THE PICTURE HOUSES.

COSY DE LUXE. “ORPHANS OF THE STORM.” “Reign of terror rusning dbwn.”' What vunyie presents in vision and by uiu. oi tne imuMinubion une may see in actual fact at tne cosy incaue. ‘*vrputuis oi tne oturm, ' auapted from me iwo vrpnuns, is witnout question one oi tn© greatest pictures suowji m xxasungs. me ••otorm'’ reiers tu tne YJiencn Revolution, a period tbe most teruuc. as it was the most terrioie in modern History- icrnme in its results. 'Hie whole deluge is hung on me me-story oi t\>o orpnans, bruugnt up as sisters, caught m the clutuies oa me circumstances of the times, ine two principals are Lillian. Gish and Dorothy Gish. As one witnesses this picture and sees, on the one sale the •extravagance and the waste oi the aristocrats of France, and on the other siue necessity and misery oi the populace, the only wonder is that the revolution wa« delayed for so lung. One sees, too, when they did assert themselves. how they abused all that was brightest and best, and went to extremes. The picture, too. introduces the audience to many who, in history, are names to conjure with. Through all is the procession of tumbnlls. .to the guillotine, the executions, to the accompaniment of the roll of drums and armed revolt, and shameless brutality—yet relieved by touches of real humour, pity and kindliness. It is a truly wonderful picture. The orchestr plays a specially selected arrangement of music. This evening “Orphans of the Storm” will be presented again, and th© picture in support will be a big Vitagraph production titled “Tenderfoot’s Luck.” To-!jjonw ? s Matinee. A big special First National drama entitled “The Eternal Flame” will be th© feature at the Cosy matinee tomorrow. Never before has Norma Talmadge carried her dramatic powers to such temendous heights as in this powerful love romance set in the picturesque French courts . when King Louis XVHI reigned supreme. A Denver Dixie comedy and gazettes support. MUNICIPAL MATINEE. Thomas Meighan’s latest Paramount picture, “The Conquest of Canaan,” will be the feature attraction at the Hastings Municipal matinee to-mor-row afternoon. An outstanding feature of the production is the complete fidelity of ffrg scenes. Such wellknown artists as Doris Kenyon and Diana Allen figure in the picture. A further chapter of the serial “RobinSon Crusoe.” topical and educational gazettes and the orchestra make up the remainder of the programme.
