LYCEUM PICTURES,

WEDNESDAY

In hot' linest delineation of human nature, and her most gorgeous creation Norma Talmadge strikes a new dramatic note in "The Probation Wife," which is the star feature for screening to-morrow evening. From a notorious cafe to a reformatory, and nearer to the altar as the probation wife of a wealthy New Yorker, is the thread ol a fascinating romance. The piece is superbly mounted, and the dressing in the late scenes is something to remember. . The story has a strong human interest as the play unfolds the finer motions that I colour the drama when hearts are

trumps. The programme is a big one and contains besides the drama gazette, scenic, and industrial subjects.

THE HOODLUM.'

The International Attractions an- | notuice the appearance of a worthy successor to "Daddy Long the second Mary Pick ford production from her own studio, " The Hoodlum." In "The Hoodlum" the world's sweetheart surpasses even her own magnificent efforts in the past. She is ten new Mary Pickl'ord's, none of which have been seen before. Even her most ardent admirers never dreamed of the versatility that lay hidden and uncalled for in that little personality, and she runs the chromatic scale of human equation from a spoiled society debutante to a sweeter dispositioned, but filthily clad street urchin. The role she so .cleverly portrays has not only the sweet appeal of her earlier offerings, it has many rich comedy situations, broad and farcial, in the which the star out-Chaplins Chaplin, and leaves Mabel Normand at the post. "The Hoodlum" has an appeal for all classes of the community, it is the great star's finest accomplishment, and proves that the diminutive Mary Pickford has that rare gift of knowledge of What her public wants from her. As "The Hoodlum" she gives it freely rnd with open hand. The picture is well termed "the picture of a thousand laughs." The charges for this attraction are 2s and Is 6d (plus tax) for adults and lid and Is for children.
