THEATRE ROYAL.
TWO EXCELLENT PICTURES. By the presentation e£ tw-o very good (films, "The Ship from Shanghai" and "The Awful Truth," a splendid entertainment is provided at the.Theatre Royal this week. The two pictures are on totally different line's, drama in the first being relieved by comedy , in the second. The comedy,. "The Awful Truth," is given pride of place, and merits its position. Ina Claire and Henry Daniel play the part of a quarrelling couple-to perfection. They quarrel when the picture begins and they quarrel when it ends. In. the meantime they have taken divorce proceedings, have been living opart, and despite themselves have drifted together again. They, would not be happy if they lived in too great harmony. "The Ship from Shanghai" is different. H. tale of the sea, o£ mutiny, and o£ men and women on a derelict vessel, it holds plenty of interest. The film is adapted from Dale Collin's novel, "Ordeal." Conrau Nagel, Kay Johnson, and Louis Wolheim are the leaders of the cast.
