FVERYBODYB PICTURES. “ THE OPENING NIGHT ” -TO-NIGHT. iClaire 'Windsor ,plays the leading part in “ The-Opening Night,” a Columbia picture showing at the Princess Theatre to-night. She is ably supported by ,jJohn -Bowers, Alyn .Warren, /.Grace Goodall, Hobby .Hack. A tense and moving drama of human emotions. A poignant story of a man’s great sacrifice for those lie loved. Action—gripping and throbbing changes swiftly against the shifting ' backgrounds of the theatre, the sea, and a .Newfoundland fishing village. The .■reality of portrayal by a superb cast tightens tb.e Jieartrst rings, and brings a lump to the throat. None but will sympathise with the unifortunate man iwji.o, ■ because of the pul! of love, knew ;himsejf for a coward, while others mourned him as a hero. Sequences o*f -domestic bliss are followed by scenes of .intense agony and mental suffering in -which ,a .noble character lives to die a thousand deaths —so near, and yet so Jar from those lie* loves. A page of 'human life .with its queer twists and ;strange .adventures set against a moving background v,of the theatre, the high seas, and a Newfoundland fishing village. . ; The usual supports will -also be rahown. On Wednesday, Patsy Ruth'Miller and .George Sidney in “ Heart of A Nation.” ... ~ r .
