ENTERTAINMENTS.
GRAND THEATRE—TO-NIGHT. A BRITISH PRODUCTION. “LONG ODDS.” Many racing pictures have been produced in the past, and many doubtless will he produced in the future; but “Long Odds,’ a British Master Picture, is in a class by itself. There is a villain in the story', but he is a company promoter, and contrary to custom lie does not try to dope or injure the horses in any way. And the big sur-prise-—which is also the big " sensation of the film—is associated with one of the little-known rules of the turf instead of with an impossible circumstance, such, as the beautiful heroine riding to win. There are several novel effects in the film, and one of them, will probably create considerable comment and some speculation as to how it was accomplished. It occurs at the
first water jump in the big steeplechase, and to all appearances the horses leap into the camera. An excellent supporting programme will be presented.
