AMUSEMENTS.
“EAST LYNNE.” It is doubtful if any stage play ever has been shown to more people or in more cities and towns than “East Lynne,” which screens to-night and tomorrow night at the King’s Theatre. This perennial favourite has been in the repertoire of every stock company for the last two generations; it has played on Broadway, New York; it has thrilled the social elite as well as the gallery god in nearly every country on the globe. Why ? Because the story of “East Lynne” is based on intense love interest, on the devotion and selfsacrifice of a woman for her ideal—, and what more universal and lasting appeal need a picture or a play have than those elements?
QUEEN’S THEATRE.
A season or two back, that muchdiscussed question, should a woman sacrifice matrimony for a career? was attacked forcibly, yet impartially, by Charles G. .Norris. In “Bread,” showing at the Queen’s Theatre to-night and to-morrow night, Mr. Norris traced the adventures of a girl who asked for freedom and a career. The featured players are Mae Busch, Pat O’Malley, Robert Frazer and Wanda Hawley. Hobart Bosworth is also in the cast.
