A Surprise Meeting. The car was an unpretentious affair, a cheap grade, and had evidently seen long service.

So sang Kipling in Barrack Room Ballads, and that there is truth in this statement no will deny. But there are exceptions to every rule, no mat- ter how bounded it be by conventions of race or section, and in “Eye For Eye”, ane of thesa exceptions is set down in startiing and vivid svenes. The picture was taken mous play, “L/Occident”, written by the noted Belgian, Henri Kisteraeck- er. The story Is that of &n Arablan girl, flery and beautiful, who lives with her tribe in a city ol the edge of the desert. Duty tak young French naval officer to encampment and here he is prisoner. him, and releases him—Ilater aiding him in his escape. When the losé of the prisoner is discovered she con- fesses her help in his escape and for this act, is condemned to death, the Arabs abandoning her to the desert to perish from thirst and starvation. The beautiful girl is rescued but faces a denth worse than death—she is sold to a travelling circus as a danc- ing girl, and finds herself in the hands of & brutal master. Later she be- comes a member of the family of the man whose lifo she saved and be- comes involved in the intrigue which is rife in his family. All the passions ¢f human nature aro displayed In this stirring drama of Oriental and Occi- dental lite—Ilove, hate, jealousy, de- ceit, treachery and revenge--all have their turn In this gripping and ama. ing play.

This is the first time that a screen celebrity has appeared on the local stage, and what will add to the inter- est of the performance is just this thing. Here he is on the stage, hero he is on the screen. It goes without saying that he will be tendered a most cordial reception, for Mr. Bunny is well known to New Britaia folks. Years ago, when the spoken drama held sway en the Lyceum boards, he appeared there often, but times have changed and Mr. Bunny has kept pace with the times. and has made even a greater success on the screen When interviewed this said that he feared that he have to start all over again in ap- pearing at the Lyceum, for screen acting and stage acting have nothing In common.
