WESLEY BARRY ON WEDNESDAY.

A First National attraction will be screened on Wednesday, starring 'Wesley ("Freckles”) Barry. It is a . humorous and entertaining story that the picturisation of "Penrod” tells. Wesley (Penrod) has organised a society, with “grips,” “nishiations” ana “symbols.” The society meets in a cafe they have dug, much against the wishes of the grown-ups of the village, who 100k f askance on the ' new fraternal order. Finally, after ti e boys . capture two notorious bandits, ’ parental obj&tions .turn into- parental favour. There are few people who ’ have so- far forgotten their own child- ' hood days as to want to miss this picture of real boys and girls playing away as only happy childhood can. REGARDING FOOLISH WIVES. When the parting curtain bares the screen for th^, presentation of “Foolish Wives” on Friday, please remeiiiber that for every minute that ft is j shown thereon more than £I3OO Has'! been spent on its production. j Without parallel in the world’s Ins- j 1 tory the. exotic life of Monte Carlo created its own atmosphere-van atmosphere possible of screen : production only by the reproduction down to the smallest detail of the surroundings, the magnificent. Casino,-the Cate de Paris, the ’ chateaux and. villas, the gardens and the seas; the streets, the ‘ cosmopolitan crowds—their, types and costumes, their mode of life; the supreme reign of the queenly and glorious wornen-rtheir intrigues, extravagances arid adventures. It is in this manner that more than, a million dollars in money—a seeming eternity of strenuous activity on the part o'f thousarids of people, and nearly two years in actual time, have been spent ,in the production cf “Foolish Wives.” '
