AMUSEMENTS

EVERYBODY'S PICTURES. TO-NIGHT AND SATURDAY. “WHEN LONDON SLEEPS.” “When London Sleeps”—the thrills begin, is an apt way of describing the new British Dominions Films, “When London Sleeps,” to conic to the Princess Theatre, v An invisible London, only to be seen by the watchful eyes of the custodians of the law, is presented draped in all its night 1 fe, crime and intrigue which surrounds the world’s greatest metropolis. A stunning story runs the length and the breath of the production, which finally dissolves itself into one of the most satisfactory film denouements to Ire seen or heard in recent months. With /the English screen beauty, Diana Beaumont in a stellar part, together with Bene Bay ,and Hairold French, all prominent members of the English stage and continentally famous for the excellent performances they render are in starring roles. An excellent supporting programme will also be shown. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. “IF 1 HAD A MILLION.” “If I had a Million,” Paramount’s fifteen star drama, which, opens at the Princess, Theatre on Monday evening, lias the largest' group of stars ever asRambled for a single production, with Gary Cooper in the lead. The story centres around Bennett, an eccentric millionaire, who decided to dispose of his fortune to eight persons whoso names he chooses at random from a city directory. The reactions of each to the beneficiaries are as unique a s is bis own character. To some it means romance ; to others tragedy. The dev«lopments for some are ironic; for others, comic. Each of the stars j s cast in the type of role in which he won original stage and screen fame. A good supporting programme of shorts, including the open ; ng chapter of the new serial “The Jungle Mystery,” will also be shown.
