HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
"Tho Trap," featuring Alice Brady, is the star film to be screened this evening at His Majesty's' Theatre. This is a World drama, and contains a powerful indictment of hypocrisy and the lengths to which at times it can go. The scene opens in an obscure fishing village, where- a young girl Doris Shaw lives. Her mother had run away from the cruelties of her fanatical" husband. When Doris is discovered talking to an artist who is visiting the village, her father, with the same i'anticism, drives her away. She eventually lands in New York, and secures employment as an artist's model, who paints her portrait in an advertising poster. She innocently acfopts presents and a flat to live in from tho artist, failing to realise his dishonourable intentions. Meantime a stalwart Westerner has seen the poster and is so struck with the girl that he decides to find tho model 1. He does so, rind his attention to her arouses the jealousy of the artist, who seeks a most unscrupulous method-of ridding himself of a rival. What this method is would perhaps spoil the.story, suffice to say that after a very exditing climax the course of true love runs smoothly at last. The picture moves forward with line consistency, and it is said to contain delightful settings.
