THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPEA –

WORLD THEATRE.

"The City of Purple Dreams."

This magnificant picture in six parts attracted ■ largo boURG yesterday at the World Theatre and is only to be shown for two [days more, to-day and to-morrow

at 5.15 and 9.15 p.m.

This picture is based on a novel written by Edwin Baird, and was produced by Colin Campbell Thomas Santschi is oast in the leading role, that of a derelist. Of the two feminine characters, Bassia Eyton appeara 3.5 the wealthy girl and Fritzi Brunette jas Exther, the girl anarchist.

These three are the chief roles, the only others of any great [consequence to the story being the wealthy girl's father and an anarchist named Olaf.

The story opens with an en- counter between the derelict, « young strong-looking fellow, and the wealthy girl. Har auto just I missed bumping into him, and out of sympathy Miss Otis gives him a dollar, adding a word of advice, "Clean up and keep clean.” The derelict begins to act on this good advice, but later meets Esther, the anarchist. She falls in love) with him, and advises him to

take what is yours."

The opening of the narrative presents an interesting situation. but unfortunately subsequent developments prove dis- appointing. The berd quick. ly loses sympathy when he pro- ceeds to do so many unscrupulous things. He threatens to blow up the millionaire, Otis, unless he gives him ten thousand dollars. For this action be is committed to an asylum from which Esther helps him to escape. He knows of Eather's love for him, but proves natrus to her, and, in the course! of the story, after he has won great wealth by crooked means, he marries Misa Oris.

It would have been the logical thing for him to marry Esther, instead of which he permits her to take her own life. As the stor goes the derelict turns out to be a gentleman by birth, des- canded from an old Virginis family and Esther is killed by explosion by which she is asked by the anarchists to murder the Ambassador.
