AMUSEMENTS.

McLEAN’S PICTURES. SHERLOCK HOLMES, TO-NIGHT McLean's present to-night, John Barrymore, whose screen appearances have been marked by quality rather than quantity, in a characterisation which lie has declared to l>e the most interesting lie lias ever made—none other than fiction's greatest detective Sherlock Holmes. “Sherlock Holmes” was directed by A 1 Parker. Perhaps no other character in fiction, is so universally liked and known, and from all indications, the same universal interest is attaching itself to the picturisntion of the famous defective story. Aside from the magnet of having so distinguished an actor essay tbe stellar role, the supporting cast has been chosen with .such definite care and detail, that it reads like a roster of the best known players of the stage and screen. In fact, the making of the picture was delayed until every character down to the most unimportant super, was perfectly east. In the east of players occur such distinguished names as Carol Dempster, who plays the role of Alice Faulkner; Roland Young, who is the Hiitbfill AYatson. and Gustave von Sovll'ertilz, who gives an amazing portrait of the despicable Professor Moriarty. Ilodiht Hopper, Antlers Randolph. Pereiv.'il Knight, Lnmsden Hare Louis WV.iieim, John AVillard and Reginald Denny are also in the roster. A good supporting programme will be screened. Prices for Ibis special attraction are 2s and Is fid. Reserve seats at Mclntosh’s.
