It is some time since Squibs was ! born into the film world to become immediately a favorite with the pub- | lie. Her popularity was increased | enormously with, her adventures in | winning the Calcutta Sweep and mn | response to public demand, George | Pearson pictured her further adven- tures as "Squibs, M.P." Now, with her determination to get married, he brings these adventures to a happy ending with "Squibs' Honeymoon," which is to be the last of the Squibs pictures. No picture produced by George Pearson needs a recommendation, neither is it necessary to talk of the | popular appeal of a "'Squibs" pie- ture, which is already established. It remains only to say that in "Squibs' Honeymoon," which opened to a large house at the Capitol theatre last night, Mr. Pearson has given us a film which is a complete entertain- ment in itself a skilful blending of comedy and romance, with many of the finer points for which he is re- nowned. Among such may be men- tioned his presentation of Squibs' wedding, a cameo of simplicity and beauty, original in treatment and touched with the fine point of poe- tical inspiration that must find emotional response in every woman. The Hot Dog a Spot Family comedy and the usual short subjects round out an excellent bill. DOROTHY MACKAILL AT THE STRAND Laughter and tears; ecstacy and despair; innocence and crime lay their dark impress on Creighton Hale and Dorothy Mackaill, as they start their trek on the bridge of life, gay with youth, vibrant with hope, laden with dreams of love and glory, which turn to dolorous prayers and bitter struggles against sorrow and injustice. You should not miss "The Bridge of Sighs," the famous story by Charles K. Harris, which has been picturized and will be seen at the Strand theatre, beginning to-day. PARROTT'S BAY NOTES.
