AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES

A AYILLIA.AI RE .MILLIS PRODUCTIOX TO-NIGHT.

“Tin’s may ruin the business, but it may make my hoy," Robert AlcAYaile .said to his taetory manager, when he turned over his business to Ids son. Noil Hamilton, for a trial year. This is one of the many interesting situations in “New Brooms,” a William do Mi He production for Paramount, coming to the Princess Theatre to-night. It is the simple story of a father trying to teach his son the fundamentals of life. Hamilton, ‘as the son, kn graduated front college and returned home filled with a set of brand new, untried ideas about everything. He is young, carefree, optimistic, and a firm anil valuable believer in the glad hand, the kind word, the ever open pocket hook. He is engaged at the opening of the picture to Phyllis Haver. She is a mercenary little piece of feminity. She misconstrues the love between Bessie Love. the little housekeeper, and Robert AleWade, the father. This makes Neil terribly unhappy and upset, lie quarrels with Phyllis, who immediately breaks off the engagement and marries another man. There follows a sequence of events which hold the intense interest of everyone to the dramatic and lovable end. There are scenes between the hither and the son which are some of the most delicately humorous scenes ever made bv Air do Alille. But they are etclied on one’s memory because of the pathos, the homey touch of a father, ~wfn> has this great love for his hoy yet cannot tell him or he close to him. A topical and comedy will complete a good programme to-night. On Tuesday Johnny Hines will appear in a riot of laughter entitled “Rainbow Riley.”
