"The Balance" at the Strand, which has been threatened with extinction more than once, has been agiin reprieved. The present riui will continue until Dec. 16. when It must come off to make way for Arthur Bourchier's production of "Treasure Island," but It is hoped to continue the run at another house. "Bonnie Prince Charlie." No de- tails of this production are as yet available but it is probable that Will Kellino. the produce of "Bob Roy," wl-U also direct the new picture. The present film record for a run here is held by the D. W. Griffith film "Way Down East," which re- mained at the Empire for 19 weeks. This is likely to be well beaten by "The Four Horsemen" at the Palace which has already run for 16 weeks and which is booked well ahead.
