THE PICTURES.
“ WHITE SHOULDERS.” Two elements ,each of them with considerable force, contribute to the fundamentals jof (1 White Shoulders, ’ ’ starring Katherine Macdonald, at the local Picture Theatre to-morrow night. The first deals with the right, or even the duty, of a mother to land a rich husband for her daughter so that the daughter may escape the horrors of poverty, which has well nigh overwhelmed the mother. The second element, and the one which must impress itself on every one of less than unlimited means, deals with the evils of the credit system, and shows the meshes in which a person who buys on the instalment plan may become entangled. These two themes were skilfully interwoven by George Kibbe Turner when he wrote “White Shoulders” for the Saturday Evening Post, and the result is a photo-play plot far above the ordinary, and one which gives room for thought as well as entertainment. The supporting cast includes Bryant Washburn, Nigel Barrie, and little Dick Hedrick. This feature is of six reels, and is the best picture the lovely Katherine Macdonald has ever appeared in. The supports include a Gaumont Graphic, a Pathe Pictorial, and a two-reel Christie comedy.
