The programme screened last night will lie repealed to-night.
“The Bandbox,” to.be screened on Friday evening, is a drama that grips like those old thrilling melodramas where the heroine was hound to the rails before a rushing train; it has all the component parts of successful story and production thai go to make a worthy achievement in screen history. Jt has a beautiful and youthful star in Doris Kenyon, whose portrayal of the heroine is bewildering and appealing, and last, but not- least, the story is by that master of adventurous fiction, Louis Joseph Vance, probably the world’s foremost writer of mystery melodrama. Two striped handboxes containing Parisian creations play the principal part in the plot, one having been utilised as a hiding place for a valuable pearl necklace smuggled through the customs. There is a breathless interest sustained throughout the story, which only unravels its twisted skeins at the very last moment.
