ROYAL PICTURES
The Eire Brigade Benefit Pictures will be held to-night. Leila Burton Wells’ poignant drama of domestic doubts, “The Invisible Divorce,” is without question a notable addition to the silent drama. The theme back of the story is as old as the ages, but the clever manner in which the author’s views are depicted make the subject appear to be something entirely new. In “The Invisible Divorce” the “eternal triangle” situation is augmented by being turned into a foursided problem in matrimonial mathematics, the principal characters being two men and two women upon whom the conjugal yoke bears heavily. One couple is poor, ,the other rich. The poor; man is enamoured of the rich woman, and his affection returned. The other parties concerned become aware of the situation, and although no open rupture occurs, a sort of invisible divorce takes place. The position exists for several years, until events take place that revise matters entirely, and the unseen barrier is removed. This powerful picture, together with the comedy, “Hello, Uncle!” will be screened tomorrow and Thursday evenings.
