BRITANNIA AND PARAMOUNT THEATRES.

"It Is the Law," will be finally screened to-day at the Paramount and Britannia Theatres. It contains that rare combination —big story and great acting. It is a melodramatic tale, as might be judged by the title. It ranges from the upper to I the underworld and back again, and has one of the most unusual themes, and there are many thrilling moments. The supporting picture is "The Trembling Hour," featuring Kenneth Harlan. A comedy and the latest gazette complete a programme of exceptional merit. "THOSE WHO DANCE." The old-fashioned "crook" story of the screen, which never failed to attract capacity audiences if well presented, is definitely outdated by Thomas H. Ince's latest production, "Those Who Dance," a First National release, which comes to the Britannia and Paramount Theatres to-morrow. In a new way that furnishes absolutely novel entertainment, Ince has screened a picture dealing with a theme of world-wide interest, for he has told the story of liquor in a tensely absorbing, fast-action drama that carries an enthralling romance as well as dramatic incident which is vividly colourful, and a climax that is one of the biggest "smashes" of the silver sheet. The story transpires, for the most part, in the New York underworld. The novelty of the characterisations and the entirely original situations" which result when a girl from the country drops in with the underworld life to get evidence to save her brother, who has been "framed," have been developed into a top-notch production. There is an excellent cast headed by Blanche Sweet and Warner Baxter, and including Bessie Love, Robert Agnew, Lucille Ricksen,' and Mathew Betz. The sup-H/.-ting picture, "Romance Ranch," is i- stoi'y of the Californian foothills/ featuring John Gilbert.
