SHORTT'S THEATRE.

George Eliot's greatest story,.'" SiM .-Marner," has been "picturised for Associated Exhibitors in six reels', and will be shown at Shortt's Theatre to-day.'. Arranged,for the screen and directedby Frank P. Donovan, an introductory: title in the film says: "It is in: deference to public intelligence that this photographic edition of 'Silas Marner,1 save for minor arrangement that time limitation of the theatre exacts, has been faithfully picturised as it is written." As. conceived by George' Eliot, . bilas Marner " has everything that goes to make a good motion "picture entertainment. It is a gripping, poignant, exquisitely-tender human interest story ol homely folks. There is a blending oi love, tragedy, mystery, cruel deception, and deep charms in the plot. And these charms of < the story lend themselves, admirably to the' screen. Craururd Kent, well known as a-leading man ot unusual ability, plays the title role, and is assisted by a large cast. Supporting films are good. ;
