AMUSEMENTS.
EVERYBODY 3 PICTURES.
SALLY OF THE SAWDUST” —TO-NIGHT.
For entertainment, for tears tossed away by laughter, for lovable character and the quick tread of exciting action, never has D. W. Griffith done anything finer than in his newest picture “ Sally of the Sawdust,” a United Artists Corporation release, to bo presented at the Princess Theatre tonight. This hearty comedy is one /•' the truly master productions of this or any other, interesting from rim to core with the most winning drolleries, the gayest laughter, sudden sighs and the drift of a tear stopped by outbursts of mil'll;, woven throughout with a suspense of urgent action that becomes as exciting at the close as anything this great producer has ever done. It brings into sure stardom one who has long been knocking at the door—Carol Dempster who has now conquered her art with sureness and zest. As Sally AlcGiuglc, she is 'of the stuff of which stars are made, a mud-cap. winsome little rogue of courage and vitality, living a role which must become memorable among the great roles of the screen. With this greatest success of her career is linked that of \V. C. Fields, appearing as the inimitable Prof. Eustace AlcGarglo, juggler, entertainer. and occasional rogue given to plundering a strange pocket. The genius of Fields has long been accepted on the theatrical stage, he now being one of the greatest of comedy stars, featured in Ziegfehi " Follies.” Never has Mr Griffith dressed one of his pictures more lavishly nor more beautifully. Scenes of richest luxury float past in variety and without emphasis. Here a glimpse of beautiful tableaux and they are gone. Here is tt picture that is good for your amusement : it is good for your soul ; it is good for Griffith and his players, and it is good for the world of pictures. Too rich amusement, it is. for anyone to miss, it is the sweetest of laughter and isn’t that the best of life? Go and see it. Coming Monday and Tuesday. Sept. 20th and 21st.: "The White Sister.”
