McLEAN’S PICTURES.

TUESDAY—'• SECOND YOUTH.”

Alfred Lunt, leading man of “Second Youth,” a Solzniek farce comedy which will be shown at the Princess Theatre on Tuesday. Following “Clarence,” Mr Lunt repeated his earler success by another good performance in “ Banco.” He was then engaged by Distinctive Pictures and appeared in “Backbone” and “The Ragged Edge.” “Second Youth” is his third picture and unquestionably his best, as the part assigned is perfectly suited to his unusual ability as a farceur. Olive Ann Alcorn, who has been pronounced by famous artists and sculptors of national renown “ The most perfectly formed girl in the world,” will be seen in “Second Youth” the Selznick photoplay comedy at the Princess Theatre, cm Tuesday. Miss Alcorn is the product of a small mountain town in Idaho. She left home when she was sixteen years old, going to Los Angeles, where she studied dancing. She has appeared in many photoplays and during the run of 1 ' The Green Goddess ” at the Sam H. Harris Theatre on Broadway, she danced the “ Temple Devotional ” prologue to the picture. In the cabaret scene in “Second Youth,” Miss Alcorn does a dance similar to the one she created and danced at il Illustrators Ball in New York in 1923 a dance which created an instantaneous sensation and did more than anything else t.c> cause the Shuberts to take over the entire show and produce it as the now famous “ Artists and Models.” A two reel comedy “The Rent Taker” gazette, scenic “East of Suez” will support this tine programme. McLean’s Supreme Orchestra will render the incidental music, and usual prices will prevail. - Friday—“ The Steadfast Heart” Saturday—Rube Do Reiner in “Luxury.”
