G LOPJA SWANSON*—MONDAY

“ALan handled.” Gloria. Swanson's now Paramount. picture, which comes to the Princess Theatre on .Monday next a.s produced hy Allan Dwan, from Frank Tuttle’s adaptation of Arthur Stringer’s story that ran serially in “The Saturday Evening Post.” Afiss Swanson has the role of a shop girl in a department store, whose desire for beautiful clothes and a so-called good time leads her into free and easy contact with so many men that her reputation is tarnished. She learns that Ihe lore of a good man is more precious than expensive jewellery and gorgcoucs furs. In preparation for the part Gloria spent several .strenuous days of close-up study id' how shop girls in New York live. She worked for a day in one of .Yew York’s largest departments, rode in tin- subway, ale her meals in a boarding bouse and went through tbe general routine tlie average girl follows during the day. A superb caste surrounds Gorgeous Gloria. Tom Moore gives an excellent portrayal of the poor mechanic, for whom Gloria renounces all worldly pleasures. A good comedy and tlie “Fight and Win” series, starring Jack Dempsey, will complete the hill of fare on Monday next.

On Wednesday next the greatest of all western actors, Fred Thompson, assisted by his almost human lior.se “Silver King” in “The Silent .Stranger.” li is just one whirlwind of romance and adventure.

Oil Thursday next the great Australian production entitled “The Digger Karl” starring the Sentimental Pinko, Arthur Tauehert.
