SHORTT'S THEATRE.
"Whiie Satan Sleeps," a very strong story, being shown for the last time tonight at Shortt's Theatre, gives Jack Holt, the noted screen star, a- highly dramatic role. Peter B. Kyne's article in the "Saturday Evening Poet" is the basis on which the drama is founded. A prologue, "Belgium Smiles Again," a comedy, "Torchy and Orange Bfoseoms," and a Gazette complete an excellent programme.
"IF YOU BELIEVE IT, IT'S SO."
That crime is largely the product of environment is powerfully demonstrated iii Thomas Meighan's latest Paramount picture, "If You Believe It,-It's So," which will be shown at Shortt's Theatre to-morrow. The story is woven aronnd a young man who, while he remains in the city, is a criminal, but when circumstances take him out into the open spaces of the country he becomes a changed man, and soon love and peace transform him. In this play Mr. Meighan is said to give one of the most masterful per-, formances of his cateer. He is s-.ipj>ortr-ed by a cast of talented players, including such favourites as Theodore Roberts, Charles Ogle, Pauline Stark, and-Joseph J. Dolling. In a second ttar picture, Justine Johnstone (of Follies' beauty fame) takes the leading role in "A Heart to Let," in which she takes the part of a young woman and a decrepit old one.
