ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT. NORMA TALMADGE IN ‘‘WITHIN THE' LAW.” A large audience witnessed the first screening of “Within the . Law,” a First National super-picture, starring Norma Talmadge. The large audi-. enee showed in no uncertain manner their appreciation of this master in pictures. Norma Talmadge has probably given us the finest role of her career as Mary [Turner, a character made famous in New Zealand on the stage by Muriel Starr. Norma literally lives her part, and no finer acting has been seen on the screen foi. many a day. The Btory is so wellknown that it need not be repeated here. Norma Talmadge has a distinguished east to support her, including Jack Mulhall, Lew Cody, Eileen Percy, Helen Ferguson, and Joseph Ivilgour. The acting of these artists is exceedingly well done, and worthy of a great play. The supporting propramme is full of interest and humour, and includes a fine comedy, Travelogue, Review and Topical News. The picture advertised as commencing Wednesday is “Daughters of the Rich,” a Gasnier produced master picture, starring Miriam Cooper, Gaston Glass, Ethel Shannon, Ruth Clifford, Stuart Holmes and Josef Swickard, This picture is produced on a lavish scale, the settings and gowns being superb. The box plan is now on view at Mrs. Cook's.

To-night is the. last night of the season. GRAND THEATRE TO-NIGHT. “HIS MYSTERY GIRL/’ “His Mystery Girl” is the title of f he Universal nicture starring Herbert Rawlinson, which comes to the Grand Theatre to-night. Jt is, as the title might suggest, the story of a young man completely enamoured of a young lady whom he doesn’t even. know. She remains a mystery to him for some time in the story, too. There is fast action comedy throughout the drama, concluding with a fade-out that will long be remembered by those who are tired of the attacks of so much inept and meaningless romance produced in the past. The supporting programme includes the fifth episode of “The Phantom Fortune,” a Century comedy, “Little. Miss Hollywood,” featuring Baby Peggy, and the latest International News.
