AMUSEMENTS.

ROXY THEATRE. To-night will see the final screening of the double-feature Western programme at the Roxy Theatre. Buck Jones in his latest outdoor film, "The Dead Line," and Tim McCoy in "The Fighting Marshal," are the chief attractions. An impelling drama will comprise the change for the coming week. This is "Secret Service," starring Richard Dix. This captivating "heman" will be chiefly remembered for Ihu immortal film "Cimarron," also "The Public Defender" and "Young Donovan'.? Kid." A fine cast of players has been collected, including such actors and actresses as Shirley Grey, Virginia Sale, Nance O'Ncil, Gavin Gordon, and Fred Warren. Shirley Grey's work in particular was noteworthy in "The Public Defender." The film, in whir'i some fine Nature studies are to be seen, is a thrilling drama built upon a story of the troublous times of the American Civil War, in which Richard Dix is telegraphist, dispatch-rider, fighter, and, as Richard Dix must be, lover. "Secret Service" deals with a practically unexplored theme, and the development of the original conception is very good. HOSPITAL CONCERT. Songs, dances and sketches were included in last night's programme presented by the Neville Carlsen Revue Company to an appreciative audience in Ward 2of the Public Hospital.
