GLORIA SWANSON IN “STAGE STRUCK.” Gloria Swanson is a stage struck girl in a small country town in her latest picture “Stage Struck,” at the Town Hall to-morrow evening. She is anxious to make a name for herself because her boy is interested in actresses. With the aid of a. travelling showman her life ambition to get on the stage is realised, but with what results.

On the same programme is a comedy “Mandarin Mix Up,” Scenic and Paramount News.

During the taking of the scenes for the Tiffany production, “Morganson’s Finish” to be screened at the Royal Theatre to-morrow night, * a team of “huskies” were used in the various snow scenes. .While at rest, awaiting their turn for a scene, one of the dogs sprang for the leader and the snails and howls of the lighting animals brought the members of the company on the run. Miss Stewart 'started for the fighting “huskies” and with a word of command told the leader dog to stop and come to her. At the sound of Miss Stewart’s voice, the big dog hesitated, then stopped, and slowly came over to Miss Stewart.
