SHORTT'S THEATRE.

■ A^ splendid double feature bill constitutes the.-i change of programme at Shortt's Theatre. . "Counterfeit Love," played by an exceptional cast of film stars, is a thrilling story of the Dixie Turf, and life in/the Southern planta-tions/of-the States. The fun of the county, "fair and the excitement of the Derby finish combine to make excellent entertainment. The scene of a halfdozen or more thoroughbreds dashing arid plunging, and leaping at breakneck speed up the straight, with/love and fortune as the prize, is something which should delight the'hearts of al! picture patrons. The film tells of Mary Shelley, her stricken, sister Rose and their brother George, three members of a once wealthy family who have difficulty in retaining possession of their old homestead and estates. "Queen Bess," the only surviving ■ thoroughbred of the" once famous Shelley stable, wins the big race at the fair, and for a time the position^of the Shelley's is a little more secure.' Herbert Rawlinson is starred in the second feature, "A Million to Burn,"_ which tells of a young man of education who is "down ~on his luck'1 and takes a position as waiter in a hotel in the mountains. By force of circumstances more than desire, he becomes manager. There is also a wellchosen . programme of minor films, iacliiding a Gazette,' and 'the bill is to be repeated throughout the week. ■
