ROYAL PICTURES.

The attraction at the Royal tonight will be a double programme, included in which is “Two Moons,” starring Buck Jones, bo.v star, and which was adapted from Robert Welles Ritchie’s novel, “Trails to Two Moons,” an exhilirating tale of the bitter feud between the cattle'men and the sheep herders of Wyoming. New stunts of daring, new situations to stir the blood and thrill the heart, are said to have been used in “Two Moons,” with the star himself at his best. Harold Goodwin, the. eighteen-year-old lad whom William Fox has elevated to stardom, will be seen in his first picture, “Oliver Twist, Jr.” in addition to Buck Jones’ feature. “Oliver Twist, Jr.” is the story of young Oliver Twist as Dickens wrote it, but brought up to date while retaining the original characters. Those who have seen Goodwin as Oliver declare he is destined for a high place in the picture firmament.

On Wednesday the star attraction will be “The Other Half,” King Vidor’s latest production. As in the case of his latest remarkably successful production, “The Turn in the Road,” he has; struck an: intensely human note in this picture. “The proper study -of mankind is man,” says some sage, and the youthful author-director has taken it as a maxim. That “one half of the world doesn’t know how the other half lives’-is the theme of the drama. As an extra, “The Terror Trail” will be shown.- ■

; “The River’s End” will be screened next week.
