AMUSEMENTS.

- - — TOWN HALL.. Aristocratic English neighbourhoods and wild South African veldts, are. the scenes over which the thrilling story of “Wild Honey” moves. Lady \ivienne (Priscilla Dean) goes to the Transvaal to find out the true v alue of the property, in which her father, before he died, sank his wealth, and there she meets life in all its bare and rugged realities. The scene in which the dam breaks is a “thriller, whilst those in which Lady A ivienne is in tlie hands of the outlaws will make you forget that you are in a theatre, and you will live through all the suspense and peril, in which the heroine is moving. Robert Ellis plays the leading male role. The picture nill also be shown, at the niatinee and at the night sessions to-morrow. OPERA HOUSE. Mildred Harris, that famous and well-beloved screen star, appeals in “Habit,” which' will be shown at the Opera House for the first time tonight, and seldom has she had a role that suits her better than that of the undecided girl in this play. Which shall she choose? The love of the rich man, who offers clothes, wealth, everything but happiness—or, the poor one ; his offer—his heart —soul— and happiness. This drama answers the question eternal, and the climax is one so smashing and intense in its dramatic power that you’ll feel that you have never spent more' enjoyable hours between the four walls of a theatre. The picture, which is sup-, ported by another episode of “With Stanley in Africa,” will also be shown at the matinee and evening sessions to-morrow. “ONE (WEEK OF LOVE.” ’There is something positively big and fine in “One Week of Love, starring Elaine Kammerstein and' Conway Tearle, which is to be shown at the Opera House next Monday and Tuesday. Thrills and pathos combine to carry away the onlooker into other magic realms, and when the end comes, it is with a gasp that he or she realises his or her whereabouts. The “Great Out-of-Doors” is the scene of action in this big photoplay from the Selznick Studios. Miss Hammerstein, who flies her own ’plane, crashes, when she is racing one of her numerous admners, but she falls into the kind hands of Conway Tearle who is one of. the bad men of the Bad Lands. He. is human, however, and the climax of the picture is best witnessed.
