TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY

"COSTELLO CASE.”

“Personally supervised by James Cruze,” the line which appears with each production of this nationally

famous director, means even more J than it says, according to those who * have watched the maker of The Covered Wagon,” “Costello Case” and other sensational photoplay hits, at work. “Costello Case” will be shown at the Princess Theatre to-night with 'l Tom Moore, Lola Lane, Russell Hardie, • Roscoe Karns and Wheeler Oakman in the featured roles. Cruze never gets tired. Just so long as there’s a detail which he has not fully settled to his own satisfaction it may be even the casting of a comparatively unimportant “bit”—he *emains on the job until his problem is off

his mind. In the selection of stories which his recently formed producing organisation, James Craze, Tne., turns into photoplay hits and in the casting of each role, from the star down to the player of the smallest role, Cruze nevei delegates any work which he feels it his duty to carry out. Y ' While the story is being translated ; into screen form Cruze is always on hand, and. although he himself did not direct “Costello Case” • his unfailing touch is evident throughout the talkie. Walter Lang furnished the direction for the talkie, which is based on a story by F. McGrey Willis, who also provided dialogue nd continuity. Good supports.
