THTXIRI HAMJNGb

There was not a spare seat in the Princess Theatre last evening when Lois Weber’s striking allegory, “Hypocrites,” was screened for tne first time. If any of those present went to see the picture for the gratification of curiosity they must have been disappointed, for it is produced in such an artistic manner and its difficult theme treated with such delicacy that it gives no offence whatever. The story- of “Hypocrites” is a beautiful conception.—A monk, secretly in his cell, works on a statue of a nude figure which is to syrnbo.ise “Truth.” Upon a certain day the statue is publicly unveiled and the populace, angered by this naked representation, kill the monk and destroy lus masterpiece. The spirit of Truth then rises from the shattered fragments and goes forth into the highways and byways of life holding up her mirror to the shams and hypocrisies of men and women in all classes. Margaret Edwards appears in the role of Truth, while the other characters are remarkab.y vil -uited to tlicir parts. The auxiliary pictures on the programme are a splendid selection, comprising topical scenic and comic subjects and cartoons. In order to be sure of a good seat in--tending patrons are advised to book at Hall's

EVERYBODY’S THEATRE, HASTINGS.

Another change of programine will be screened to-night at this theatre, the principal attraction being a 5 act Lasky drama entitled “The Immigrant” featuring the beautiful actress, Valeska Suratt.” A notable feature of this production is the splendid acting and the settings, some of the scenes during the immigrants voyage to America being really magnificent. The picture also contains many happenings of intense excitement and interest, making it one which cannot fail to please the audience In addition to this the Metro travelogue a scenic subject of more than usual merit, will be repeated, making up a splendid programme. The entertainment is greatly enhanced by the delightful music of Everybody’s Orchestra.
