AMUSEMENTS

' . OPERA HOUSE. « ' Racing drztiuas are always favourites with picture patrons . and to—night’s star feature “A. l"ortune at Stake,” is one’ of the best of racing dramas, written «by the prince of writers, Nat, Gould and acted by_nvo_ of the screen's leadilig artists, Gerald ‘ Ames and Violet Hopson. “A ,Fortune_at Stake" if‘-not better than “Tlie \Vhip” is claimed "as equal. First past“ the post and lengths ahead of all its contemporaries is the English production’ of “A Fortune at Stake”, starring Gerald Ames, greatest screen actor of the} ‘clay, and Violet Hopson, foremost jexponiiit of emotional roles in-England.- }l‘he story is by that king of;',all,:_racinsg writers, Nat Gould, and it provides the true at]llOSpll*_l'~e of sport and playiiig the _ganle, that is associated with' British’ love M‘ fa‘-' play, and the sport of kings that is also the king of sports. No fakes or substitutes are provided in the racino: scenes’-——the race is a race. with riders and hor-es striving to‘ the utmost to win. No lover of the sport, and especially those few lnm.rl.l‘e'ds of thousands who have avidly read ‘ Gould’s great stories. should miss this production_, which. makes fitting answer to all the claptrap that has lately been talked about. the poor quality of British film. The 11th epi~ sode of “Mystery 13” will be screened a.s‘.a support. Pollarcl’s orchestra will render the musical pO_l'tioll-'OI therrograinme and prices will be the usu'al prewar tariff. On Sunday eveningfia new World film,fe-ature “Coax Me”. is a splendid rollicking comedy full"'of go‘od- pure fun. .Be in the sunshine, be coaxed and come and see “Coax Me.”

in a lifetime. It is a picture of crooked lives made straight, of sordid lives made bright, all by the wholes some sway. of the country and _an old man's faith and trust in men and in the power to heal._W _“T_he Miracle Man" is no pl'U])£lg'iLll(lil. iilm, it has no creed save humanit-_y—-it is simple. but a vivid and vital story of human liearts, told on the screen in scenes of marvellous \'aric.ty. l\'iaski'ng‘ their purpose with studied siixiilitude of meekness and appealing need, {he four cl'eaflli'es frnm the umlol'\vm'ld ivsinuate themselves into the life of ‘the l’atl'ial'ch.” Speech and hearing and sight gone, his spirit is all*eav.l;,r half ’ \vitlldl‘awll.from the world, but through the silence and dal'l{lless {lint envelope him there realches his soul some haunting sense of the evil that thi-c-at-ens him. He has no a'rmoul' against it save his purity, no weapon save his faith. Yet with these he overvomes.‘ The first screening of “The I'»lil'acle Man" will be given by International Al"tl'actions on tn—lnorl-mv, Saturday evening in Man_dl’s Hall. Blackball.
