FOLEY'S PICTURES, i "MORALS OF MARCUS." | Ono of the most delightful comedy dramas yet promoted to local picturegoers entitled "The -Morals of Marcus" was screened last night at His Majesty's Theatre. The film briefly depicts (Jarlottfi's- father, a missionary in Turkey, who had been killed by the brigands, and the mother, to save her daughter's life, enters the' harcmi of a wealthy Turk named Ilaurdt. At ti)o age of eighteen, Carlotta escapes a hateful marriage with the help of young PclligrW, an Englishman. Meanwhile, in England, Milieus Ordeyne, a school teacher, inherits his Uncle's property and becomes Sir Marcus- After escaping from the clutches of her Turkish fos-ter-father, Haurdi? Carlotta goes' to England, where her friend PelliglW is arrested oil a charge of embezzlement, and the girl finds herself homeless and friendless. She accidentally encounters and excites the interest ol Sir Marcus Ordeyne, who takes her under his protection. After many exciting adventures, Carlotta and Sir Marcus are married, and so ends one of the prettiest romances imaginable. The supporting programme includes "Charlie in Cuckoo Land," "War Gazette," and a beautifully coloured film of interest entitled "A Visit to the Paris Zoo." The programme will be repeated to-night for the last time.

THE VICTOR PRINCE COMPANY.

A real treat in revue and vaudeville will be afforded the residents of Stratford and district when the laughably nonsensical revue "Full Steam Ahead" will be produced, in which a lot of jolly sailor boys get mixed up with the clientele of a seaside beauty parlor, where laughter and love-making shake hands with one another to the tinkle of some catchy songs and music. The life and soul of tbe revue is, of course, Mr Victor Prince, a jolly robust comedian, who appears as Jimmic Pannikan, A. 8., and causes uproarious laughter -by assuming tbe functions o'f'a beauty doctor, in order to spy upon the floings ofj his officer's inamorata.' '-'''He-gets., tlie : maximum amount of brdady comedy out of the part, and 'hi bis song "The Villian still 'pursued her" makes a laughing hit. Miss Lillian Colenso, an eccen- j trie comedienne, finds much favor, and also does Mr Chas. Zoli. Mr Yorke dray's dancing with Miss Annette Lang is very clever. The ballet and plump girls are a distinct feature of tbe revue. The above company have just entered their 36th week of continued success in the Dominion. Box plan at Grubbs.
