ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE, MONDAY

"THE AUCTION BLOCK."

\One, of Rex Beaclis' most powerful stories is "The Auction. Bl^k'-a^ novel which, has .beenwidely, read, and its presentation in picture T form aVthe Opera House on TVlonday and Tuesday n,ext is sure to attract crowded houses. The story has lost.nothing by picturisation;' indeed, it 'has in some ways been made even more powerfulaiid thrilling, and the makers, of the film have produced one of the finest picture dramas of recent years. The various tense situations are faithfully portrayed, and the artists taking part are in the front rank of 'their profession: The picture is a great indictment of • the idle rich. The story is redeemed. by the fine character of Lorelei and the good ending of tne romance, of_ heroine and faithful though weak lover. The setting of the story is excellent, especially the scenes showing night life in New York. Plans for the great picture are at the Theatre.
