ROYAL PICTURES.
The story of “Jilted Janet,” to be screened to-morrow and Thursday, offers Margarita Fischer numerous opportunities to display her wellknown powers as a sprightly comedienne. Many of the situations are humorous, a'nd out of the ordinary run, and the story is crisply novel, Quite a new idea in the story was that of Janet Barnes, a girl who had been jilted by her lover, Ernest Morgan, for a rich girl down East. Although badly “up against it” in her brother's little house on the lemon farm, which was a failure, she puts up a big bluff, and sent Morgan and his new wife a photograph of the fine house “next door” with the comment: “What do you think of our new home?” When her bluff was called, and Mr and Mrs Morgan pay her a visit, she had to get busy. To borrow .the house 'during the owner’s absence was not difficult, and Janet acted the well-to-do hostess to perfection, with a real live butler to assist her.
