TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY

“THE OTHEIR, TO-MORROW” REVEALS LOVELY BILLIE DOVE AS POWERFUL DRAMATIC AND EMOTIONAL ACTRESS.

Billie Dove in Southern style, 'ifha't how the delectable screen star ’ is served up to audiences at the Princess Theatre, where “The Other To-mor-row,” lier latest First National talking drama commences to-night and Tuesday. The story, by Octaviis Roy Cohen, offers the star in one of ' her very finest roles, the plot being laid in a small community in Georgia. There is a new Billie Dove in “The Other To-morrow.” She has successfully mastered the art of dialogue portrayal, and it may be said that she has crossed the gulf between silent and talking pictures, more sensationally than any of the former silent favorites. Billie is as wonderfully beautiful as ever, but now she proves that she is a splendid emotional actress as well as the screen’s loveliest star. Billie is shown as a bride returning to her village home with a man she married in haste after quarrelling with her former sweetheart, the man she really loves. .Her husband is insanely jealous, and at every bit of gossip about' his wife •and the other man-he flies into a rage. The wife leaves him, but is caught in a storm and spends the night at the cabin of Grant. Withers, who plays the lover. Grant Withers, the liew talkie “find,” does excellent work as the lover. He is a:.ne’W:’-type on the screen, and has a good'‘voice. Kenneth Thomson gives a suave, polished performance as the husband. Fraud Sheridan and .Otto Hoffman contribute masterly characterizations, and William Grainger given 51 mirthful comedy bit as Drum Edge, the country clerk. Scott Seaton is also present with good effect. “The Other To-morrow” gives a vivid impression of a Southern community of to-day. The rural background is a hovel one for Miss Dove, who is y§s>daily seep amid the lights and grah.deur, of a metropolitan centre. Idoyd Baepp directer the picture adapted by Fred My ton an d J ames/Al St-arr from the- original story. 'Also five- shorts.' Prices: 2s and Is 6d plus; tax.
