"BROWN OF HARVARD."

"Brown of Harvard," the picture] I which is the latest production of the ■ Selig Company, has been secured by the management for to-night's programme at the Theatre Royal, and makes a welcome addition to the many fine films shoAvn at the People's. The film is in six parts, and is in all respects a beautiful production, wliile the acting is of a very high order. The leading roles are taken by Tom Moore, and Hazel Daly, and each is splendid, Moore being manly and always convincing, Avhile Miss Daly has a charm that wins admiration. The picture is 'based on the book and play of the same name, and Tom Moore i lives again the character of Brown, the j Harvard University man whose idealism and sterling qualities set aflame the enthusiasm of people of both sexes. It is a picture that the old will like because it will take them Back to those days when life and?love were young, when ambitions were great, and when truth and honour were very real. It will please the younger generation by its breezy, human story-of a ycfung man's struggles and the difficulties of his^ early love affairs, as well as by the intimate views of university life and sport. Another instalment of "The Great Secret," the latest Gazette, and a fine comedy complete the programme.
