EVERYBODYS PICTURES. “THE MAX FROM ISRODNEYK ” —TO-NIGHT. Romance glitters and lures in one of tlie finest motion j.ieturos of adventure lliis season, •• The Alan From Brodnev s,” which will be shown at the Princess Theatre to-night. This special -Master Picture, based upon the famous novel of the same name by (.s urge Parr MiOiithoou, realistically depicts the story as originally written. ■’'ll the breath of adventure of the Southern Seas, of savage natives, of erring husbands, of faithful wives and ol a great, sympathetic love are contained in this remarkable photoplay. Lavishly done, “ The Alan From Brodney’s,” literally seie.es all spectators and holds them breathless with interest. A most thrilling and realistic presentation of a .Mahometan rising against a handful of whites on a small island in the Indian Seas is screened in ‘'The Alan From Brodney’s,” with A\ arren Kerrigan once more in a hero role, and dainty Alice Calhoun placing the part of the heroine. The play told of the extraordinary adventures of a young lawyer sent out to far Japat to protect the interests of the native population in some trouble arising from the will of one of the white owners of the island. Now, it happened that ilic young man had once been in bis country's diplomatic service, and had made ft woeful lias!) of things through sheer temperamental unsuitability. Consequently he once again failed, when he found himself called upon to act as a go-between for a rather unscrupulous native leader and the house party of the white rulers of the island, whose lives lie discovered were in peril. .Mailers were further complicated by the presence of a young lady visitor to tli island, in the person of Princess Ccnevra of Rapp-Thorberg. whom he remembered meeting in rather stirring circumstances during his brief diplomatic career, lint the present situation called for direct action rather than diplomacy, so the athletic lawyer found much happiness in saving the princess and making her forget her minor troubles of the past.

On Friday Hoot Gibson will be seen in bis latest Western drama "The Riding Kid From Powder River,” also the second chapter of “The Steel Trail.” starring William Duncan and Edith Johnston.
