “(Slippy McGee” stole because lo was proud oi his art: hut through the years of purloining superiority there always lay the hope tliat the day would come when he uould sound ‘Taps' on thu burglar's hit and blow a 'Reveille' fur thu faith he had prayed for uncoils iuiislv, at the same time his lips formed the word VriV fur the first time. Wheeler Oakum n. in the title rule, tells tin's story in appealing and tlnuoughlv convincing manner. Colleen Moore and Sam De (Ir.asse are the oilier pi ineipals. ■‘Slippy Met lee” is one of those unostentatious home spun gems that neeasioi.ally grips into the rush, of life and leaves an elfaeealde mark of tenderness and appeal. The scenes are set amid the contrasting streets cf the poor and the aristocratic old mansions. The role of “Slippy Mi Dec” is made a triumph by Wheeler linkman, whoso flushings hut ween the physical and mental are the host work he ever has done. Sum De CTas.se is a superb contrast ns a priest. Colleen Moure, dignifiedly “grown up,” and roguishly blossoming, a Seuthern school gill, lias the feminine lead. A two reel Comedy and “Perils of the Yukon” will also he shown.
