“TJIEY LIKE ’EAI ROUGH”— TO-NIGHT.

Viola Dana, the vivacious little Aletro 1 star, will be seen to-night, at the - Princess Theatre in her latest photoplay, “They Like ’.Em Rough.” In the role of Katherine Trowbridge Aliss Dana has one of those parts which fit 1 her like the proverbial glove and which give every opportunity for tlie —arm, sprightliness and vivacity with which | her screen acting i.s associated. “They I Like ’Eim Rough” is the story of a girl who had a peculiar aversion to authority— who wanted to do everything she was forbidden to do and nothing that she was required to do. Discovering that her aunt and uncle aware of this streak of perversity, were [Jotting her marriage with a very eligible young man bv apparently opposing the match, she in turn decides to revenge .herself on them by going out and marrying, the first man she meets. And she does. He happens to he a roughlooking customer with a, heard and hob-nailed hoots and a, lumberman's mackinaw. After the knot i.s tied by a justice of tlie peace, Katherine hands him tlie 8100, she had offered him to marry her and says, a.s she steps into her roadster, “Thanks a lot. ‘See you again some time, maybe.” “Yes,” says the lumberman. “You’ll see me from now on,” and lie jumps into her ear, take-, the wheel and drives her to the logging camp in the mountains, of which lie is boss. The rest of the story is concerned with the efforts of the cave man husband to reduce her to a. proper state of humility, her escape from the camp, and her film! discovery that the man whom she has married is not quite the rough cave man lie has pretended to he. A Hal lloach comedy, Gazette and Serial will conclude this gigantic programme. Ak'Lcnn’s Orchestra will rentier the incidental music, and usual prices will prevail. Tuesday—The greatest of all pictures “.Missing Daughters”, with an all star cast.

If is comedy, and is packed wilh laughs, it has.au element of drama and a human interest story, hut the comedy, plus some wonderful riding and last shooting, is the chief entertainment feature. It’s the story of a cow hoy w ho played bandit to please his girl, who had her ( \vn romantic notions, and preferred bad heroes to good cowboys ot negative heroic temperament. Tlie cowboy gets involved in a lot ol trouble when Elie girl’s lather, a straight shooting j.hi'iilf. gels on hi), trail, which male's a lot ol fun lor the audii'iiee. Laura I.a i’laute makes an adorable heroine. An lnteriiafional News and Century comedy, with Boiietti's Orchestra completes a line programme.
