AMUSEMENTS

THEATRE ROYAL 800DFT. SPECIAL TO-NIGRT In announcing Anita Stewart in her latest First National photoplay, “Sowing the Wind,” for the Theatre Royal this «veiling, the management feels perfectly .■safe in assuring its many patrons of soiling this popular screen actress at her very best. In fact, it is agreed among 'critics that this is one of her most notable contributions to the silent stage, and it is regarded as certain to increase her very large following extensively. If Miss ’Stewart has ever lacked the proper • opportunity before to give her tudculsi full scope, she is given the chance in “Sowing the Wind,’’ as she portrays a role requiring the most consummate skill as an all-round interpreter of the dramatic art in its highest form. All those who like really human stories, in which the star delineates character from a purely human standpoint, will like Anita Stewart in this picture. Tin most •interesting phase of the story hinges up' on the girl meeting the man of her heart and her subsequent Rattles to have and to hold him despite her maternal antecedent. The picture throbs with .■strong dramatic scones which are capably interpreted by a cast that deserves special commendation. Ralph Lewis, Myrtle Stedmnn, James Morrison and \V. n. Mong handle roles most accept-1 ably. “Sowing the Wind*’ is a photoplay which is said to he thoroughly diverting in character. It is a study in the weaknesses and virtues of mankind. “Why They hove Cavemen'’ is on of the most ■amusing eiicfiedics seen for some time. The Gazette i» full of the latest items, ami another Instalment of “Terror Trail' : completes what .is without doubt one of the best prngrummea yet shown at this popular house. Prices remain as usual. j HAYWARD’S PICTURES

PARA MO UN T TO-NIGHT

'GET RICH QUICK WALLINGFORD' All the world knows this famous play, ?tnd anyone that is fond of highly humorous ’"'entertainment will be found at the above picture house tonight, when it is the occasion of the j screening'of this seven-reel wmultr-play. Notwithstanding its humour, the picture has a heart appeal and a very strong V'lot. Frank, Borzage created it, and Iris 'work in “Humoresque” will be long remembered. Not a little of that vague, elusive “something” which made “Humoresque” stand out has been woven into “Gcl-Rick-Quick Wallingford.” Wonderful results have been achieved in the detail work, and the cast is superb. Sam Hardy as J. Rufus Wallingford is xycjl-known in musical comedy, and later in. the pictures. Norman Kerry, wlio will be remembered for bis work in “Buried Treasure,” gives a realistic impression of Blaekie DaAV. Fannie Jasper is cleverly portrayed by Doris Kenyon. They are .well supported by a, strong cast, among which will be found some of the quaintest characters ever filmed. Thci’e is also a new r Mack Sennet comedy and the latest American Paramount Gazette.. A programme that cannot be surpassed.
