AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES “THE LAST WARNING” TO-NIGHT. “The Last AVarning” will be shown at the Princess Theatre this evening with Laura La Plante in the starring role. It is a riot, from start to finish. All the ghostly things that can happen do happen in this greatest of mystery photoplays. For sheer suspense this is tho finest piece of Art the director, Paul Belli, has ever turned out. It surpasses “The Cat and the Canary.” If you missed his forme, ..ll u-orial vehicle you shouldn’t miss this. Bui if you saw “The Cat and the Canary” you need no bidding to :; ee “The Last Warning.” The story is ah-oiii.eiy di.i'erent, however, There are limbs :,;id chills galore. You have your ’screaming audience—Breathless silence as danger lurks in the offing, then riotous laughter of relief, which literally rocks the house. Laura La Plante is delightful in the starring role. There is a, murder —in fact, two murders —a haunted theatre and ghosts warning a theatrical company to stage their show. Miss La Plante has never been more beautifully photographed. And as a versatile actress, the little blonde comedienne is in a class by hel'self. She isn't guilty of the crime —but we won’t tell, you who is. ’There are some -splendid performance in the supporting cast, notably those of Montagu Love, as the producer, Roy I)’Airy, as flic leading man, Margaret l.fivingston a.s fjlie former burlesque queen, John Boles as the understudy and many otliefls, including. Bert Roach, Mack -Swain, Burr Mclntosh, .Mine Carrie Daumery, Slim Summerville. Buddy Phelps, D’Arey Corrigan, Charles French, Tom O’Brien and Fred Kelscv The motion picture is an excellent cinematic treatment of Thomas F. Fusion’s famous, stage' play and Paul Leni 'has directed a.s only he can —with odd angles which make the very sets seem living things. For an evening of nerve-tingling excitement to stir your sluggish blood we highly recommend. “The Last AVarning.” A Topical. Scenic and Comedy will also be included in to-night display. On Tuesday Marceline Day in “Trents Last Case.” Wednesday Tven Mayan! in “Chevenne.”
