Friday Evening

" Mrs Dane's Danger"—Miss Lilian Walker is said to present an unforgetable characterization as Mrs Dane in this great Vitagraph drama, of the woman who believes love to be the only bond necessary to join man and woman. This powerlul play shows the terrible evil that scandal can do. It has an engrossing plot which culminates in the tragic bedroom scene where the justly wrathful husband makes his false charge. M iss Walker, who performed so creditably in " Indiscretion," recently screened at the Lyric, scores an even greater triumph in this splendid drama. The supporting items are a splendid selection and include that mirth provoking Keystone comedy " Those College Girls." Saturday " Arsene Lupin " —Arsene Lupin was the most brilliant and engaging of cracksmen, an absolute master in his " profession." Hence, when the wealthy and vulgar M. Gournay-Martin, who now owns the historic chateau of the Dukes of Charmerace, receives word from Arsene Lupin that unless he packs up and forwards his paintings and tapestries, he (Lupin) will come himself and remove them, he is in a frenzy of terror. He telephones feverishly to Guerchard, but Lupin taps the wire, and speaking as Guerchard, tells Martin that he will send a military guard to protect and guard the house. Arsene Lupin and his men (the military guard) are welcomed with open arms by Martin and his frightened servants. When Guerchard arrives, the place has been rifled and Lupin has fixed a note to the door : " Welcome, Guerchard! As always, a trifle late !" This, however, is only the beginning, and leads up to the main adventures and a wqnderful romance. Tuesday Evening " Living New York " —Many phases of life, from the landing of emigrants at Ellis Island to night life in the famous hotels, from labourers digging in the subway to stockbrokers in Wall Street, from a visit tp the Metropolitan Museum to a holiday at Coney Island.
