ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOU,SE—TO-NIGHT. “THE BELLAMY TRIAL.’’ Who killed Mimi Bellamy? Detectives admitted themselves baffled, the prosecuting attorney flayed everyone mercilessly in his wild desire to find the perpetrator; former sweethearts, husbands arid wives were accused —clues led in all directions. But no one knew who killed Mimi Bellamy! “The Bellamy Trial” is the most thrilling and mysterious murder picture made to date. You’ll sit tensely expectant and absorbed. You ; _11 follow every incident, every detail of facial expression and every bit of damaging testimony with breathless interest. You’ll forget, that you are sitting in a . theatre and imagine you are witnessing an actual murder trial. But never in a thousand years will you guess who killed Mimi Bellamy! “The Bellamy Trial” is refreshingly different. It offers picture patrons a welcome relief from society dramas, under, world pictures and the like. See it at the Opera House to-noght and to-mor-row (Thursday) vat 2 and 8 p.m. An excellent supporting programme will include the technicolor special attraction “The Lady of Victories.” The box plans arc at Miss Blake’s sweet shop.

Jn his efforts to make good, Blaj'den innocently instals a gang of crooks in the house adjoining Weaver’is. He discovers his mistake when lie finds one of the crooks stealing valuable antiques from Weaver’s collection.
