HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE
"The greatest dramatic motion picture ever offered'the public," is the description of the film which will head the bill at His Majesty's Theatre tonight. It is entitled "Within the Law," and features Alice Joyce and Harry Morey. The production is said to be excellent throughout, while the settings are appropriate, realistic, and well selected. The dramatic plot is described as remarkably well developed, and none of the comedy has been lost. All who witnessed , the play will remember the quaint character by Aggie Lynch. Adela de Garde has this part in the picture. Another outstanding part is that of the rough, Inspector Burke, and M. Eugene O'Rourke as this character does some of his best acting. Alice Joyce is entrusted t with the important part of Mary Turner, and can be relied upon to live up to her fine work in " The Third Degree." Harry Morey as Joo Garson is well cast, and gives a strong presentation of the crook. The story revolves around the adventures of Mary Turner, a shopgirl wrongfully found guilty of shop-lifting and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. On her release she lives " within the law," but as close to it as she dare.
