“GOD’S LAW AND MAN'S.' 1 -

This piny is unusual in treatment and plot, ami some truly, amazing scenic effects are to bo seen in the. production. Opening iitnid the jungle, of an East Indian village, the play is mainly developed amid the. homes and parks of wealth and luxury in England. An English fox hunt is shown in 'a great hunting park of great beauty, nnd many prominent society men and ■vomeu joined the players in rhe picture. Bomb excellent close views of .magnificent leaps over high fences were obtained. During the hunt, one of the characters is sttpposed to. Tv killed. .Floyd 1 luckier, who played flic-part, is a noted athlete, but -so realistic was the fall that many thought Buckley' was fatally injured. However, it was not so serious as that, though his injuries were serious enough. The fox hunt. sce.no lias never been better done in any picture, and is well worth nienljioniug. "The Soyn't of tiie Submarine'’ this week is one of tie' best episodes, and the other pictures are equally good. This programme our be recommended in tote.

PALACE,

A STRONG ITCTL'KI

The prodigal splendour of the interior of one of. New York’s largest and most palatial night resorts is vividly shown in “God’s Atari. 1 ’ ami this aspect of the normal reckmiss ef huxleni city life is relentlessly delineated. H. R, Warner, whose dine acting in “The Beggar of Cawnporo’’ will ho readily . recalled, has the principal part to play. ,The play bps a good moral, but is moroiless in its exposure of the hypocrites who traffic in vice yet keep up their appearanco of r&pcciabili’t-y.
