AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE. A motion picture that has the speed of a machine gun. That’s ‘‘The Enchanted Hill,” a version of Peter B. Kyne’s latest novel, which comes to the Opera. House to-night only. The story gets its title from the fact that the ranch house, around which most of the action centres, has been built on a very high hill commanding a magnificent view of the country foi miles around. The plot has to do with, the spectacular fight waged to keep their cattle ranches, which a nang of desperadoes are trying to take away from them. From start to finish there isn’t a dull moment in the picture, what with fist fights, machine gun battles, airplane thrills and feats of horsemanship. There is a vein of mystery, charming love scenes and plenty of comedy relief to balance the more sensational portions of the story. , ~ Rex Buddy and Art Acord are tlie stars of “Rustler’s Ranch,” which is coming to the Opera House to-night only. Rex is Acord’s highly -intelligent dog; while Buddy is his almost human horse. Both animals have prominent roles in this picture. “THE KENTUCKY FOUR.” The management of the Opera House»announce with pleasure that they will present on Wednesday night a. special vaudeville and pictures programme.
