ROYAL PICTURES.

If you were a girl, would you like to be a bride in a Turkish harem? If you would like to know exactly what goes on inside a harem, see “The Palace of Darkened Windows,” which was actually staged in India and Turkey —and is true to life! / Harems are alright, but, what New Zealand girl would like to share her man’s love with twenty other beauties In “The Palace of Darkened Windows” you’ll find more truths about the Turkish harem than you’ve ever known before. The first genuine harem scenes ever included in a motion picture are shown in “The Palace of Darkened Windows.” This picture, with “The Branded Four” as an extra, will be shown at The Royal to-night. Usual prices. To-morrow night the star attraction will be “Qne Hour Before Dawn.” Here is a mystery tale to baffle even woman’s intuition; where a man uses his brain to arrive at a conclusion, a woman uses her intuition. Instinctively she knows or feels that which a man reaches only through logical reasoning. But the mystery of “One Hour Before Dawn,” in which H. B. Warner will be starred, will baffle a man’s brain and defy a woman’s intuition. “One Hour Before Dawn” is far from being the usual type of murder mystery, for herein hypnotism plays a prominent part. The question of whether or not H. B. Warner, as hero, committed the murder while under a hypnotic spell keeps the audience guessing at every turn. An excellent supporting cast is headed by the beautiful Anna Q. Nilsson, and includes Augustus Phillips and Thomas Guise, and many others.
