THE BRITANNIA.
Crowded audiences at all sessions yesterday witnessed the screening of the five-act World Film production, "The Butterfly," which is the feature attraction of an excellent programme being screened this week at the Britannia Theatre. This mystery play is a dramatisation of Henry Kitchell Webster's book, and it affords unlimited opportunities for scenes and situations full of dramatic interest. The story deals with the life of a famous dancer, who is an object of revenge of a. hunchback who had been repulsed by the dancer's stepmother. There are some splendid Oriental scenes and life in a big travelling company of theatrical people is vividly shown. Miss Barbara Tennant, a popular American actress, appears in the title role. The supporting pictures include the last set of " William Salisbury's Wild Life of America,"
