HAYWARO'S PICTURES. "THE-DANCER'S PERIL." All the splendour of the Russian ballet season in Paris adonis the powerful. World Film Drama, "The Dancer's . Peril," to bo screened at His Majesty's Theatre, this evening.. Alice Brady •is seen here, in her very best role to date. She has a beautifully moulded form and superb arms, and her dancing is a thing to be wondered at, especially in the line scenes with Alexis Kosloff, '.the great Russian dancer from the Russian Imperial Ballet. The heroine is the daughter- of a Russian Grand Duke, who afraid to recognise her, has had her brought up as a dancer. She meets the greedy eyes of Pavloff, a profligate aristocratic scoundrel who finally inveigles' her into his apartments. Her mother, a dancer also, manages to seek the girl out, and in a terrilic scene, shoots Pavloff down. The photography of the play is wonderful, and it is crowded with rich settings. The stage' scenes of the great Russian ballet art* particularly fine.
