WEDNESDAY. The great double bill to be presented on Wednesday and Thursday evenings presents Larry Semon in his latest, “The Bakery,’’ and Hamion Hamilton in the big drama, “Half a Chance.’’ This truly gre: t drama is Frederick Bham’s famous story of disappointment, defeat, strife and hate; then attainment, success, victory, love. It pulsates with a sympathy attune'l to your heart throbs. Its action stretches from the depths to the heights of the social scale —from the dives and prize rings of the Barbary coast to a shipwreck in mid-ocean, a lonely island, am! back to civilisation, the law and high life. “Half a Chance” enjoys popul,irb-»- for il is the sort of story th it appeals to the masses—the story of a in: n who, sunken to the depths, batters his wav through almost insurmoii”' able obstacles with the sheer force cf physical dominance, determination and will power.
