STAGE AND STALLS. STAGE AN,,? STALLS. I GEAND THEATRE, Caroline." Mr. W. Somerset Mangham's ohaxming comedy, commenced auspiciously at Grand Theatre on Monday evening, anf the auclieneq was greatly amused. An entertaining piece, it provides allceasig I ripple of laughter, and the wit and bri lia.it dalliance in every episode of the work little suggests the grim place from which Caroline" first saw the light, for the gi eater part of it is admitted to -have been written in the trenches. There is a quaint story running right through the piece, and the character of Caroline75 IS of particu- lar interest to the feminine portion of the audience, if only for the reason that "Caro- line" is garbed in gowns of a wonderful and costly description, and are exact, re- plicas of those worn by Miss Irene Van- brugh in the original London production. :Mi,a Lilias Earle, makes a charminc Caroline' whilst Mr. G. B.HoDoway, as Eoberr, Oldham, is equally successful. Miss Josephine Middleton makes a hustling ISBA bella. French; Miss Katherine Carew was a line Maujle Fulton, whilst the other wen. takea partst were Dr. Cornish (Mr. Frank Stoney), Rex. Cunningham (Mr. Pennington- Cusb). and Cooper ("Miss Diana Wilson). The piece is preceded by a comedietta, "'Rei Dearest Friend." EMPIRE. All tastes are catered for in an excep- tionally strong all-variety programme at J the Empire this week. Heading the bill is Walter Bird's West End company in "Slip- pers. a new sensational dramatic bur- lesque with that laugh-compelling come- dian, Ernie Lciinga, as the principal. He figures as a very special cojafirtable who gets himself hopelessly entangled "whilst trying to unravel the mysteries of the Red Tri- ang'e Society," a feaxful looking gang who rob the rich to give to the poor, retain- ing a percentage for their trouble." Lotinga. keeps the audience laughing right tu the screaming climax. He will appear in the sketch, "Jimmy Josser, K.C on Thurs- day, Friday, and Saturday. Xever before. Serhaps, has a violinist been heard at 'the mpire so young and at the same time so brilliant as Mdlle. Olga Morselli, who created a furore on making her debut in London a few weeks ago Praise of her phenomenal powers may be best expressed in Kubelik's own tribute to this talented little lady: "I have "never hem sach deli- cate musical sentiment so eloquently ex- pressed upon the soulful violin." She is ist the very front rank of temperamental vio- linists. Few comedians "get home" with songs and "clean" patter like Nixon Grey, whose natural qualities for comicality and a good voice win remarkable popularity. Other attractive "turns" are provided by Harry Ford, the logical comedian;" Daisy Taylor, the dainty and popular Scotch comedienne; Flora CTome-W one of the most popular of ecena. song artistes: and Wood anl Welsh, balancing an.1 comedy eccen- trics. One of them balances a grand piano 0^1 h«js chin. THE ELYSIUM. I The fourth of a series of Wm Fox dramas —' A Family Stain' -is to be seen at the Elysium during the ilrat half of this week. The film deals to a great extent with social Jjfe in America. One of the many wonder- ful scenes pourtrayed is that of a remark- a'1'3 rainstorm, never seen" in ill is country. "Beugh Luck on a Rough Sea is an ex- ceedingly amusing L'Ko comedy, featuring good artistes who supply all the humojr. "Gaumont's' Graphic" als-i has a bag of interesting pictures. Other pictures are also shown. The chief item on Thursday will be Evelyn the Beautiful," a powerful Nor- disk drama. For Monday next, and dur- ing the wee1., Mr. Watson ba. secured the well-known singer, Mr. David Harry (late Llanelly), a tenor from Queens Hall, Lon- dot. THE PICTURE HOUSE. Wonderful are the expositions of charac- ter, as shown in the changing features that characterise the great picture, "The Coward, show,12 at the Picture House on Monday evening. The story is of Colonel .Teflerpon and his son, and the period the outbreak of the internecine war of the sixties in America. The heroic father and the (at first) coward eon are eonvincingly presented, and with art that rivals nature, by Frank Keenan and Charles Ray, the picture being an "Tdeal" one. His Auto- Rtfination," a two-part, triangular Key- stone. is a film in viewing which the criti- cal spirit would be out QL Dlace, but aa rol- licking, humorous, the "motor maniac" is quit. all right. The serial, A Diamond fro n the Sky" goes grinnir.-rly on. the grip especially tightening in the last picture shown, To be continued in our next." i —— CASTLE CINEMA. Victorien Sardou's famous drama, Dip- lomacy," is the chief film at 'the Castle Cinema during the early part of this week. It is beautifully acted and stagied in a man- ner that stamp3 it with the high -nark of excellence that all productions possess that are associated with the name of Daniel Frohman and the famous players. The piincipal players in the production are.weU known on this side of the Atlantic, and in- clude Mr. Wm. Gillete, Marie Doro, and ticvei-al others. The comij element of the programme is well sustained, capital filaii being provided by the Triangle and Nor- disk film companies. The orchestra. is also augmented, and throughout the afternoon and evening there is a fine feast of bar. mony On Thursday there will be an entire change of programme, when the beautiful Italian actress, Mdme. Hesperia. will be secvn in "Marcella." CARLTON. 1 Swansea must be crowded with people who revel in a good book It can ajso be s-t-ij that many such have been offended wnn the shattered version of their favour- ite book on the screen. Whatever may be said of this in some productions cannot be fcaio that the books cave suffered by :ue productions recently shown by the m-t iage- metit of the Carlton Jinemn Th week they are presenting The Picture of Dorian Gray," featuring Sidney Bland, Miss Pat O'Malley, and others. The picture is, an adaptation of the story by Oscar Wilde, and the story loses none of its interest by beiag filmed. The staging is good, a,.nd the acting is really fine. Among the other pic- tures we find "Col. Xutt in Mxico," a new comedy series likely to be shown weekly in this cinema. Her Step-Children," an A.B. dIama; "T& Breezy Widow's Suit," a very funny seaside come-ay; and Palhe'R- Gazette." On Thursday next "The Dream of Eugene Aram" is at the top oF the programme, with "The Corsican. Brothers." Never Again Eddie," and Col. Xutt's LIM Bet." On Monday next an extra special attraction is billed in Ultus and the Grey Lady," feat-uring Aurella Sidney and Marie bbeY. OXFORD ELECTRIC A picture which is indeed of a very higi* order tops a good bill at the Oxford for the, first three days. Stewart Romp and Crissie White are featured in The Sweater," a gripping drama with many thrills. The work is from the pen of Mr. Cecil Hep- worth, and is a clever picture-play of war- time conditions in the slums of liandon. "The War Gazette" presents some very striking pictures, which are followed by a grand varied programme, THEATRE ROYAL. Mr. Wilkinson has secured for the first part of this week a. most enjoyable pro- gramme of pictures. Chief amongst them is a five-reel production, entitled, The Old Homestead." The film is presented by Danic; Frohman. and is superbly acted by the famous Players' Company. The picture contains many beautiful rural scenes. Very cxniting and interesting was the 21st epi. sole of the Diamond from the Sky." the mysterious disappearance of (he diamond giving rise to much speculation on the part of the audience. At the Risk of Her Life," a powerful drama, was followed with irterest, while The Lion's Bride." another drama, compelled attention. Fun was the order when "Mixed Relations and Jack Hires, Stenographer," were shown.
