PRINCESS THEATRE.
A striking programme is offered, commencing: to-day at the Princess THeatre. It includes "The Sea Wolf," a picture version of Jack London's famous novel, which is one of the most stirring' sea novels ever written. "Wolf" Larsen believes m the doctrine of force; and, unlike most bullies, is able to talk philosophically about-his belief, which sticks to mm till the moment of his tragic end. The story carries its readers—or spectators—into the eeal-fisheries, where most stirring events happen. It is a vivid representation of the tremendous struggle which can be. made by a man who relies upon brute force to bend the .world to his. will; and jof the futility of such a struggle, against which the sense of. civilised- humanity naturally- revolts. Alice Brady is starred in ihe second feature, "The Land of Hope," the, story of a dream brouglit to Teality. The' programme includes also a Charlie Chaplin: comedy, "His Musical Career," ' and "But a Butler." in which the leads are taken by Eddie Barry and Vera Reynolds. ■ . • •
