AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. ‘■THE J l EPO” TO-NIGHT. I lie ra-i' of the daring aviator who Min Bed ti!<■ perils of the air to meet an ignominious fate beneath the wheels ol a peddler's push cart, seems to have liccn paralleled in motion picture annals. .John Sain poll's, famous featured player of screen and speaking stage, whose entire life has hcon closely assocmted with the must romantic side ol theatrical work, has discovered that v. hat promises to he his most important ro|.- reveals him in a characterisation in which lie must appear absolutely without romantic inclination- a. colourh--’ “average” husband. The role is that of •‘Andrew.” the husband, in Gasnior's screen version of "The Hero”, a new LUhtman attraction to he seen at the Princess Theatre to-night. Gaslon Gins.-,, handsome and debonair, 1 lot lied in the uniform lie wore with such distinction during the World War, has been given the role that is surrounded by all the vintner that might he expected to accompany a trio of de-

corations. l-.ven the jov of having the bountiful Ikirbara La Man- for his screen wife is diminished by the knowledge that her smiles and admiration bn' i he'p-ict ure. ol course.-- belong to Gkts-. “Strangely enough. I enjoy the part more than anything T ever have done on the screen or stage,” said Mr Kanij oli,s. “Mr Enterv has provided reinarkalile a story that every part is lancinating to the player. I lee! that the offering of such a production to the picture going public is a distinct advance in the history of the screen. Those who have intimated that the giving of such pictures to movie audiences would not prove .successful only show their lack of knowledge of theatre goers." A Topical and tworetd comedy completes a line display. Miss Williams orchestra and usual prices.
