ROYAL PICTURES. Who knows exactly how to manage women? Ask ‘Handle With Care," jusi as sincerely as though this Associated Exhibitors feature, ia which Grace Darmond is starred. expected the question to be answered. Certainly no one knew how to handle Jeanne Lee. In fact, .Jeanne could even manage her own affairs —(here being five of them. The east is an excellent one. The production is a picturisation of Charles Belmont Davis’ story “The Men Who Would Die for Her,” and has been produced by Al. and Ray Rocketl aiicl directed by Phil Rosen. Never lias there been such a picture as “Potash and Perlmutter.” You can’t see it once without wanting to see it again. It is the scream of the screen, acted by the original creators of the roles, Alex Carr and Barney Barnard —besides a magnificent east of youth and beauty. “ALIAS THE NIGHT WIND.” Bing Howard as William Russell is called, in “Alias the Night Wind” the screen’s latest detective drama screening at the Town Hall on Saturday evening, proves a veritable fairy godmother to victims of stick up men in that production. Outlawed unjustly, Bing, in an attempt to exonerate himself, swoops down upon stick-up parties, rescues the victim and vanishes. Through the efforts of a girl detective, however, he is exonerated. The production was directed by Joseph Franz, who is said to have evolved some effective scenes of city streets after dark. A Sunshine comedy “Roaring Lions on Parade,” and the latest News are also on the Bill. On Monthly nexl Johnny Hines, so favourably remembered as “Burn ’Em up Barnes,” and Torcliy will make his re-appearancc as the jockey hero of an exciting story written around the English Derby. Needless to say the picture is full of humorous incidents as is the case with all Johnny Hines productions.
