PRINCESS THEATRE.
"The Fatal Hour," a Metro drama of intrigue and adventure, will be featured at the Princess Theatre to-day: This play is based on the tremendous stage success "The Marriages of Mayfair," by Cecil Raleigh. The spirited story opens with the boat races of the Henley Regatta on the Thames, where a plot is hatched to rob Nigel Villiers, the young heir to a title and estate, of his inheritance, because he snubbed a London burlesque queen. In Switzerland a page is torn from a document, and soon afterwards Nigel is dispossessed and branded as an impostor. Then the climax, a swift hair-raising struggle over a precipice that contributes to unravel the skein of entanglements. The allstar cast includes Thomas W. Ross, of "Checkers" fame; Wilfred Lytell, brother of the Metro star, Bert Lytell; Frank Currier, Gladys Coburn, and Thea Talbot. Julia Burnham wrote the scenario, and George W. Terwilliger directed the production, personally supervised by Maxwell Karger, Metro direc-tor-general. •
