AMUSEMENTS.

PICTURE HOUSES. GRAND THEATRE. The Universal-Jewel production, "Human Hearts," starring House Peters, is the leading attraction this week at the Grand Theatre. House Peters is cast as a blacksmith, a fine specimen of manhood, a simple son of the Ozark Mountains. "Dangerous Business" is another fine film. STRAND THEATRE. The principal picture at the Strand Theatre this week is "Her Husband's Trade Mark," the theme of which is founded on tha strange creed of a man who believed that a show of wealth would attract wealth, and, believing thus, rowned his wife in a most extravagant fashion. QUEEN'S THEATRE. A railroad wreck is ono of the two big climaxes in "One Week of .Love," the leading fUni, produced by the Selzriick Company, which is now showing at the Queen's Theatre. The wreck comed when a passenger train plunges through the open span of a high bridge which has been damaged by the stream beneath it swollen to abnormal size and strength by a cloud-buißt in the mountains The minor films are all of good quality. GREATER CRYSTAL PALACE. Heading the current bill at Greater Crystal Palace _is "The Buiden of Proof, a Marion Davies production, with the favourite star, Miss Davies herself, in the leadingi role. The play is cast amid scenes of splendour in the homea of America's richest and most important people, and tho intorest is closely held throughout by the efforts of the U.S.A. Department of Justice to unravel a particularly perplexing case. "The Prisoner" and "The Leather Pushers" are also shown.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. The Paramount production "To Have and to Hold" is the leading feature this weei at Everybody's Theatre. It was stated in an advance notice that ''To Have and to Hold" was the most expensive picture ever made in the Lasky studio at Hollywood. It may be roadily affirmed that the vast expenditure incurred is justified by the results achieved in this tremendous production. The period of the .picture is that of King James I. of England. LIBERTY THEATRE. An attractive bill is being presented this week at the Liberty Theatre. "The Silent Voice" is the screen version of the much discussed story by Gouveneur Morris, which was published under the title of "The Man Who Played God." The principal character is John Ai'den, a world-famous pianist. An explosion plays havoc with him, and how he gets back to happiness forms a most interesting story. ■'High Speed" is another good picture.
