SHORTT'S THEATRE.

The current programme will be shown for the last time to-day at Shortt's Theatre. "The Face in the Fog," with Liona! Barrymore and, Seena Owen in the lead, is one of the big nota-blo productions of the year. It is said to fairly quiver with thrilla all through, and offers a remarkable expose of criminal methods. The other special feature, is "One Wild Week," in which Bebe Daniels, one of the most noted of screen artists, plays the lead. "VALLEY OF SILENT MEN." One of the most vigorous photoplays screened for some time, "The Valley of Silent Men," will be shown at Shortt's Theatre to-morrow. Alma Rubens occupies the,stellar role in the character of a Canadian girl who loves a corporal in the North-west Mounted Police. The latter, believing himself to be dying, confesses to a murder he did not commit in order to shield the girl's brother. Lew Cody, playing opposite to the star, gives a very fine rendering of the character he portrays. Others in the cast are George Nash; Joe King, and Mario Majeroni. The second feature on the programme is "The Ghost Breaker,"- in which Wallace Reid and Lila Lee play the leads. The picture is described as melodrama with modern trimmings. In addition to clearing out' a lot of ghosts in a feudal castle in Spain, the hero experiences a thrilling fight in a New York elevator, and chases a liner across the Atlantic. The supports are varied and include a Burton Holmes travelogue and an American Gazette. Special music ha-s been arranged in connection with the screening of the new programme.
