The introduction of Jane Eyre, best beloyed of all fiction heroines, to the screen, in the Select photodrama, “Womart and ife, ’ starring Alice Brady, is a notable event which has been awaited with -the keenest interest. This masterpiece by Charldtte Bronte, has made Jane Eyre a household word, and sharing in her popularity is the unfortunate Rochester, whom she loved so devotedly. This world-famous novel enjoys a doubly-high reputation, for seldom is a classic hailed by gen-i oration after generation with such love and interest by readers of both sexes of all ages,'and in all lands. “Jane Eyre” has been translated into a score of tongues, and in each of them the book easily holds its own as a favourite of favourites. Alice Brady as the unfortunate Jane needs no fulsome praise—she docs not act the role, she is Jane Eyre. Don’t miss the picture, at the Royal to-morrow night.
