DE LUXE THEATRE.

The love-story, or rather stories, for she has more than one episode, of a Balkan queen, forms the central plot round which the story of "A Forbidden Paradise," screening at the head of the new programme at the De Luxe Theatre, has been written. Miss Pola Negri takes the part of Catherine, and she gives a delightful characterisation of a most difficult character. She is supported, by Adolphe Menjou, as her chancellor and faithful subject. Rod La Rocque takes the part of a young officer of the Queen's army. A well-balanc-ed programme of new films supports the star subject. The musical programme as usual is a feature of the evening's amusement. , * "THE LOST WORLD." In the picturisation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stupendous story, "The Lost World," which commences a season on Friday at the De Luxe Theatre, First National has produced the greatest romantic venture ever screened. While i a tense' love story, designed strictly as screen entertainment, runs through its fourteen thousand feet,, "The Lost World" presents a picture of highly scientific value. The prehistoric monsters reincarnated for the film are exactly the same as those reconstructed by scientists from the discoveries among the remains of these monsters. "The Lost World" is unquestionably the biggest picture ever made, and First National are to be congratulated on the faithful picturisation of the most sensational book in litex'ature, the book that aroused the comment of the civilised world. The cast of over three thousand is headed by Wallace Beery, , Lewis Stone, Bessie Love, and Lloyd Hughes. Earl Hudson supervised the production, therefore pciture-goers can rest assured of the whole forming the most fascinatting production ever released in the Dominion. The box plans for the season are now on view at Tho Bristol, Aitken's Book Arcade, or reservations can be made by ringing the theatre.
