ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE.

“Give and Take,” a comedy special, is to be screened at this evening’s performance. The story touches one of the modern phases of business and shows the advantages and disadvantages of the system whereby employ- ' crs share in the profits of the company for which they work. It concerns a fruit canning- factory. The owner has built up his business step by step, bearing the entire responsibility of financing it. His son returns from college and feeling that as he is a member of the firm, and should demonstrate fair play to the employee, endeavours to put the business on a profit-sharing basis. “Stairs of Sand” will be screened at Sunday night’s picture benefit. The story has to do with a young dance hall girl in an Arizona desert town of the late 80’s, who is loved by two “bad” men of the town. Her struggle to free herself from the power of their iron wills seems futile, until a young Easterner appears upon the scene, triumphs over the menace, and wins her love. VAUDEVILLE.
