“NOT GUILTY.”

The management of the Royal Theatre has pleasure in aimouncing that “Hot Guilty,” a special First National feature, will be presented to-night. This is a powerfully appealing story, of a-brother wjio assumed the guilt of his twin for a crime which makes him an outcast. Many of the wonderful scenes in this feature'have their locale in India, along the shores of the Ganges. Thousands of native Hindu women will be seen bathing in the sacred River. The world-famed temples of that country will add great beauty to the production, especially the scenes showing the Taj Mahal, the pure white marble mausoleum built at Agra by the Mogul Emperor, .Shall Jehan. “The Gay Lord Quex,” screening on Monday is a six-part comedydrama which deals with a gay young nobleman in an extremely amusing manner. Tom Moore figures as the star, and is seen as the type of wooer that popular opinion has named its favourite. The colour scenes in “Way Down East,” showing next Thursday (matinee at 2.30, evening at 8), are revelations of a new branch of the cinema art. They resemble the most beautiful drawings in crayon, and have a living softness and daintiness of outline quite novel after the colour Work we have seen before. They add interest to the gorgeous ballroom scenes, and occasionally glorify the beauty of Lilian Gish.
