AMUSEMENTS.

Plaza Theatre. Light entertainment is offered patrons of the Plaza Theatre on Thursday and Friday, when “The Princess Comes Across” will be presented. The success of “Hands Across the Table,” a picture of the same type and with practically the same cast, led to thts production of “The Princess Comes Across,” and it is stated to be fully as entertaining as its predecessor. Fred Mac Murray and Carole Loanbard again score an

undoubted success in the leading roles and they seem likely to be cast together in further light romantic films. Miss Lombard, in her part as a girl -who masquerades as a prin-

cess on a liner, is given opportunity to mimic well-known screen players, a thing she does with skill. MacMurray handles his part ably and the supporting players have been chosen with care. King’s Theatre. “Tarzan and the Ape Man” told how brave Harry Holt (Neil Hamilton) lost Jane Parker (Maureen O’Sullivan) in the jungle. These two film stars are seen together again in on© of the most ambitious and greatest jung’le dramas even produced on the screen, “Tarzan and His Mate,” which will be shown at the King’s Theatre, Stratford, to-night. Holt organises another safari to penetrate the sinister and dangerous country and bring Jane out. He interests Arlington (Paul Cavanagh), who has money, by telling him of the fortune in ivory which the burying ground of the elephants will yield. They can find this burial ground with Tarzan’s help; he knows all the secrets of tbe jungle. Arlington proves a brutal, ruthless, greedy companion. He vows to steal Jane from Tarzan and double-crosses his colleagues. It is he, not Holt, who dangles the Paris finery before her, and who tries to sweep her off her feet with love-making.
