AMUSEMENTS.

PICTURE HOUSES. GRAND THEATRE. "The Sleny Go Round" is the chief attraction at tbe G?-and Theatre this week. Liie deale cruelly with tho heroine, and love does not bring its rev.'ard as quickly as it does in the usual Jovo story of tho day, but the trials to v.-hich she ia subjected and the hard t-lov/a which fate deils her are of life eg it .9 livej, not as the usual story-writer and the picture director would ir.ake it. There are several good supporting items. "THE EXCITERS" TO MORROW. '■Come down to earth!" is an expression especially applicable in the case oj Bonnie Hand, played by Be be Daniels, co-atarroi v,-ith Antonio Moreno in the Paramount picture, "The Exciters,'' which is due ac the Grand Theatre to-morro-.v. ilis3 Daniels, as Eonnic Rand, a typical elample of the modern girl, seems to talc a great delight in leaving mother earth ai far behind as possible. To accomplish this, Ronnie, to the annoyance of her parents, forces icto service a number of power boats and airplanes, either from her own collection or those loaned by admiring friends. But into the life of this caretreo (jirl comes a certain Pierre Martel, a supposed crook, v.'ho is in reality a secret Bervice agent, thu-% employed for the same reaßon that Ronnie employs speed wagons—for excitement. Antonio Moreno plays this role to perfection. It is at the firat meeting of this pair that the love interest of the story is brought to light. Their marriage in dramatic circumstances follows and then comes on unex cct ed climax. The picture is delightfully entertaining- and is said to have exception!' heart appeal. A strops? Fiipmrtin' programme will also be shown, particulars of which will be advertised to-morrow. GREATER CRYSTAL PALACE. The principal attraction at Greater Crystal Palace is "Tho Storm Daughter," a Universal Jewel masterpiece, with Priecilla Dean in tho main role. Hiss Dean, who ia probably one of" the m->Bt accomplished actreeses, and deservedly one of tho meet popular, has the role of her career in "Tho Storm Daughter," in whioh ehe-is colled upon to interpret the gamut of emotions felt by a woman who is subjected to great indignities by a brutal sea captain. Thero are good supports. STRAND THEATRE. The picture -which occupies pride of placo at the Strand Theatre ia entitled "The Flirt." It deals with the pretty daughter of a middle-class family. Cora'o flirtations with the men of the town, the struggle of the father for a living, how he is involved in a confidence game and -the eventual triumph of love, give the screen what ia perhaps its 'greatest blending of laughter and tears with drama. There are aho a number of other good items on. the bill. QUEEN'S THEATRE. "Flaming Barriers," a Paramount picture, heads the bill at tho Queen's Theatre. The producers have set themselves the task of producing a picture which should be packed with excitement from first to last. Thoy chose Antonio Moreno and Jacqueline Logan to lead the cast, and no bettor choice could hava been made. It is sufficient to_ state that the. producers acoompliehed their objective in every sense of the word. Thore are al3o quite a Aumbei of excellent supporting pictures. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. The story of "Black Oxen," the headliner at Everybody's Theatre, is full of interesting situations, and never flags. In the transference of tho - story to. tho screen there are naturally gains and looses. "While it is' impossible to enjoy the unfolding■ ot the/ plot. in Gertrudo Alhorton s own wolds, it is a great advantage to have the characters moving and acting before the eyo, and to see the noble scenery in the story has its setting. Thero are good supports , BERTY THEATRE. "Queen of the Moulin Rouge" is the principal feature at the . liberty Theatre thifi week. It ia a story of a French oountry girl who finds a home with two Parisian Bohemians. One of them haa tl» makingo of a violinist of the first grade. Tka young San, however, has not learned to impart into his muaio the feeling which vml P«oa him on a level of his own. How heaventually becomes a great musician and the part the girl plays to thwend malWthe principal theme of a magnificent picture.
