ROYAL PICTURES.

At (lie Koval to-night tlie Vitagraph feature, “The Third Degree,” starring Alice Joyce, will lie screened, The charming girlishness of Alice Joyce, her force and individuality, have Hover been given belter expression limn in the character of lhe waitress-wife whose love and faith in her husband saved him from the electric chair. She never wavered when events loomed up woefully black, I %nd her courage and devotion shaped things to an effective and satisfactory conclusion.

It is the mood that a picture leaves a spectator in -that counts, and “Carolyn of the Corners,” to-mor-row night’s star feature, with Bessie Love in the stellar role, should enhance her reputation among pic-ture-goers, and make for her many new friends and admirers.; As the waif from the city who manages to patch up,her uncle’s broken romance, she creates a delightful little character, notable for its simplicity, charm and loveliness. She is a love by nature as well asname, ami whether her real age is a screen secret or not, she stands alone as portrayer of child roles, and it is to he hoped that the day is far distant when she will be too ok| to continue them; not the' least worthy of mention in this simple but charming play is her canine friend, Prince, who acts in the finished manner, that bespeaks years of training.
