ROYAL PICTURES.

A woman whose philosophy wad to get everything out of life and lei the consequences take care of themselves —a woman whose* creed rebounds on herself like a boomerang, and leaves her to face the future barren of love and happiness, and all the things that make life worth living—that is the role that is magnificently portrayed by Louise Glaum in “Sex,” a Parker Read production- that helped materially to put the name of the director oy the motion picture map as a member of the “Big Six.” Seldom is it the good fortune of any audience to see such a lavisli production that has combined with it a telling story of real dramatic power, logically and interestingly presented. “Sex” may startle a few people, but will furnish food for thought for thinkers. Usual prices, but no half-price tickets for children.

On Alonday, Tom Alix will he seen in a picture adapted from the hook “The Untamed.” Alix enacts the role of “Whistling Dan,” the weird superman, about whom all the action revolves. For his two constant and inseparable companions, Satan, the fiery black stallion, and Black Bart, the devil dog, two beautiful animal.-* were especially trained on the lox lot. Exploits showing the daring and skill of Alix, which are always a, feature of a Alix picture, are generously distributed throughout the story, which lends itself finely to situations of the sensational order. A Sunshine comedy, “A Dog Gone Wedding,” will also be included in the programme. Prices, 2s Id and Is Id, children half-price.
