Just how far she gncs in this pursuit and how near the brink of the precipice she finds herself, is a remarkably appealing and compelling exposition of histrionic artistry and abandon. The many admirers of Corrine Griffith should not miss tins opportunity of seeing "Classitied," if only to witness the versatility of this clever actress in hep supreme ability to portray this role, which is so surprisinglv different from her usual characterisations. •'Classified" conveys a wealth of meaning to the understanding members of the public, which will be readily appreciated by Everybody's discriminating clientele. Everybody's "Select" Orchestra, under the conductorship of Mr W. J. Bellingham, will play a special musical programme embracing the following numbers:—Overture, "Raymond" (Thomas); "Romanza Andaluza" (Sarasate); "Italian Folk Songs" (Langey); violin solo, "Midnight Bells (Kreisler) ; entr'acte, ''The Answer" (Wolstenholme); "Kissing TimQ" (Caryll); ballet music, "Miniatures" (Ansell); fox-trot, ''Seventeen" (Kahn), The box plans are now open at The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved.
QUEEN'S THEATRE,
THREE BIG FEATURES. TO-DAY'S BIG PROGRAMME. A particularly attractive programme has been arranged for. screening at the Queen's Theatre, commencing at 11 a.m. to-day. Heading the list is Universal's amazingly dramatic spectacle, "Lorraine of the Lions," starring Norman Kerry and Patsy Ruth Millar. ''Lorraine of the Lions" abounds in thrills as crisis after crisis builds up to the dramatic climax of the picture. The story is one of contrasts, and concerns a girl of the primitive, who has lived all her life in the jungle with only animals for companions. After many years she is rescued and taken back to civilisation. She is a tigrish little beauty whose entrance into polite society creates a turmoil of passion and jealousy as she observes none of the ldws of convention. Priscilla Dean, volatile vivid, and fascinating, is starred in the greatsst film of her career, "The Siren of Seville." In the field of tempestuous, emotional, histrionic art, Priscilla Dean has no equal, and in the multi-coloured romance, laid in the city of bull-fights, where blood runs hot, and much is risked for a softiglance from dark eyes, Priscilla Dean is a lavishing sonorita "par excellence." The third big feature is the first episdrie of Universal's latest serial, "Samson of the Circus." As may be judged from the title, this great work is redolent of the sawdust ring, and abounds in thrills and exciting incidents. In connexion with "Samson of the Circus," a bicycle competition will be held for children not over 16 years of age, a brand new "Couchman" bicycle being given to the child who gives the correct solution of a sentence, one word of which will be sho\t"n on the screen each week. The box plans are now open at Webley's.
ADDINGTON PICTURES. "Grit," a, fine picture with a splendid cast, heads a big programme at the Addington pictures this week. It is a story of breathless action, absorbing romance, intrigue, and the colourful life in fhe underworld of a great city. The leading role is played by Glen Hunter, the best-loved actor os the screen, in another "boy role"" that made him famous. The second feature is "Porta of Call," starring Edmund Lowe. The supports include Episode 13 of "Man of the North," comedy and news. Coming next Saturday is "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," with Lon Chaney heading' a cast of over 5000. Reserved seats for this wonderful attraction are obtainable at Capstick's, opposito the theatre.
