ROYAL PICTURES.

To-night (he great Fox production, “Cheating the Public,” will he screened at Die Koval. The picture contains ten tremendous thrills, as follows: —1. Stupendous food riots; multitude of maddened men battling for bread. 2. Desperate battle to death between man and girl on mansion si airway. 3. Mad, wild, 100-mile-an-huur night race between auto and train; headlights gleaming, marvellous realism that staggers imagination, 1. Unutterable infamies of child labour; lots driven under lash of brutal factory foreman. 5. Greedy, grasping food profiteer living in luxury on labour of the lowly; see him and hate him. (i. Heart-rendering scenes of direst want, and poverty in homes of downtrodden poor, 7. Fragile girl, falsely accused, shuddering in very shadow of electric chair. 8. Child’s dramatic, damning recital on witness stand of monstrous indignities suffered from powerful employer. P. .turov —brow-beaten, reviled, threatened —forced to return a verdict against his will. 10. Splendid, sublime storm scenes; tons of water pour down from heaven as lightning Hashes and deatli stalks

abroad. See this magnificent melo■ dramatic message. For to-morrow ami Thursday night, “Hitlers of the Might” will lie screened. It is a Jive-act Metro drama of Kentucky, and the blue glass is filled with colour and romance, with a hint of tragedy. Sally Castleton, the heroine (played by Viola Dana) is willing to make the supreme sacrifice for the sake of the man she loves. The magic and witchery of night heighten the thrilling events of this picturesque photoplay. “Eiders of the Night” is a Kentucky story without a feud. Viola Dana was never more bewitching than in this dramatic story of the struggle of right against privilege. It has surprises in every act.
