The subject was adapted to the kinematograph by* Mr Harold Shaw, from the book of Mr Bannister Merwin and it- has been produced by the London Film Company in excellent style. The title role is played by Miss Edna Flugrath. whose clever work is a. notable feature of the production. The present drama gives her ample scope as a homeless, starving girl in the grt'af metropolis, aud she is splendid in the closing scenes, which require more than ordinary ability to achieve the best result. One ot the principal supporting items is ‘‘Hogan’s Aristroeratic Dream.’’ a highly amusing Keystone comedy, in which the now famous Charles AT array scores heavily- There is always something new about the comedies in which Charles Murray appears, but they never fail to provoke' hearty laughter from start to finish. Another good oorrjedy is "William Henry Jones’s Courtship.’* The Edison Company is represented by “The Phantom Thief,’’ a drama partly written by Mark Swan, and complet'd by Miss Maude Ckvnent Moore for a prize of 1000 dollars, presented HY" the “Dailv Mirror.'* Other numbers are: The latest “Topical Gazette,” «nd a ch.arming v-ita-grwph scenic, “Picturesque X’alifomia.” The local film of the Show ,« also included hy special request.
