AMUSEMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE

The big live-act Moroseo urania, "The-Stronger Love," with the charming girlish star Vivian Martin in th« leading role, and the 2000 ft. Triangle Keystone comedy "His Busted Trust," will form the star attractions in tomorrow (Wednesday's) all new display by Pollard's Pictures -at the Opera House. Vivian Martin is a dainty and naturally graceful artist, and as "Nell Service," the beautiful wild flower of the mountains, with her wondrous mop of curls, looks the part. Her performance of the girl who gave her all for the man she loved —a love. ivr which she had to pay the sacrifice that few women are called upon to y,o through, is a marvellous clever olio marked with strong dramatic and emotional power that is cleverly relieved with quaint touches of humour. Jack Livingstone, an actor new to CJreymouth patrons, is a manly handsome hero, and the plot is really original. The photography is good, and the many scenes in the mountains, brought about by the blood feud between tlic mountain families, are sensational in the extreme. The roaring 2000 ft. Triangle Keystone comedy, "His Busted Trust," is included in to-morrow night's all new display. Pollard's talented artistic orchestral quartette will render the musical portion of the programme.
