AMUSEMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT. REGINALD DENNY IN “ON YOUR TOES." “The Leather Pushers" have virtually come to life again in the Regi nald Denny’s now feature comedy “ On Your Td \s," which will be shown at the Opera House to-night. This is asserted to be one of the finee.st of all the Denny films by those who have been privileged to see previews of it. Denny plays the role of Elliott Beresford, son of the famous Young Evans, of “Leather Pushers" fame, while Hayden Stevenson,, who made such a hit as the prize fight manager in the early two-reel comedies plays, a similar role in “On Your Toes." Barbara Worth enacts the feminine lead, with Frank Hagney, Mary Carr, Gertrude Howard and George West playing the other featured roles. The pic'ure was directed by Fred Newmeyer, who has directed several of the recent Denny starring vehicles. “On Your Toes" is a picture for lovers of comedy and lovers of the prize ring, told in a whole some humorous vein.
