AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. FRED THOAISOX A XT) SILVER. KING—TO-NIGHT. Sparklin'; with comedy, throbbing thrills, and agog with action, “ Hands Across the Border,” Fred Thomson’s most recent starring vehicle, released by Master Picture, swings into the Princess Theatre to-night, The picture is heralded hy critics as l!io best thine the popular western star lias done, wherefore it is expected that it will leave the public limp with laughter; which it probably will ! Xo western luminary ever has flashed into prominence whose pictures were so redolent of mirth as Mr Thomson’s. Coupled in the betting both for chuckles and thrills is Silver King, Fred’s famous horse, who has an even mere important role in the production than usual. Much of the action revolves around a smuggling ring which is operating near the Mexican border, but while it scintillates with speed, the picture is more outstanding as a mirth-producer than in any other respect. David Kirkland directed. The strong supporting cast includes such eminent tllespians as Tyrone Power, Bess Flowers, William Courtwright, Clarence Geldert, and Toni Snntsclii. A topical and comedy will also ho shown, together with further chapters of the new serial, “.The Silent Flyer.” On Monday and Tuesday next the big special “Beau Guest o ” will ho presented.
