OPERA HOUSE PICTURES.

The big star drama, "1914," or "Scotland for King and Country," led the new programme at. the Opera House on Friday night. During the action the spectators are transported from the Highlands of Scotland to the heart of the fighting in Fknders. Special attention has been paid to actual trench warfare, and the whole picture has been handled with attention to detail. Sentiment plays a very big part, and the acting, in the hands of MiMss Jane Gail and other supporting artists, leaves nothing to be desired. A Keystone, "That Springtime Feeling," featuring Syd. Chaplain, is exceedingly funny. Other subjects include the latest number of the Gaumont Graphic, the "Mystery of Bray ton Court," a Vitagraph drama; "Spoof for Oof" (comedy}; "He Couldn't Explain",, (comedy); and "An English Village and Woodland Scene." Appropriate music was supplied by the Lyric Symphony Orchestra. The programme, which was thoroughly appreciated, will be repeated to-night. ,
