SHORTT'S' THEATRE.
Described as the first all-British superfeature, "My Lady's Dress," is a production with many outstanding qualities, and its screening at Shortt's Theatre, which commenced to-day, should meet with much success. Taken from the well-known, stage play, the story has been adapted to the . screen in a most capable manner, and the way in which the manufacture of fashionable dress is introduced lends much educational value to the picture. When a woman is being provided with a valuable dress she wanders into Dreamland, and there learns of many processes necessary for her make-up. First is seen, the silkwornv in Siberia, then there is the preparation of siikiin Holland, after which fine views are given of ,the manufacture of artificial flowers at Hampstead Heath, and the uses to which they are' put in France. The procuring of furs from Siberia forms another interesting study, and altogether these processes and the story make the picture a distinct masterpiece. . Capable acting is done by Mis» Gladys Cooper.
