ROYAL PICTURES

Some of the most beautiful backgrounds and .settings ever conceived for a. photoplay production make “Isohel” or, “The Trail’s End” from the famous novel by James Oliver Curwood, one of the most talked of productions of recent months. This film drama at the Royal Theatre to-night. was taken in the far North- —in the land of perpetual ice arid snow. The exterior scenes are splendid examples of artistry by the modem cinematographer. Those in this production were, chosen with an eye to charm and beauty, and the result will please the most hardened critic.

Note: This great picture introduces the new prismatic colouring of films —and some of the scenes are masses of living colour. An extraordinarily fascinating new development in the art of the films. Also, great Mermaid Comedy “Holy Smoke.” Extra: The last episode of “The Terror Trail.” Prices fid and 1/1, children half price. ... “The Last Card,” which will he shown on Monday, has several features about it which make it stand out distinctively from the average type of pictures. It. is a Bayard .Veiller production, personally directed by the famous author of “Within the Law,” “The Thirteenth Chair,” and other Stirring melodramas, and last hut not least, it is b picture with May Allison in the stellar role. As an extra, “Bride 13” will he shown, all at usual prices. ■
