gation, besides being a well-trained
musical comedy company, trained by
long experience, together, Contains a

Common Law," comes to the Victo

ances each day, as the supreme
screen event o fthe present season.
"The Common Law," owing to its
boldness and fearlessness in dealing
with a vital subject, has been more
widely read than alvy- bool of -modern
days. Mr. ChanrtSfrs' ' novels are far
from being timid or retiring; on the
contrary, they are inclined to bold
ness and sensationalism, the prime
requisites of the true film story. It
has been successfully transferred to
the screen and by its undeniable
frankness will undoubtedly create
much comment.
The story itself concerns the life
