AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. “IX FAST COAIPANY”—TO-NIGHT. •Mildred Harris, the dainty young screen star, has always l>een identified with pictures in which she played young girl roles of a quiet nature. Nice tillage belle stuff, or clinging heroine types .surrounded l>v sighing, country swaims or well-bred city chaps, who made love according to their standards. Nothing rough ever occurred to disturb the serenity of her picture existence. Then she was cast lor leading women opposite Richard Talniadge, “the star of a thousand thrills, in a fast moving stunt picture “ In Fast Company,” which is to he shown at the Princess Theatre, to-night, and had her first taste of what it i.s like to play opposite a strenuous star who starts his thrill day with his breakfast. Furthermore, she was subjected to the tactics of villains, compared to which the kidgloved had men of her previous screen experience were all bogus and imitation. The first day at work, she had to climb tip the fire escape of an eightstory window, run across the roof and leap to the roof of another building. Alter that it was just one thrill after another, from being rescued out of a window nine stories in tllic air. to being dragged from an automobile running close to the edge of a high cliff along a mountain road. The stunts in between were numerous, hut she lost twelve poundis while the picture was being made—and liked it. She says she is willing to try another if she can play opposite young Talniadge in whom she has the utmost confidence no matter how daring the thrill or how risky the stunt they arc asked to perform. fn Fast Company ” is a Carlos production made for the Truart Film Corporation, and the third made by Talliiadge in Ids series for that company. It is a punchy picture packed with sensational incidents, yet containing a strong love story lightened with plenty of comedy. Special attraction— A’alter Vernon and (linger, world famous entertainers in ventriloquism, comedy and monologue solos. Prices as usual. On Friday next Zano Grey’s great story “The Heritage of the Desert” will lie shown, and on Monday next Bebo Daniels and Richard Dix in a special Paramount entitled “Sinners in Heaven.”
