ROYAL PICTURES.
Mae. Marsh has at last got a picture worthy of her, a second “Polly of the Circus.’’ This is a story of old Kentucky, the land of mintjuleping colonels, and famous racehorses, entitled “The Racing Strain,” and will be shown is a beautiful love story of pathos and appeal, a young girl's love and loyalty for her bankrupt father; a contest against uneven odds with an unscrupulous gambler, and a thrilling race scene at Saratoga, .the most fashionable home of racing in America. The story is as fresh and winsome as spring - breezes,, and the star is wholly satisfying in settings that are exactly suited to her. On Monday a double-feature Fox programme will be screened. One is “The Tear,” featuring Virginia Pearson, and the other “Miss Adventure,” in which Peggy Hyland is starred. The latter picture is a very attractive one throughout, and has many exciting incidents. It is a .fine story of the sea, and has some remarkable photography and exquisite settings. In Jane, the orphan girl, Miss Hyland fms a sprightly role, and she enacts it with her usual pep and vivacity. The scenes of the story are laid in the Pacific Ocean, on the Pacific shore, and on a desert island. 9
