Saturday night’s programme promises to be a good audience drawer, as the star film “ The Sea Eternal ” is a big play with a big story, beautifully told with strong acting and stupendous spectacles. John Taplsy, a fisherman, Mary, his wife, and their baby, live happily until one Mason comes to buy fish, outbidding Corson, a local dealer. In paying his attentions to John’s wife Mason causes a break in the family friendship. Many exciting scenes of daring rescues in open boats in stormy seas are depicted before the closing scenes show a happy reconciliation. The other dramas are “Dolly saves her Grandfather” and “ Van Noslraud’s Tiara,” the former being one of those all good dramatic heart appeals, which spells instant success, while the latter is a clever, strong, striking detective drama telling how an accomplice of the cracksman Raffles by a cunning ruse, achieves a daring theft, but the criminal is run to earth by a clever society detective. In The Topical Budget all the latest and best news matter is illustrated in clear pictures. The uovelty item “The Provincial Bullfight,” is one of thrilling happenings and stirring spectacles. The comics “ The Wonderful Gamp,” “ Getting the Best of Dad” and “Cohen Saves the Flag.” The first is a Pathe comedy screened everywhere with laugh-raising results ; the second is one of the brightest, breeziest and best of Lubin comedies, while as to the third everybody enjoys a good Keystone comedy, and this film is calculated to cause screams ot laughter.
