ENTERTAINMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. "The Love of Sunya," in which Gloria Swanson is featured, will be screened finally to-night. It is altogether an unusual picture, with settings of rare charm. It is some time since Gloria was seen by Ashburton patrons, but she has lost none of her technique in the meantime. The chief attraction for to-morrow night and Saturday, will be "The Honeymoon Express.'' It is one of the most decided hits of screen realism of the season. It depicts the home, life of a typical American family, amusingly, humanly, and with much insight. For the matinee and again at night there will be "Ankles Preferred," a Madge Bellamy comedy. "Damaged Goods," Eugene Brieux's powerful indictment of the suppression of knowledge which would help the world to rid itself of «i terrible spurge and ties the hands* of reformers who are trying to investigate the matter, is less a story than a warning. The film version, winch will be shown on Monday and Tuesday, also makes the story secondary to the moral. Highly technical digressions which were rather too frequent in the book hay& been dropped in the film.
