Its opening scene shows a wedding in progress, when the startling announcement in made that the groom is urgently required at Chartem Castle, the home of his wealthy uncle. That night the uncle dies, leaving his newlymarried nephew heir to the estate. Bride and groom pass the night at the castle, hut suddenly disappear. The solution of the problem is unravelled in a remarkable manner, and takes the spectator buck to a medieval romance which strangely affected the disappearance of the new heir and his bride. Clara Wieth, a beautiful Continental Star, is featured in the production. “The Branded Four” will be shown as an extra.

A swagger society dinner party in a swimming pool is one of the unique and attractive scenes in'“The Woman Michael Married,” Bessie Barriseale’s most recent production, which will he shown to-morrow night. Miss Barriseale, whose acquafic accomplishments have heretofore never been exploited, is revealed as an expert fancy diver and swimmer, and makes an extremely attractive ligure in her “Annette Kellerman’s.” Jack Holt shares the honours with the star, and furnishes a natural and likeable presentation of the young society blood who is rushed into marriage as a sporting proposition. ■

On Saturday Charles Kingsely’s “Westward Ho!” will be the star.
