STRAND THEATRE.

Those who have seen Miss Compson in the past remember her exquisite acting, but nothing she has ever done can compare with her delineation of Deloryse in "Woman to Woman," screening today at the Strand Theatre. The leadingmale role is played by Clivo Brook, whose sturdy masculinity is an admirable foil for Miss Compson's dainty girlishness. As for the story itself, it is brimming with appeal. The little French girl, Louise Boucher, dances her way into your heart, and when she becomes the great artist, Deloryse, she not only retains, but increases, her grip upon your affections. "Listen, Lester," the second attraction, not only boasts an all-star cast of players, but is rich in all the ingredients that go to make up a swift-moving story, replete with humour of the kind that would make an individual with the gout emit chuckle after chuckle. It never lets down for a moment, and allows full sway for the pantomimic ability of the many prominent players who appear in its past. The story is woven around the rapid exchange of a set of love-letters written by a gay old dog of a colonel. The supports are good.
