AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES.

TWENTY-ONE ” TO-XIGIIT,

One of the most delightful screen stories ever presented will lie on view ;it the Princess Theatre to-night, bringing lib-hard Barthclmcss hack to the silver sheet in a tale of modern times, after his two recent, appearances in period costume dramas. The photoplay is “ Twentv-one,” the most delightful modern romance ever screened. As a 19-yearold youth, who leaves home to hide his identity in New York until he becomes of age, so that he may defeat the plans of rich parents to prevent his marriage to a poor girl, liarthelmess is cast in a role admirably suited to his talents and again distinguishes himself. The star gives a most sympathetic characterization as young Julian -McCullough, and the work of Dorothy .Mac-Kail, appearing opposite him as Lynnie Willis, forlorn little factory girl, who becomes innocently compromised with the young man, is a finished achievement. There are some high power dramatic moments in this film, notably the thrashing that Julian receives from his father when he announces his willingness to marry l-yimie, and again the part that the young man plays in defeating a gang id' automobile thieves who had singled out his parent as a victim. Also, another touch of novelty is added when Bartlmlniess, as Julian, is seen earning his living hv driving a taxicab in .Manhattan. There is a powerful denouement which rights the young man’s upset romance and leaves the audience feeling that it has just witnessed an entertainment of outstanding merit. Drink at the fountain of youth and he voting again just for to-night. The latest in Tnpicals ami a two-reel comedy completes a grand programme.
