DE LUXE THEATRE.

"A Slave of Fashion," which opens at the Theatre De Luxe to-night, presents a human story exceedingly well told and beautifully produced. It is entertaining from start to finish, and is keyed at a tempo that holds your interest all through. The story is that of a very beautiful and unsophisticated girl who has lived in a middle western village all of her life, but has longed to go to the city, primarily to be able to see and wear —clothes. She gets her wish, but almost at the cost of her good name, and the wrecking of her home. However, the family honour and happiness are saved, and the girl wins a wealthy husband to boot. Norma Shearer is starring as the girl, Katherine Emerson. She is a remarkable actress as well as being an unusually attractive and beautiful girl, and gives a brilliant performance in this newest role. Lew Cody is featured as Nicholas Wentworth, and makes an ideal romantic lover. As usual, he gives a strong performance, for there is no more dependable player on the screen than Mr. Cody. Mary Carr, William Haines, Vivia Ogden, Miss Dupont, and James Corrigan all give splendid performances. The supporting bill has been carefully chosen, together with the music of the orchestra, under the baton of Miss A. Bryers.
