ROYAL PICTURES.
Those lovers of the drama who like action, excitement and suspense in their film food will find a dish to their taste in “Man’s Desire,” staring Lewis S. Stone, at the Royal Theatre to-morrow (Wednesday) night. There is much stimulation in this, seasoned production, with its virile and primitive settings. Tom Denton, the “straight-shooter” literally and figuratively; “Bull” Larkin, an abysmal beast and evil genius of the woods; and gentle Mary Larkin, an exquisite flower in a primitive wilderness, are characters in this story who are woven into, a
drama that vibrates with suspense and thrilling situations. Lewis S. Stone wrote the play himself, and • has succeeded in creating a new type of out-in-the-open hero which is a relief from the ordinary screen • gun-man. Jane Novak as-Mray Larkin has a part -t.hrfT'tfts her admirably. As an extra, “The Brand-
ed Four” vUli be shown. ThurlTday’s star attraction will be “A Girl of the Sea.” 7 Don’t miss Connie Talma dge in “A Temperamental AVife,” and that king of laugh-makers, Larry Semon, in “The Sportsman,” on Saturday.
