AMUSEMENTS.

OPF.R A lIOFSE—TO MOR ROW. D. AI.T.EAN IN “GOING Vl’.” Those who have flown in an aeroplane, those who have yet to make their first flight, and those who have vowed they’ll never lisk their necks Tin one will find an overflowing measure of mirth in “Going Up,” Douglas Mac Lean’s screen adaptation of the I musical comedy success, which opens at the Opera House to-morrow (Friday) night. The funniest moments of “Going Up’* come as they should at the finish, when Mr Mac L-an. posing as the celebrated aviator author, is forced ;o fly a machine against a celebrated French aviator. Yes; you guessed it! A girl’s heart and hand are at stake. Mr Mac Loan goes through every laughable stage of anguish before he finally ; sails into the air and his agonising ex- | pressions furnish enough hilarity to Last a week. Mac Lean is one of the best light comedians in the movies. JACK HOXIE, TO MORROW. Jack Hoxie has the role of a defender of the victims of the rapacity of a big irrigation company, in ‘‘The Sign of the Cactus,’’ Blue Streak Western, to be shown in the Opera House on Saturday nt the matinee, and again at night. There are two big spectacular scenes in the picture; one when Hoxie, as the nemesis of a grasping irrigation coiiipr ay, blows up the dam which impounds the water needed by the ranchers faring ruin, and the other when Hoxie saves from death in a rushing river, the daughter of the head of tiie frrigation company. Helen Holmes, famous serial star, is Hoxie’s-leading woman, and others in a strong cast are Joset Swicknrd.
