THE STAR THEATRE.

—" The Snowbird "— . Saturday— A Metro masterpiece,, set l amid the land of whispering pines, the' land of Northern snows, a picture which more than maintains- the high Metro' standard, both from the standpoint of an intense and absorbing story, and for • the high quality of the acting. Mabel , Taliaferro and Edwin Carewe play the leading roles in "The Snowbird," ■and- v many magnificent show scenes are used. Another big attraction is the comedy, ''Love Me, Love my Dog," in which £2000 worth of dog is used, ranging fro m a tiny French poodle to q, magnificent St. Bernard. > ,; —"Jaffrey"— Wednesday— A picturization of the great popular novel by the finest author of to-day, William J. Locke, whose > r... charming stories have delighted millions of readers. William Sherrill, the $r«M^M dramatic critic, says:—" I hav6M|jjj^|Bl watching feature productions for sevefaT^C years. lam firm in my belief that ' v c Jaffery ' is the best balanced, most consistently acted, and cleverly staged of any picture of the past two years." r The leading part is in the hands of the eminent English actor, C. Aubrey Smith, a close personal friend of the author, who when he agreed that the novel be pictured insisted that Mr Smith should play the part, as he had him in his mind all the time he was writing the book.
