AMUSEMENTS.
i | HIPPODROME THEATRE. :• To-morrow there will be a complete ■ cliange of programme at the Hippodrome Theatre when a double feature bill will be presented. The main attraction is "0. U. West," with Lefty Flynn in the main role. This is a Western drama. The cleansing winds of the open spaces rustle trough a fast-moving story of adventure ,iii,l love beyond the lofty Rockies. The ?«tory concerns the scapegrace son of a millionaire who, disowned and dishonoured, is brought back to his rightful place by a courageous girl. This great story of regeneration should appeal to picture-goers. The second attaotion — "Mumsie"—features Pauline Frederick. It is a powerful drama of mother love. A devoted mother living with her family in a French village is betrayed by her bestloved son. This is a gripping subject for Miss Frederick's talents. A notable cast, including Herbert Marshall, Nelson Keys, and Donald McCardle, supports the star. PIANO STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION.
