TFarle Willlams has a somewhat 4iffer. ent production in The Man From Down. ing Street, which will be shown at ¢ Breed theatre Sunday. Monday and Tue day. This production was directed & Edwarg Jose, who has won a reputation for directing big pictures. Betty- Ross Clarke appears opposita Mr. Williams in the leading feminins role. Williams impersonates an East Indian rajah Auring the greater part of the Diece, and wears some szceptionally elaborate robes. many of which were ime portad from India. In the leading character Willams has the role of a British secret sorvice agert Her repertoire Ineludes a wide range of variety. There is the sprightly rhythm of the dance songs, the colorful compo- sition of the charm-songs, the irresistabie beauty of the love songs of various coun- tries of the Orient as well as of the Occi- dent. To her audiences she depicts a true pieture of the native life of which her songs are the product: and her beau- tiful costumes ‘add color to thin picture, The discourse which she gives in expla- natlon of her songs makes her program doubly interesting.

Not for a moment can one realizs that the boy is being directed be- fore a motion picture camera; he goes through his part—and it is a considerable one—in a remarkably natural manner, ap- parently cblivious of the fact that there is a cameraman Awithin_eya rnge. “Itchie” appears in fully half of the picture, and one constantly wishes to see more of him A clever comedy closes the bill, who is endeavoring to discover a tral orous leakage of code messages from Enifland.
