IScLEAN’S PICTURES. J'HOMA S M EIGH AN—TO-NIGHT. One of the best photoplays seen in many months is- Thomas Meighan’s latest Paramount picture, “The Ne’er-Do-Well ” which will be given its first showing at the Princess Theatre tonight. The story, by Bex Beach is based on the regeneration idea. Kirk Anthony (Thomas Meighan) lives up to the title of the production, and his father is thoroughly ashamed of him.. One night at a party his friends are feeling gay and they decide that it would be a good joke oil the unsuspecting Kirk to ship him to Panama penniless. So it is that Anthony finds himself far from home and with no means of communication. Then the thrilling moments and mirth provoking episodes begin. He gets himself into great trouble with the authorities and, more serious still, finds himself desperately in love with a beautiful Spanish girl, piaved by Lila Lee. How lie becomes a real man and wins a charming woman for his wife make an interesting story. The cast is made up of highly capable players, including Gertrude Astor. John Miltern. Gus Weinberg, Jules Cowles, Laurnnce Wheat and George O'Brien. A stunning two-reel Mack Sennett comedy entitled “By (billy.” and American gazette will also be. screened. McLean's Supreme Orchestra will render appropriate selections and usual prices will prevail. Saturday:—Dustin Farnum in “Big I lappiness.”
