ENTERTAINMENTS

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. IF WINTER COMES. Heading the cast, Percy Mannont, as Mark Sabre, gives one af the most convincing character portrayals ever witnessed on. the silver sheet, He is Mark Sabre. And Ann Forrest, a<s Nona, Lady Tybar, is every bit the gracious aristocrat with an abundance of feminine charm and .wistfulness. High Jinks and Low Jinks, played by Dorothy Allen and Eleanor Daniels, are delightful, The climax of the story—the big court-room scene W H! get you with a tightening of the heart and a tenseness of muscles that relaxes only when Mark Sabre has staggered out of the court-room and is pursued by a threatening, rockthrowing mob. Your interest is sustained at high tension when he finds Effie’s note and learns who was the father of her child; when he goes to get the treacherous Twyning; when he faints in his office, and he recovers in the hospital and finds Nona by his bed. Even then you will not relax. Only when Mark takes her in his arms and murmurs : “Beloved —beloved.” Then you will suddenly realise with the flashing of "The End” how wrought-up you were.
