OPERA HOUSE PICTURES.
"The Ordeal" was the 6tar picture at the Opera House last evening, and for some of a sensitive turn of mind it presented almost too realistically a scene which has doubtless been enacted many a time in Belgium during the present war. The scene was intended to be typical of present-day incidents in the great war, and pourtrayed the refined cruelty which the Germans are said to have practised on their victims. The scenes were remarkably well produced, and the characters true to life, especially the German officers. It is said that the Germans in America endeavored to suppress this picture, and this can hardly be wondered at, for the reason that it illustrates in a way, not otherwise possible, the awful brutalities which the Germans have practised. The remainder of the programme included a very interestine budget of topical pictures and a sprinkling of the comic. The programme will be repeated this evening.
