ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE,TO-NIGHT. “DAUGHTERS OP THE HIGH.” “Daughters of the Rich,” a Master Picture, screening at the Opera House to-night and at the Grand Theatre tomorrow evening, is a society drama, lavishly produced, filled with incidents and suspense. It is woven round the marriage of a young American girl with a dissolute Duke. For the most part the scenes are set in Paris, in gorgeous apartments and the most fashionable hotels. Paris dazzles in her gayest mood. The cast is particularly worthy of note. Miriam. Cooper gives a thoughtful and artistic characterisation of a girl whose happiness was closely followed 1 by tragedy. Ruth Clifford plays the part of the disillusioned wife of the Duke, which character is skilfully drawn by Stuart Holmes.' Gaston Glas makes an attractive hero in the complicated position of being loved by two beautiful women. The supporting programme includes a- screamingly funny Mermaid comedy “Hot Water,” aii excellent scenic, and the latest Pathe Gazette. A most interesting feature' of/the Gazette is Mr Massey’s visit to Ireland, where he was given a great reception at one of the universities, and also visited his birthplace.
