PRINCESS THEATRE.
Two big films of exceptional interest are being screened on the new programme at the Princess Theatre. "A Gentleman of Leisure" is one of those delightful stories, half comedy, half drama, with an interesting aiid wellsustained plot, but with plenty of humorous situations mixed in, the whole forming a welcome variation from tho more emotional films which constitute such a laa-ge proportion of screen offerings. Robert Pitt, a young American of wealth and leisure, returning homo after a season abroad, finds himself quickly followed by Molly Creedou and tbe Blounts. Robert sees Molly.for the first, time in a cafe' where ghe was dining with Sir John and Lady Blount. Bob wagers with his associates that he will not only meet this charming girl but obtain from here a photograph, suitably inscribed, within twenty-four hours. Adventures follow rapidly for Bob, and eventually he Wins the affections of Molly, along with the photograph, and the picture ends in the happiest fashion. The appeal of Mary Pickford is as strong us ever in "Through the Back Door," and "the world's sweetheart" adds in it another triumph to her long list of successes. Among the supports is a delightful comedy, "Torchy Mixes In,", and a further chapter in the current serial.
