AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. “SENSATION SEEKERS” AND "THE COLLEGIANS” TO-NIGHT. A real story of our much discussed “younger generation”—but one not a tale of flappers, cake-eaters or jazzparties—is coining to the Princess Theatre to-night. Lois Welter, the screen's only woman director, lias given a new angle to this type of story and ha- an unusually well chosen and capable cast to enact her production. The lending roles are taken by Huntley Gordon and Billie Dove in this Universal-Jewel Production, called “The Sensation Seekers.” “The real story of the modern girl,” said Miss Weber, “has not been told on the screen. Tnsetd, she has been represented simply as a type. There is no type for the younger generation of today.. A few years ago they wore nothing but types hut a change has crept in. “The girl of to-day refuses to ho pigeon-holed into any particular typo. She. has a mind of her own. which is usually a very good one, and she insists on using it without domination of parental influence. The modern girl does not demand jazz parties. cocktails and Into hours nearly as much as she demands freedom of thought and action. This modern girl has certainly not been put under the niisero.Kcope in recent Mapper pictures.” The cast of “The Sensation Sockets” also includes Itaymoud Bloomer. Peggy -Montgomery. Phillips Smalley. Edith Yorke. Clarence Thompson and Xora Cecil. The supports include further episodes of the popular “Collegians” and a good comedy. A new serial will ho presented next "Friday on tilled "Strings of Steel,” starring William Desmond and Eileen Sedgwick.
