AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE. Unable to stand idle and see his family name bandied from mouth to mouth, Buck Jones, in his latest release, “The Branded Sombrero,” which screens at the Opera House to-night, 'tears through some impressive scenes. Throwing all thought of safety to the four winds, Buck gives one of his finest portrayals as Star Hallett, the adopted son of “Honest” John Hallett. SUNDAY NIGHT BENEFIT. Devotees of the screen with a fad for police dogs should see “Dynamite,” the peer of his breed, in the stellar role in “Call of the Heart,” which shows at the Sunday night Picture Benefit. The almost human portrayal of this canine star outshines his twolegged compeers of the silver screen. The picture unfolds a plot which is appealing in its action, drama and heart throbs. - DOUBLE STAR—MONDAY. Mil ton Sills starred in “The Valley of the Giants” at the Opera House on Monday, has one of the most colourful roles -of his career as the young lumber magnate, in this Peter B.
