THE LION AND THE LAMB.

“The Lion and the Lamb,” E. Phillip® Oppenheim’s thriller, has gamed rather than lost by its screen adaptation. It will, be .screened at tne Princess Theatre to-night only. The friim is centred about the criminal of a band of criminals known a s “The Lambs.” The young Earl of Leinster shire, a- titled Londoner, and the hero of the is-tory, is accidentally dragged into the band because Inez, the woman in the organisation; taken a fancy to him. There is a ruling among the “Lambs” that no one. of their organisation can leave except through death. The young Earl of Lemstershire, decidedly not a criminal, and in addition, in love with the young lady whose home they plan to rob, has no intention of remaining with them or of dying in their services. How he triumphs over the master mind of the gang and brings about their arrest, is depicted iii a thrilling manner. Walter Byron, youthful English leading man, gives an intelligent performance as the Earl of Lem.stoi • shire. Carmel Myers,-“a-s- the gangster’is Moll, is seductive and alluring. Othc's in the cast who interpret their roles in the right- manner are Miriam Seega, Raymond Hatton and Montagu Love.
