STEAXD THEATRE. A completely new programme will ha presented at tl)o Stvar.d Pictiiro Theatro to-day. "Vivielt*," featuring Vivian Martin, will bo tlie "star' film, and it is stated to ho n, particularly interesting , production. The irresia--1 :'»!■? Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in "In A;^;iin —Out Again," which is described as a, picture full oi action, adventure, and thrills. There will be a splendid travel film and a. particularly good "cou'.ic." Episode T\'o. 7 of "TJio Eagle's J!y«" will also be screened, tho whoio programme being one much above the average.

The iinal serewiinss of the progwmmo tako place to-day. LIBERTY THEATRE. ! To-day's sessions will be the last oppor- i tunitic'3 of v.-itucssing , tho fine programme | now being presented at the Liberty Theatre. On.Monday there will be a complete change, I and foremost on the new bill will be a. "Select" film, featuring , Alice .rirady entitled '•Tho Better llalf." In this picture a dual prart is played by Mies Brady. Ono of the most interesting; situations ever arrunged iu a screen story ie contained iu this picture. It tells of twin sisters, who, though outwardly so nliko that they are invariably mistaken for eisca, other, aro in temperament esactly opposite. Ono sister ie cold and calculating, and marries «. man of whom she is totally unworthy. The other sister become* a luirno. I In crrarse of tim* tlie wife leaves' her husband, who at tho same time meets with an, accident which ]eavea him temporarily blir.H. During hia recovery he is tended by tho nurse whom he believes to bo his wife. It is not till tho bandages arc removed from his eyes that he realises his mietake. In trie meantime the wife has returned, but commits suicide. Sho is-"buried under the name of the nu»p.. This boffote an. aetonishin? position, which is complicated by the fact that tho nurse is in Jove with her late sister's husband. 'Jhe etory is strong and convincing, with interest at full pitch throughout, and the dreeaea and settings ore up to the high "Select," standard. Alice S3ra<ly has jiorer dono belter work. There is a particularly etvong supporting programme. MR EDWARD BKANSCOXtBE'S STUDENTS' CONCERT.
