ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE, TO-NIGHT. “FLAMING YOUTH.” A large audience witnessed the first screening oi “Flaming Youth” at the Opera. House last evening, adapted from the sensational ananymously-wrilten novel. It is a startling expose of .ultramodern society. That modern fathers and mothers are failing iii their responsibilities to parenthood is the lesson which is being forcibly driven home in this picturisation of “Warner Faban’s” “Flaming Youth.” It is a photodrama of this age of jazz and pocket flasks and scorn of the conventions, and Colkiim IV 100 re "as Patricia Fentriss is seen as the pampered little flapper who is indulged in all her dangerous whims. She flits from one frivolous love affair to another, but of course the crash comes, and there is genuinely stirring romance in which the heronie is jolted into her senses. No person under the age of sixteen will be admitted to the “Flaming Youth” season.

GRAND THEATRE—TO-NIGHIf
