THE PICTURES. The intriguing romance of the famous Drury Lane orange girl, “Sweet Nell of Old Drury,” who found favour with King Charles the Second, comes to the screen in First National’s British production, “Nell Gwyn.” The title role in this film, is most marvellously played by Dorothy Gish, whose piquant personality and charm of coquetry make “pretty, witty, Nell” live again. The story of Nell Gwyn is known to almost everyone, and it is pleasing to note that the cast, with the exception of Miss Gish, is composed of English players. Although Nell Gwyn has no conspicuous place in English history, she was, and still is, a popular character in the story of England. This picturisation of “Sweet Nell of Old Drury” will be screened at Bulls Town Kall on Saturday, and not “For the Love of Mike,” as previously advertised.
