ROYAL PICTURES

An American actor now in Sydney has this to say regarding Elaine Hammerstein: “I consider her really the most desirable girl it has ever been my pleasure to know. She is so natural that you can hardly imagine her ever acting at all. And in direct contrast to the accepted idea of movie stars she lives a most normal life, free from excessive gaiety; and I rocken one would be safe in stating that Elaine Hammerstein is never late for work and never tired.” See her latest film, “Poor Dear Margaret Kirby,” a Selzniek release, to, be seen at the Royal to-night. Meredith Nicholson, author of “The House of a Thousand Scandals,” wrote the novel from which the current Selz- __ nick production, “Poor Dear Margaret Kirby,” has been adapted. , The broad, appealing human ele-A. ment which is in “The White Dove,” to be shown to-morrow night, alone would make it a surpassing picture. But add to this is one of the most unusual and daring themes, unusual plot of construction, and a cleverness of action without paralled among recent productions. H. B. Warner finds his greatest role part in W. J. Locke’s story, “The White Dove.” It has been declared by cz’itics to be the best work of William J. Locke, whose novels have won a wide success.
