AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT. “Lonesome,” the action of the story, is laid in the world’s greatest playground, and consists of swimming in the surf, riding madly over the dizzy heights of a scenic railway rising towards the sides in a Ferris wheel and pausing in a fairy palace. Bands play' ing, people 'shoulting, confetti flying, everybody happy. Starring in z this great production are Glenn Tryon, the famous comedian in a role of great comedy and great drama. It is a unique story of great power depicting the romance of an everyday boy and girl who are lonesome, although living among millions of people, until they find each other and happiness. Tim McCoy in “Sioux Blood” gives another great out-door romance and is ably supported by Marion Douglas. The story deals with two brothers who were separated in childhood by an Indian massacre and re-united over the woman they both loved.
