PRINCE EDWARD
A STRONG PROGRAMME “In Old Kentucky,” featuring James Murray, Helene Costello and Wesley Barry, will be shown at the Prince Edward Theatre to-night. The story concerns the old Southern family of Brierly, “Major” and “Skippy,” and Nancy. Their for-
tunes are bound up with a racehorse, “ Queen Bess,” said to have been killed in Flanders. Brierly, watching some condemned Government horses being auctioned, is stunned to see Queen Bess among them, and buys the horse for double her price, paying
with a worthless cheque. Although Nancy loves “Major,” his love has coarsened and one night when he is subjecting her to abuse, “Skippy” rescues her and the two men fight. “Skippy” is beaten. In a drunken condition “Major” goes home, quarrels with his father and as a result leaves his family to live his own life. It is a wild existence with much gambling in it. Usually he is in funds. The second pictorial attraction is “Irish Hearts,” starring May McAvoy. j
