ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT. “Holiday,” a tensely emotional drama of high society, starring Ann Harding and Edward Everett Horton, will be finally screened to-night. Friday and Saturday. A compelling and extremely moving narrative of the effects of prison environment on a young* boy is told “The Big House,” to be screened on Friday and Saturday. George Hill, the director, achieved a masterful touch in playing a searchlight on the devastating aspects of contact, with hardened criminals, the frustration o, confinement and the pathetic separation of the boy from the girl he lovey. The acting of the large cast is well nigh perfect, such players as Lewis Stone, Wallace Beery, Chester Morris, Robert Montgomery, and Leila Hyams giving what seems to this reviewer unparalleled performances of sterling worth. , ’ “Way Out West” will be screened at Blackball to-night, and “Streets of Chance” Friday and Saturday.
