“The Adorable Outcast,” a picture of exceptional charm, will be the main feature at the Prince Edward Theatre this evening. It has a thrilling plot, relieved with comedy situations which it would be hard to better. Edith Roberts, as Luya, gives a charmig exposition of the character of a supposed half-caste girl, and Edmund Burns, as Stephens Conn, achieves success in a difficult role. The story tells of life in the Islands, with all the picturesque aetail of scenery and inhabitants complete. Luya wins the love of Stephen Conn, the wealthiest inhabitant of the island, and he tells her the secret of his riches. The source of these last provides the problem which Tursey, the villain of the piece, and his gang of blackbirders set out to solve. The many exciting happenings work up to a grand climax with the burning of Don Devil’s Island stronghold. The huge cast includes 6.000 Fijian natives, and such well-known stars as Edmund Burns, Walter Long and Jessica Harcourt. “The Sawdust Paradise.” starring Esther Ralston, is the second picture.
