ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE. “THE WHITE SISTER.” LAST SCREENING TO-NIGHT. “The White Sister” will he screened at the Opera House to-night for the last time. The feature which stands out strikingly in this mighty production is the work of Lilian Gish, that delightful, prepossessing, inestimably clever little lady who has been acclaimed by crictics throughout the world as a great emotional actress. Her work in this, her latest production, only serves to confirm opinions long popular in the public mind concerning her abilities. her amazing artistry and her wonderful personality. Even amongst so many clever people as are required for the portrayal of the various roles in “The White Sister.” Miss Gish stands out like, a rare brilliant in the midst of a glorious constellation. Her work is superb. Prom the first subtitle to the final fade-out the picture holds the interest of the spectators in a manner that has seldom been paralleled, and it is principally because of Miss Lilian Gish, who has been cast in one of the most difficult roles of her carrer. that “The White Sister” is the great success that it is. The management have made this evening a. speial family night when children will be admitted at half price to all parts. THE GRAND TO-NIGHT. The new William de Wille-Para-mount production, “Lost —A Wife,” which is to be shown at the Grand Theatre to-night is said to contain more appeal and genuine comedy than any two of that director’s previous pictures combined. Adolphe Menjou, Greta Nissen, Paramount’s new Norwegian beauty, and Robert Agnew, are featured in the picture—a mar-riage-comedy that offers audiences something a little different along this line of screen entertainment. A full supporting programme will be presented.
