FEATURE PROGRAMME Jam ?s Kirkwood, veteran of the stage and screen, plays the leading masculine role in -Butterflies in the Rain,’" which will have its final screening at the Capitol Theatre to-night. Laura La Plant* shares starring honours in this Edward Sloman production, which has an excellent supporting cast, including Robert Ober, Edwards Davis, Clarence Thompson, Grace Gordon and Dorothy Stokes. In 'The Lady of the Harem,” the famous Paramount picture which will also be screened to-night, thousands of "extras’ were required by director Raoul Walsh in making many of the scenes laid in the Persian city of Kh rasan. When the people of the city rose in rebellion against the tyrant Caliph, the greater number were required, and they had to swim a river in order to reach the precincts of the palace. To film this mighty scene over 16 different cameras were required to take all the angles wanted by the director for the picture.
