STRAND THEATRE.
"Merry-Go-Kound" .and "The Hound-of tho Baskervillcs" aro the two features which commenced at the (Strand Theatre to-day. Mary Vhilb;iv-and ."Norman Kerry head', an excellent, cast in "Merry-Go-Roujul,'.' •a romance tinctured with the deepest kind oi' ipathos. A little drudge grinds out tunes-on an'organ at the command of a cruel and relentless taskmaster, but into her life comes a Prince Charming. Though the director has coloured the picture with Austrian court life—with pomp and ceremony, he never crowds these'two characters, who are over in the foreground. The picture blends An every scene without a jarring noto, and the • figures ; aro forceful and the tender romance' strikes home. "The Hound of the- Baskervilles" is adapted from one of Sir Arthur .Conai: Doyle's most famous detective stories. Iris a thrilling mystery romance of Dartmoor, written round a ghostly hound, and the use it is put to by a scoundrel.
