The Plunger”1 is described as one of the best pictures- that George Walsh has ever appeared I in. and is just full of that glorious en-; crgy and young Americanism which• characterizes every Walsh picture.. Walsh has as dainty and pertty a lead-■ ing woman in the person of Virginia . Valli as one could wish to sec.

'1 he special feature for Sunday night !1 only is “The Fatal Hour. one of thei most thrilling melodramas ever filmed, j• and full to the very brim with excit-'lt; ing and awe-inspiring events. Moti- 1 vated by that most dangerous of all human weapons—a woman’s hate—it re- ' counts a stirring story. Against a • brilliant background of English high social life is unfolded the tale of Lieut. ■ Nigel Villiers. heir to the title and estates of the Marquis of Deerniinster. who. because of a snub to an actress■ of the music halls, is made the victim 1 of a startling conspiracy to defraud himof his inheritance.Then comes the daring attempt to- steal the famous Crown jewels from the Tower of London : the escape and pursuit of the thief, and then with kaleidc-scopic speed, a sudden transition to the snow covered fastnesses of the Swiss Alps, where the drama reaches its1 breathless climax in a desperate hand-to-hand conflict at the edge of a yawning abyss.; The third episode of “The Dragon’s Net.” featuring Miss Marie Walcamp. the most daring woman on the screen.. will also be shown. It is in this episode that the search for the lotus petals reaches Japan, and all the scenes were really taken in Japan. A screamingly funny comedy an dthe International News complete the Sunday night show.George Walsh in “The Plunger.” and The Dragon’s Net will remain for the first half of the week in conjunction with a remarkable bill of all star vaudeville headed by Donna Montran and her Bathing Beauties.
