AMUSEMENTS.

Harold lloyd i.v “safety LAST,” WEDNESDAY.

Harold Lloyd in “Safety Last,” his most marvellous seven-reel comedy, full of thrills, that has taken New Zealand hy storm, will he shown at the Prince.ss Theatre on Wednesday next. Almost every cameraman in Los Angeles was brought to the assistance of Walter Luiidin, head photographer of the Harold Lloyd stall' in filming “Safety Last,” wherein Lloyd climbs twelve stories of a Los Angeles building, and it was to shoot his work from every angle that the extra cameramen were on the job. Thousands gathered to watch Lloyd ]>erfonn what are guaranteed to he the most thrilling “stunts” ever seen on a motion picture screen. The thrills of “High and Dizzy,” and “Never Weaken” are dwarfed hy “Safety Last.” Lloyd never has appeared to better advantage. Acting, rather than stunts, put this picture over, and unquestionably will make it rate highest in the list of comedies. A good supporting series will also he shown, and the prices for this hig attraction are: Circle 2s, stalls Is Gd, children Gd.

On Thursday next a hig First National will he shown entitled “Flaming Youth.” the startling society expose to which the author dared not sign his real name! It is from the novel by “Warner Fabian." “Flaming Youth” features Colleen .Moore in the leading role, and she is ably supported hy an all-star caste, including Milton Sills, Elliott Dexter. Sylvia Brcaincr, Myrtle Stedman and Ben Lyon. This hig production is directed hy John Francis Dillon.
