HUNTERVILLE THEATRE SENSATIONAL ATTRACTION FOR TO-NIGHT °The Bridge of San Luis Roy,” Metro-Goldwyu-Alayer's much-heralded filmisation of Thornton Wilder ’s celebrated novel, is the attraction at the HunterviUe Theatre to-night. It is one of the most important theatrical events ol the season. Plans to fum the Pulitzer prize-win-ning novel, a literary sensation, started widespread debate, because g! the srrangcne-«« of the stcry and the difficulties >f rutting it on the screen. But

under the direction o± Charles Brabin this was nut only done, but with almost ijtor Gdciity to the original book. Alajest’c settings, gieat cathedrals, picturesque wilds and strange, uncanny lighting and photographic effects; the thrilling spectacle of the wrecking of ;i great bridge over an Andean gorge, and vivid, intimate details that literally bare the lives of its characters are all woven into the central them, a story et love. The cast is a remarkable one, as fam'»us artists fill every principal role. Lily Damita plays the fiery dancer and Ernest Torr?nce is seen as Uncle Pio. Don Alvarado. Raquel Torres, Henry B. Walthall. Tully Alarshall, Emily Fitzroy, Duncan Rinaldo and many others arc in the cast. Hundreds of people appear in cathcaia! and bridge scenes, adding to the general effectiveness of the gripping drama of o’d Peru. Lovers of the best in motion pictures should not miss this unique and powerful atirantiou. This picture is commended by the censor for adult, audiences only. TAIHAPE • THE SINGING POOL.” Al Jolson, famed as a blackface comedian, lays aside burnt cork for the greater part of his new Warner Bros, super special, “The Singing Fool,” (showing to-day at matinee and tonight, also on Monday and Tuesday), and to a great extent plays his role straight. And he plays it not as a clowning, wise-cracking comedian, but with an emotional power and depth of feeling that are remarkable. Thus the screen production presents a new Al Jolson—a finished, dramatic actor, who in his new medium exercises an even greater sway over the hearts of his audience than before. As a singing waiter in a New York night club, and later as master of ceremonies in the gayest of the city’s cabarets, Jolson is seen as a man almost beaten down by a heavy hand of tragedy, following a beginning that seemed to promise him every human joy. Heading the star’s supporting company are two leading ladies in the persons of Betty Bronson and Josephine Dunn, and a host of other players, including Reed Howes, Arthur Holsman, and Robert Emmett O’Connor.
