AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODY? PICTURES

\ all talking programme

Again to-night,

“Ivid Gloves’’ tlie all-talkie picture was screened ' very *• successfully last night 'and will be repeated again this (Wednesday) evening. “Kid Gloves’’ is another crook picture but a crook picture with a difference. The story is unique, so is the photography, the staging aiid the direction. Th j superb cast is headed by the most popular of motion picture stars, Conrad Nagel, who again,: essays one of those hardlisted 'voles in' which he' excels Lois Wilson is loVely as a young society i girlj who, by an unexpected turn' ot T events’, "finds herself the storm centre S°f a gun'battle. Later, cariiecl ■ into -tlie apartment of Lou a shoplifter by. \the taxi-driver, she is revived ny. “Kid | Gloves” Smith, hijacker, who had been the instigator of the scrap on the highway. The strange lady is in reality the fiancee of a rich and corrupt poli-

tical leader, who has been having her shadowed. The spy had seen her enter the apartment in the arms of the driver, followed by the notorious “Kid Gloves,” and at once reports to his boss, who arrives in a rage, caljs a justice and forces Ruth to marry the Kid. It is then that the really whirl-wind action begins and rushes .on .with, sit-.-/nations, startling and absorbing, play--. / ea with zest rarely . equalled. “Kid \ Gloves” is real, old-fashioned, melodrama broughtj up to the minute. You’ll root for it—as everybody who went to see it last night at tli 1 Princess Theatre is now doing. Tlie support's, two short talkies, were' filso of the best and will be repeated to-night.

“EILEEN”

History repeats itself in “Eileen,” the First National British picture to be shown at the Princess Theatre tonight. The story on which this photoplay is based is an original one by the famous British author, H. de Vere Stacpoole, and has been transferred io (he screen by the renowned British producer, Graham Cutttf. With some of Britain’s leading character actors and actresses enterpreting the various parts “Eileen” will be appreciated by every picture patron. The supports are two all talkie short comedies.
