TO-NIGHT! TO-NIGHT!

Leatrice Joy, a favourite of motion

picture fans, conies to the Princess > Theatre to-night in a. First Nationalpicture, “A Most Unworthy Lady^’ ' adapted from Townsend Martin’s strfge play of the same name. . The story ; deals with a wife who endeavours to: help her husband “get along’ by trying to influence other men. The. disastrous results of this plan make a story that is dramatic and tense, sustaining the interest of the audience, throughout and giving Miss Joy and her fellow-artiste opportunity for some really marvellous characterisations. As Laura Sargpant, the beautiful and attractive wife, Miss Joy is most happily cast. She demonstrates again that she' is one of the finest

dramatic actresses on the to-

day, and brings to a difficult/ role a %J warm and lasting sympathy. Miss Pkv,.Joy. seems to be more beautiful than ever in this picture, and certainly is one of .the “best bets’ ’ of the screen to-day. Sidney Blackmer, it Broadway stage actor of great . ability ? i» seen in the role of Humphrey Sarfeeant, the husband,, and brings to the ‘part an artistry that is practically flawless.. Walter Pidgeon is cast as the “other man,” and does the role very well.. indeed. Montagu Love giv<« his. usual smooth pei’fprmanee as;.the;?|^Beavy^^;fand- Josephine Dunn also visiSutstanding. Donald Reed, ■Robert'|Edeson, Florence Oakley and Wilson j*Benge make up a splendid , and whll-bialanced cast. “A Most Unworthy Lady” is splendid entertainment, and will serve to increase the popularity of Mips Joy wherever 1 it shown. .
