ROYAL PICTURES.

“A Man and His Money” points the adage that a fool ahd his money are easily parted, but adds that it takes a wise man to recognise he is a fool, and that while money may make) a fool, the fool seldom makes money, in this ease the fool is Tom Moore, and a delightful fool ho makes, fitting the role to perfection. This may sound like a left handed eomplimont, but it can also be a very whole-hearted one. The leading lady in the 1 ease is Secna Owen, and she provides good' and sufficient reason'for T&'m to set a> bout winning back her affections in the roundabout method he adopted. See this picture at the Royal tonight. .Without that supreme actress, Theda Bara, as its .star, “When a Woman Sins” furnishes what is probably the most powerful story that has been put on the'screen in the last decade. It is a story of/ lova, and the impulses of love; of sin, and its burning cost; of the wild, gay life of the abandoned souls of Broadway; of the fight of a modern Magdalen against the frowning wails of society’s hypocrisy and smugness. It is, in sura, the crosssection of a woman’s soul. This great picture will be shown on 'Monday at ordinary prices.
