AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. NEW PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT. Beautiful Betty Blyth. queen of i spectacle, appears in another magnificent production made by a British producing company. Her newest appearance is in Graham/Wilcox’s “Southern Love/ 7 which was filmed in Spain. All movie fans remember Betty Blyth in “The Queen of Sheba, 77 and no one I could over forgot “Chu Chin Chow, ” j shown at this Theatre last year, but /‘Southern Love 77 is destined to bei come a permanent fixture in the memories of all who see this work of art. All the fascination of Sunny Spain, its romantic people and the adventure of a beautiful girl in a maelstrom of love, hate and jealousy, have all been cap-

[ tured by the producer and stored in ‘this remarkable film to be released here ’to-night. Life on the Now York stage 'always holds a peculiar fascination for those who are not familiar with the ; everyday happenings of the tinsclI coated performers behind the scenes, and a glimpse of the intrigue and jealousy behind the footlights in the great .White Way is given in “The Midnight I Girl/’ featuring Lila Lee and Gareth ITugb.es. But there is tragedy 1 among the glamour of stage life—the tragedy !of 1 hose who live too fast, the selficenire I devotees of heedless, unbounded joy. This remarkable film is the story of the pit falls of the gay way. the story being unfolded in unashamed frankness. Short subjects include comedies and gazettes. The box plan is now on view at Upton 7 s, or reservations may be made as usual by telephoning the theatre 2863.
