"INTO THE NET."

NEW YORK ClilDF OiF POLICE'S STORY. Perhaps no picture ever produced can boast so many beautiful girls as the new police picture, "Into the Net," featuring Edna Murphy and Jack Mulhall, and showing on Wednesday at the Maoriland Theatre. Richard E. Enright, Commissioner of Police of New York City, wrote the story, basing it on actual experiences of the New York City police in tracing beautiful girls who my star iousy disappear. In "Into the Net" he lifts the lid from- the seething crime pot of New y.ark, shows us how innocent girls are kidnapped and held for ransom, shows us the operations of a gang of kidnappers, murderers and smugglers, and then reveals how New York's "Finest" spreads its dragnet, earmarks the criminals, and .rounds them up in one grand and gorgeous effort, wherein are utilieed all the latest and cleverest methods of crime detection and all the powerful resources of the New York Police Department, The story is graphic, thrilling, real. Its happenings are true to life. They are pages from the nota-book of Com-' missioiier Enright himself. The policeman and police equipment are the real thing. In short, "Into the Net" is the proudest accomplishment in the annals of box office photoplays!

"PETER PAN."

SIR J. M. BARBIE'S MASTERPIECE. _______ , * Nearly six million persons paying more than 2,000,000 dollars to. see a motion picture in the first week of. its release! These statistics are little short of staggering. "Peter IPan," Sir James M. Barrie's fantasy, produced for Famous Play-ers-Lasky Corporation ,by Herbert Bremen, with Betty Branson as Peter P£n, swept the 'United States and Canada with tins record of achievement. "Peter Pan" opened on December 28, in two hundred and fifty-eight theatres scattered over the country. 'From figures compiled at the close of the week, it is authoritatively stated that 5,825,2<50 persons-paid 2,155,346 dollars to see "Peter IPan.'; The preponderance of opinion is most enthusiastic. The character of the production, cast, direction, etc., lias been praised in language tluir is seldom employed, and the net result !writing within <t\vo weeks of the premiere) seems to have exceeded the utmost limits set by either producer or theatre owner, almost without exception. "Peter Pan" is due in Shannon on Friday next.
