“LITTLE OLJ) NEW YORK” -TO-NIGHT'.

Jack Dempsey and Louis Firim still occupy the limelight in their battle for fistic honours, but it’s only an old story which has been, oft repeated. A hundred years ago liicn were just as keen over encounters in the squared circle. Evidence is given of this In -Marion Davies’ forthcoming picture,

Little Old Now York,” which will bo screened to-night. In this delightful screen story, which has been adapted from the successful stage play by Rida Johnson Young Marion Davies as “Rat” O’Day breaks up a thrilling light by ringing the fire-bell. Big Louis Wolheim and Harry Watson, both well known to stage and screen, arc. the participants in the contest and the old tire house is filled with a crowd of yelling men. “ Rat ” creeps into the hell tower and soon the old bell is dunging out a warning summons—ana just as the Hoboken Terror is about to deliver a knockout blow! The. confusion which follows is indescribable', and frightened. fair-haired little

“ Rat ” is soon the centre of as unique and stirring a scene as has over been thrown on the screen. In spite of the fact that nearly every woman longs for the slim graceful figure which will enable her to wear masculine attire becomingly, it is a fact well recognised by artists and modistes that very few women really look well in men’s clothes. Hut. there is an exception in Marion Davies in the piquant and adorable role of “Rat” O’Day. in the Cosmopolitan picture. “ Little Old New York,” adapted to tile screen from the stage success bv Rida Johnson Young, and which opens at the Princess Theatre to-night.
