ON THE SCREEN.
Unden False Colours. There is a full supply of excitement in the Pathe drama entitled “Under False Colors” to be screened at Matamata on Saturday. Frederick Warde and Jeanne Eagles have the leading part, and Robert Vaughan is also prominent. Jeanne Eagles plays the part of a Russian, Countess Olga, who escapes from Russia through the assistance of Jack Colton who is there negotiating a loan. On her way to America the ship is torpedoed and a cabin companion of the Countess dies. She is persuaded to impersonate this girl and so finds herself at the house of Colton, father of the man, who has assisted her. The Coltons become vbry fond of her, but a secret society of which she is a member wish her to entrap Colton and so obtain his money. A struggle ensues between her patriotic duty to the Russian revolutionary cause and her loyalty to the people who have befriended her. The denouement is entirely unexpected and comes on top of a very exciting situation. The whole story moves at a rapid pace and dops not allow the interest to waver for a moment. It is an excellent mystery tale finely told. A Gaumont Graphic and the fourteenth instalment of the “ Mystery of the Double Cross ” (nearing the end) completes this good programme.
