SATAN IN SABLES ’’-TO-NIGHT,

Does friendship between man and man surpass in fineness, spirituality, and permanence love between man and woman? This is one of the questions of enduring interest to humanity that is raised in “ Satan in Sables,” the Warner Bros. Classic of the Screen, to he shown to-night at the Princess Theatre, and starring Lowell Sherman. In ancient Greece where the intellect held sway and was greatly gloried in, philosophers looked upon love between man and woman much as we are apt to to-day—-ns the prime motivating force of the world. However, they considered it something purely physical, something inevitable and natural, the decree of nature and nothing particularly redounding to the credit o' either person. Loves or friendships between men were many, based upc similarity of tastes, interests and intellects, and were held to he purely of the mind and spirit. Several friendships of this type which could have been called perfect love by these ancient philosophers, such as that of Damon and Pythias, have existed in history. In “ Satan in Sables,” this is the kind of love that exists between the brothers, Michael, played by Sherman, and Paul, as portayed by John Harron. Paul the younger, is the one serious interest and love of Michael’s prodigal life until Paulino Garon, as Colette, the gamine sunbeam of the Paris dance halls, comes into it. The theme of this Bradley King story, directed by James Flood, is the effect of these two loves in regenerating Michael's wasted life.

A topical and comedy complete tildisplay to-night.
