AMUSEMENTS

THREE STARS

"The Snappy Stories" magazine earned a reputation for high grade literary gems, and ' • The Men She Married" is one of its very best tales. A scheming adventurer and his wife areposing at a fashionable week-end resort as brother and sister, and he manages-

to entrap into a bogus marriage a. pretty heiress, well pourtrayed by Gail Kane. Instead of the usual result of such a trick, the plot takes ad unexpected twist and the villian "takes down" his bride promptly for ten thousand and moves off to Central America. The hideous strength of the construction is made manifest! by the later advice of the conspirators who secure a faked letter to the heroine that her husband is dead. She marries again, and the villian promptly turns up to blackmail. The end is quite a surprise, and the wide drama is full of strange turns. The photography is remarkable and the dressing superb. Special mention must be made of dainty Muriel Ostriche, a coming World star of supreme fascination. jy

EVERYBODY'S To-night there will be no pictures at the Town Hall. Commencing tomorrow at the matinee the well-known, novel "The World's Great Snare" by E. Phillips Oppenheim, will be present*, ed in picture forms. The principal part of Myra, a cabaret singer, is played by Miss Pauline Fredericks, who is re*. cognised as one of the best actresses on the screen to-day, and she is credited with never being better employed than in "The World's Great Snare" for she has to depict a woman of the world who is buffetted from hand to hand but has many strange experiences before love enters her life. The excep* tional supporting programme includes a Gazette, Paramount Travelogue and a laughable "Victor Moore" comedy.
