THEATRE ROYAL.

"PAY ME."

i?he headliner at the Royal t©-mefct Pay Me" is another Jewel production, but different altogether as to story and artists, from all previous releases. "Pay Me" is a strong melodrama of the timber-camps of the West. Full of action and force, it is what might be well termed "a good red-blooded" .story of men and women who mainly live outside the law. The story is well handled and the plot cleverly developed, and every artist is particularly well chosen, the acting being of a remarkably high standard, with Dorothy Phillips in the lead, her charm and beauty making a striking contrast to the rough surroundings of the Western timber camp, and the glare and glitter of the gambling saloon jn which she is forced to live.' The supporting items on the programme are of tho usual hjjjh standard. In' addition to the "Weekly Review," there is a bright and clever Christie comedy, "Just Like Dad." and a remarkably interesting educational "The Wanderer and Whozit."
