EVERYBODYS PICTURES. ••COMING THROUGH” TO-NIGHT. Thomas .Meighan’s latest Paramount starring; picture-, ‘Coining Through, ’’ adapted to the screen from the novel, ‘‘Bedrock,” by Jack Bethea, comes to the Princess Theatre to-night. The story is a. romance of the Alabama coal mines and features Lilia Lee opposite the star, with Wallace Beery, Laiiranee Wheat and others at the head of a strong supporting cast. “Coming Through” marks Miss I.ee’s pardon, Mrs J. Kirdwood’s return to the screen after a year’s absence. “Coming Through” brings Tom to the screen' in the role of a mine superintendent who, despite the fact that ho is assigned to the toughest of mining
m<mi's and everyone seems bent on mossing tilings up for him, “conies through gloriously, cleans out the lawless elements, improves the discipline and increases the general efficiency of the mine. They didn’t think he could do it ? He’d show them ! —and he does, in one of the most entertaining pictures the “Good JbUck” star has been seen in for many a long day. Coal miners in the Birmingham district who for years have worked underground by the light of carbide lamps fastened to their caps got a new glimpse of their cavernous underworld recently when Thomas Meighdii’s company, under the direction of .Kdward Sutherland, descended to the interior of a mine at Newcastle tounake scenes for “Coming Through.’’ Never before has tho gloomy interior of a coal mine been so brilliantly illuminated. If you can imagine a small coal car equipped with headlights ton time* as brilliant as any automobile headlight, plunging along through the narrow shaft, rounding sharp curves and revealing fantastic vistas of cavern and jagged wall, you can understand why the i hardened old coal miners watched in ; awe and wonder. Their old stamping i ground was completely transformed. A topical, comedy and serial completes the programme to-night. On Saturday, the great startling picture entitled “The Code of tho 1 Sea,” will be presented. !i —; • min ±-
