NEW PRINCESS THEATRE.
"The Pony Express," the star attraction showing at the New Princess Theatre again to-night, is a drama woven round the old days in the States, when North and South" were equally divided on the slave question, and when such differences were not settled in Arbitration Courts. Jack Weston is singled out to pay the extreme penalty for anti-slave orations, but makes a sensational escape to Colorado, where he becomes a pony express rider. His exploits in that job and his love intrigues form the action of a story that is thrilling and realistic, while the finale is all that could be wished for aB a climax—-the hero; married, marching off to war to do his bit for anti-slavery. Ricardo Cortez is the .express rider, and other stars are Betty Compson, Ernest Torrence, and Wallace Beery. "The Best People" is an excellent supporting feature.
