AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES -MARSHAL NEILAN’S •• MIKE” —TO-NIGHT. For more reasons than one is “Alike,” a Mctro-Goldwyn-Alayer production remarkable, and much above the level of the usual screen offering. Its very name, “Alike,” breathes of its free comedy possibilities. It is the latest production from Marshall Xeilaii. the brilliant director, whose pictures have become a standard of the movie world. It was Xeiian who made “ Dinty,” “ Minnie,"Go and Get it,” and “ Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.” f)ne other feature is that “Alike ” is the film in wliich Sally O’Neil, the new sensation of the silversheet, makes her debut before Australasian audiences, although Hie has been a screen idol in America for many months. She promises to be the screen’s foraniost comedienne, and combines a booutiful face and figure with an intriguing. personality. “ Alike ” is going to make screen history. There is nothing surer. There has never yet been so glorious a combination of thrills and laughs—with perhaps a heartache at Sally’s Irish wist fulness—and the galaxy of comedians in the east makes success even more sure. This film come to the Princess Theatre to-night and includes in the cast William Haines, Ford Sterling, Charlie Afurray, Xed Sparks, and Sam do Grasse. A good supporting series will also ho shown, including a topical and comedy.
