“THE CHRISTIAN.” Those who have not yet been fortunate enough to see “The Christian” should not miss th 3 opportunity of doing so either this afternoon or tonight. It is, indeed, a master produc tion and a faithful interpretation of Hall Caine’s famous novel of the name. The story, as is well known, embraces one of the greatest love stories the world has ever known. The parts of John Storm and Gloria Quayle are vividly played by capable artists. Takeu all round, this is a picture that cannot fail to please any taste. COSY DE LUXE.

The trouble with the genie is that, after more than 6000 years’ imprisonment in the bottle; he is not up to the times.
