McLEAN’S PICTURES. A -SCOTS’ NIGHT FRIDAY. ‘■The Fortune of Christina M’Xal/’, a “Westminster" film picturisatiou of Sarah Macnaiighton's famous novel of the same title, which is to he screened at the Princess Theatre on Friday night by McLean's Pictures, is the most amusing and beautifully staged romances ever put upon the screen—and tho credit ot the whole of this clean, delightful entertainment belongs to Britain. In brief, the story recounts tlie adventures of a little Scotch girl whose “close'’ father dies leaving her an unexpected legacy of £30,000 a year. Naturally thrifty, Christina is tit a loss to know how she can make a hole in this huge amount of money, but she conceives a notion that such a fortune at least entitles her to marriage to a lord. Her engineer sweetheart, although somewhat taken aback by litis propositi, decides, it is useless to contradict a woman and docs his best to help ( hrislina “bat e her fling.” Christina's efforts to acquire tlie rudiments of style in an English family are very humorous, and at lasi, unable to properly got used to society ways, in a tit oi p.iqiio. site decides to spend her money in making soci.'ty stoop to her. Christina i' really a beautiful girl, with plenty of dry humour, a picturesque brogue, and suffi)lent money to wear line i lollies ami hold big functions.' So, tu a large extent- site succeeds both socially and mn trillion hilly, but at the last moment, when she lias already booked her Hake and everything is ready for wedding bells, an opportune and perhaps accidental ( ?) intrusion of her old sweetheart pulls her back into the realms of romance, and a new idea in engagements brings the picture to a delightful finish. 'I lie humour, tin- settings, the dresses and the people ~f the picture arc worthy of all tb<* praise we can bestow. It is a. picture nut to he missed on any account. A programme of special Scottish music will he rendered by McLean's Supreme Orchestra. A strong supporting programme* will also be* shown. Reserves at. Miss M-d nto-sh’s.
