"UNDER FALSE COLOURS."
, .There'is a full supply of excitement in the Pathe drama i entitled '.'Under. False Colours," screening' to-night - at Haywafd's. Frederick Warde and,Jeanne Eagles have the leading parts,' and Robert Vaughan is also prominent. Jeanne Eagles plays the part of a Russian, Countess Olga, who escapes from Russia through the assistance of Jack Colton, who is there negotiating a loan. On her way to America the ship is torpedoed, and a cabin companion of the Countess dies. She is persuaded to impersonate this girl, and so finds herself at the house of Colton, father of the man who; has assisted her. The Coltons became very fond of her, But a secret society of which she is a member wish her to entrap Colton and so obtain his money. A struggle ensues between her patriotic duty to the Russian revolutionary cause and her loyalty to tho people who have befriended her. • The denouement is entirely unexpected, and comes on top of a very exciting situa-' tion. The whole story moves at a rapid pace, and does not allow the interest to1 waver for a moment. It is an excellent i mystery tale finely told. Another chapter of the super^serial,. "The Mystery of the Double Cross," is on the programme.1
