The principal attraction at the Roval m-morrow (Wednesday) evening will be the British and Colonial fl'm masterpiece, “The Puppet M;.ii." Commenting on this drama, ; ; Lading motion pmlure

journal >a.vs: —“A story so dramatic in its interest, so poignant in its path')', and withal so human —so terribly human af times —“The Puppet Man” is of quite outstanding merit. The story goes forward in direct and vigorous fashion, never • faltering for a moment. Obviously tan immense amount of care and n't-' trillion must have been lavished upon it. The result is certainly a triumph for all concerned, from the author and producer downwards. Tito production alone will make the future of this film, which is likely Ip become one of the few outstanding pictures of the year. The big scene is, of course, the accident in the circus. This is a real thrill, as one sees the boy go hurling through space from the roof to the sawdust far beneath—-a very remarkable hit of photography. An effective ending to an entrancing story.” Also the final episode of “The Lure of the Cirhns.” Don’t miss it. No advance in prices.
