LYCEUM PICTURES.

The star picture "Jealousy," or " The Green Swauip," to be .shown to-morrow (Wednebd xy) at the Premier Hall, is a story of matrimonial misunderstanding brought about by " the green-eyed monster " —jealousy-and is the latest Triangle play. Beautiful Bessie Barriscale, whose acting in "The Golden Claw" and " Bullets and Brown Eyes " his made her such a favourite with picture lovers, is the woman who has a passion for suspecting her husband and who thereby nearly brings herself life-long misery. During an interval in the - production of " The Green Swamp," Miss Barriscale said to an interviewer: "I am getting more and more concerned about the story that is to be told and the story's message-. As far as I am concerned I want my plays to say something to men and women. I want to c Mint as an influence in other lives. To me there is a great responsibility iu tho making of a photoplay. The good pic-tuie ieaches nn audience of millions. It ought to carry a great message of thought and helpfulness when it does that. While I was creating the woman in ' Ihe Green' Swamp,' I never forgot that jealousy was something vicious, even when it was natural. The public has had enough of young love, dros«ing up and curly-curls, and now demanls the story with the punch and the actor who can deliver it."

This picture, with a strong supporting programme, will be screened for the one night only.
