ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE, TO-NIGHT

“LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER.”

-The mighty Master . picture, ,“Let i\ot Man Put Asunder,” which Will hh shown at the Opera House to-night and to-morrow (Tuesday), is -a daring exposition of the eternal , question which has baffled men and women of all times. Divorce is treated from several’angles and woven into an intensely dramatic photo-drama, human and real. . ,The story is enacted against' ail effective society background, and the settings move from America to . Europe in a chain of dramatic sequences in which ' Pauline Frederick .and' Lou Tellegeri.' win added laurels. One pf the unique features of . the picture is the. .dance of the camouflaged figures at the great New Year’s Eve ball. The' ‘daricihg, platform was especially designed in a. sort of futuristic style, and the figures o-f the dancers were so painted that they merged into the platform without being detected. Not even the lens of the camera could distinguish between the walls of , the platform and the human bodies. When they' dance it is as if they had been summoned - bymagic. The supporting programme in-/ eludes an excellent comedy, “Air Pockets,” a-New Era natural history sub;ect, and the latest Pa the .'News:; ~
