ROYAL PICTURES.

The talented emotional actress, Clara Kimball Young', will appear at the Royal to-night in “The Better Wife.'’ This should be sufficient to assure a large attendance, this actress being considered one of the foremost film stars of to-day. On Monday a double feature Box programme will lie screened, at ordinary prices. If you have enjoyed seeing Albert Ray and Minor Bair in the previous Excel pictures in which William Box has presented these two clever comedians, you will be even more pleased with their latest photoplay entitled “Love is Love.” In this picture, which is strikingly new and different, yet gives ample scope for the agile ability of young Ray and the emotional powers of pretty, dark-eyed Elinor Bair.

The oilier feature is “Chasing Rainbows,” starring Gladys Broekwell. This is the sort of play which Miss Brockwell makes her strongest appeal She is a. waitress with a heart as big as all outdoors, and a mind* that acts more quickly than that: of a headquarters detective. The story • (.’ “Chasing Rainbow.-" certainly is one in which Miss Brockwell should shine. It is wholesome and contains pathos, humour, and enough of the tragic to throw into boldest: relict the happy ending.
