AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES " SUMMER BACHELORS ” WEDXKSDAY. Ii is doubtful if even Warner Fabian anticipated the tremendous popularity of iiis latest novel, •• Summer JlacJielors.” Appearing serially in .McClure's magazine, it proved a miracle circulation builder for that monthly. I’ublislicd as a book it has kept the presses of Houi and Eiveright busy night and day in an attempt to keep up with the demand for the novel. And now Eox I'dins lias made a moving picture version ol it which is becoming even more popular than the book itself. This may be accounted for, in part, by the fact that Allan Dwun directed the production and Madge Bellamy with what is said to be a million dollar cast, interpreted the principal roles. Lost there be a doubt in the minds of some wives that their husbands do not piny while they are away, as pictured in

“ Summer Uachelors,” let them see this satirically instructive and always amusing photodrama. Perhaps all husbands arc not like the ones shown in “Summer Uachelors,” who dive for a telephone booth to call up their favourite blonde as soon |,as the little wife steps on the train. Hut enough of them there are, to make every wife sit up and take notice. Wives should not miss this splendid expose of our jazz age. Even if they do not agree with the truth of the theme, they will find themselves laughing and wondering just the same. The list of stars who play important roles in “ Summer Uachelors,” which is to he shown at the Princess Theatre on Wednesday includes such well known names oT stage and screen as Allan Forrest, Matt Moore, Hale Hamilton, Olive Tell. Walter Catlett. Leila TTyams, Clifford Holland and Charles WTiininger. The latest in. topicals and a good two reel comedy complete the display. Usual prices will be charged.
