AMUSEMENTS.
“DADDY LONG LEGS.” TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY. • Laughter and tears, the chief requisites of any drama, are said to be perfectly blended in the new Fox produc“Daddy Long Legs,” which opens to-night at the Princess Theatre, with Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter in the principal roles. • Critics who have seen the photoplay report-that it gires these two popular favourites unlimited opportunities for the display of tlieir charm and talents, and that it offers the season’s treat to Gaynor and Baxter fans. ■ Janet Gaynor is seen as a little slaving orphan, who mothers the small tots in the John Grier home. Through an unexpected stroke of fate she wins the admiration and friendship of Baxter who plays the title role, - and he without revealing his identity to her adopts her and sends her to college, that point on the romance develops rapidly until it reaches its climax, a most unexpected one for Miss Gaynor. Alfred Santell directed the photoplay, which is the screen version of Jean Webster’s famous stage play of the same name. Good supports.
