THE PICTURE HOUSES.

I COSY DE LUXE. • A new kind of hero is delighting picturegoers at' the Cosy Theatre, Hastings in the First National picture, ‘ ‘ The • Meanest Man in the World,” with Bert Lytell and Blanche Sweet in the leading roles. Richard Clarke, a young lawyer, decides that he can’t be successful unless he is mean. He is commit sicned to either collect a debt from one J. Hudson of Hudsonville or foreclose a mortgage. But J. Hudson’s first ini tial stands for Jane, and she is very pretty, and when the “meanest man” meets her his newly adopted business code suffers. Other popular players who are contributing to the success of this programme are Bryant Washburn, Maryon Aye, Lincoln, Stedman., Helen Lynch and Warde Crane. Another picture of considerable merit is “The Girl Who Came Back,” starring Joseph Dowling and Kennth Harlan. To-morrow’a Matinee. The Paramount picture, “The Flaming Barrier,” starring Jacqueline Logan and Antonio Moreno., will be the feature on the matinee programme tomorrow. A Century comedy and gazettes will support. MUNICIPAL. “Where the Pavement Ends” is the title of the big feature to he presented at. the matinee to-morrow afternoon., It tells a gripping story of a numan coxnbat against Nature, and against what is wrong.
