GEORGE ARLISS IN MELODRAMA.

"THE GREEN GODDESS." As Sir Benjamin and John Fuller consider thai tho talking pictures Lave como to e>tay, and as "Fuller's" will concentrate in the future on tho presentation of alltaLking attractions to the exclusion of oporalio offerings, tho title "New Opera House" becomes a misnomer. The name will be altered to "St. James' Theatre," and as a compliment to that fine actor, George ArlisH, the star of "Disraeli," which was the first talking picture to be shown ii> this theatre, the change will come into effect on Saturday next, July 2Glb, tho day on which Georgo Arliss will reappear in his latest and greatest success. "The Green Goddess," a reproduction oi tho actual etago play by William Archer, Kngland'a foremost dramatic critic and gifted playwright. "The Green Goddess" is but one of the occult and mysterious deities of a land which contains many unsolved riddes, includiug the worship and alleged pxistence of the I'vine Buddha. George Arliss is supported by a specially selected cast, which includes such famous stars of the screen as H. B. Warner, Alice Joyce, and Ralph Forbes. The box plans for "Tho Green Goddess" will open at Tho Bristol on Thursday next.
