ENTERTAINMENTS.
ST. JAMES THEATRE. “THE MAN FROM DAKOTA.” “The Alan from Dakota,” the rousing adventure story starring Wallace Beery and showing finally to-night, tells of a beautiful girl and two liarnhoiled soldiers trapped behind enemy lines and their breath less escapades endeavouring to escape. John Howaru and Dolores Del Rio are featured. What is undoubtedly one of the best double-star bills yet presented is scheduled for Thursday and Friday. Acknowledged as one of the finest films of this or any year “The Story of Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet” takes pride ot place. The picture dares to deal (daring for the screen) with the subject which, has till recently been taboo for any kind of public discussion. The screen deals with scientific honesty and dramatic integrity, dignity and good taste. Discovery of the specific (t>Ub) for conquest of one of the terrible social scourges and a vivid record of the doctor who made that discovery through indefatigable research and against harsh odds is powerfully revealed. Throughout the film there is nothing to shock or embarrass. Edward G. Robinson is starred and gives a performance that ranks.with the screen’s greatest. The associate star, “Hell’s Cargo,” is an exciting mystery sea story with a novel twist which proves weird, thrilling fare. *
