PRINCE EDWARD
VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES Like a chapter from real life rather than a combination of fiction and fact, “After Midnight,” a story of modern life, is sure to attract unusual interest, when it is shown at the Prince Edward Theatre to-night. Norma Shearer has one of the best roles .of lier career as Mary, the Cigarette Girl. The Cigarette Girl is one of two sisters, both of whom earn their living during the hours -in which most people are asleep. Maizie, the other sitser, being a dancer in the Four Hundred Cabaret, where Mary sells lier “smokes.” Mary is steady and saving. Maizie is flighty and careless. In the last crashing scenes, however, Norma, thinking that her fiance has failed her, decides to ‘Hive for to-day,” and spends the savings of years on a dazzling wardrobe. It is then that this Canadian beauty is seen at her ravishing best. “After Midnight” tells of the folk who wake up when the rest of the world is abed, and of the tragedy and comedy that fills their lives. Lawrence Gray, handsome and manly, plays opposite Miss Shearer in this appealing romance. “The Danger Girl,” starring Priscilla Dean, will be the second pictorial attraction, and a large vaudeville programme will be presented this evening.
