AMUSEMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE—TONIGHT. “THE LIGHTHOUSE ifY THE SEA.” Albert Dorn, a young Belgian, shipwrecked off the coast of Maine, would 'have perished had it not been for his d°g, Rin-1 in-Tin. They Eave been comrades since the days they did their bit in the World War, and Rin-Tin-Ti n saves his master’s life by first aid methods. After an exciting battle with a man-eating shark, Rin-Tin-Tin succeeds in getting Dorn to the beach where Flora Gale, the daughter of old Caleb Gale, the lighthouse keeper, finds him, and with the aid of the dog revives him. Ever sine© Caleb’was afflicted with blindness, Ke and Flora had lived in seclusion fearing that village gossips might discover his blindness and report it to the inspectors, thus depriving him of his jobDorn is alone and friendless, Flora offers him a position at the Light, realiz ing he is just the person to help her father. Dom falls in love with Flora, but his suit seems hopeless, as she is infatuated with Edward Cavenna, a dapper young stranger. Dorn instinctively distrusts Cavenna as does his dog, but Flora becomes indignant. Dorn attend to the Light now and Rin-Tin-Tin is always on hand to help him. Cavenna, unknown to Flora is the leader of a band of bootleggers operating along the coast. Caleb is warned that Government cutters are on the look-out for rum-runners, and to guard the Light. Cavenna’s henchmen kidnap Dorn and the dog, so the light will be unprotected. After'*that it is an easy matter to overcome old Caleb, as Flora is asleep in the adjoining cottage. Out at sea the watchers on the Government boat are dismayed to see the Light go out, while the rum-runners take this as their signal to make for the l coast. Rin-Tin Tin succeeds in breaking out of the burlap ]>ag lie has been tied in, but outside of freeing Dorn’s hands is helpless. Dorn sets fire to an oil-soak-ed rag lying nearby signalling Rin-Tin-Tin to use it for the Light. The dog dashes off to the Light with the burning rag in his mouth anti as the trap door under which the lantern hangs is open the dog drops the burning rag into the Light. From this point the action rushes to an exciting conclusion. How Cavenna attempts to kidnap Flora, the daring encounter between the revenue officers and the bootleggers and Rin-Tin-Tin’s heroism make “The Lighthouse by the Sea” one of the most thrilling pictures ever produced. This remarkable picture can only be shown to-night only.
