OPERA HOUSE. HAROLD LLOYD Vhy Horry” a six reel masterpiece starring Harold Lloyd will be shown at the Opera House to-night and to-morrow night. When Harold to th e South wa s sent by doctors, he’d been told he suffered every ill a man can have and not be laid out cold. In far-away Paradiso, where he took his ills and pills, Jim Blake, a roughneck renegade, was itching for some thrills. His outlaw gang did storm the town and take it by surprise and when our hero came along they knew they’d copped a prize. Into the dungeon h e was thrown—a giant for a cellmate, who did his best and freed the Bov when h e cured him of a toothache. In all our hero’s coddled life he’d never known such thrills. He looked about him for his nurse—his valet, too, was missing, and found the girl in the villian's arms—and lie was doing the kissing. Saving the dam sel s from distress had never been his calling an when he licked the dirtv scamp he found it most appalling. Th» villian had to leave the play, but Cupid entered in, though to win the girl took three reels more of laughs and fights and grins. The moral of this tale, ‘tis plain, is always turn about and look the other side of ills and cares, despair and doubt. So laugh in the face of your troubws. put on your hat and hurry alone; with the mob that’s seeking a throb from Harold Lloyd in “Why Worry?” The other star feature on to-night's programme is a five-reel Metro “The ( ninvited Guest,” featuring Jean Tolley, and Mary McLaren. It portrays an adventure story of New York Frisco and the South Sens, cm ,-ie eve of his marriage, his fiancee eloped with another man. His every dream —shattered ambition gone, he drifted to pearl hunting on the outskirts of the world. Until he rescued a womwi from the beastly desire of his partner, and with her went back to face civil!, sation. Then they met again—the woman who had thrown him over. Put what was she now? See “The Un invited Guest.”
