ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE WORLD'S

An excellent programme was presented, at the World's last evening. The leading attraction, was the Paramount drama "The Heart of Nora Flynn," a fascinating story of American society. Marie Doro, a beautiful actress, takes the principal role and gives a convincing performance. The picture was magnificently produced, and was. cordially i received. The other big picture was the fascinating circus serial story, "Peg o: the Ring." The supporting films were all distinctly good, and included an instructive American Travelogue showing some customs of American In-i dians. There was also a clever cartoon] and an amusing comedy. The programme will be repeated to-night. WORLD'S—TO-MORROW. "STILL WATERS" AND "A LAW UNTO HIMSELF." Included in the double programme to be presented to-morrow night will be two very fine star features. Marguerite Clark, the dainty actress, will be seen in a novel screen drama of rural and circus life called "Still Waters," and one of the most striking of Paramount pictures. The second feature is "A Law Unto Himself," with Crane Wilbur in the lead. The subject is handled in an admirable 'manner, and carries with, it something of the indomitable spirit of the West. Topical, scenic, and humorous pictures will be included.

OPERA HOUSE

A capital programme was submitted at the Opera House last evening. The1 principal picture was the Triangle film "The Criminal," in which Clara Williams and William Desmond, two popular screen artiste, make their re-appear-ance. Each gave a convincing performance.

Another fine-film was the Keystone comedy picture, "Her Circus Knight," one of the I best yet released by the company, and it created hearty laughter. The supporting films were all exceedingly good,' and comprised a delightful scenic and the latest topical budget. The pro-i gramme will be repeated to-night.
