ENTERTAINMENTS

; OPERA HOUSE—WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

MARY PICKFORD

'Amarilly of Cothes Line Alley" is , said to be not only the funniest production which Mary ever graced, but it 1S i.full ? f the philosophy that the homely, so-called slums are preferable to snobbishness of society In the story Mary has the role "of a, jaunty, winsome tenement girl, who turns from the allurements of luxury to her natural environment, and finds happiness there. Mary was never in a r°l.?, better suited. As the sweet Irish child of Fate, who scrubs out the Majestic Theatre by day, and dances the jazz" with her bartender sweetheart at the Cyclone by night she is very attractive. Prices are advertised.

OPERA HOUSE—TUESDAY EVENING.

Ihe expression "No Man's Land" has become a permanent part of the iinglish language—one of the many that the war has given us. In this picture it conveys the neutral attitude or position between two opposing forces —a sort of sanctuary which belongs to no one m particular. In this fine Metro masterpiece a small island in the Pacific off the coast of America is the "no man's land," on which a band ot crooks have their headquarters, ihe story is in no way a war picture, although the war figures in the background, one of the characters being a German spy in America. The picture is really an exciting melodrama with many stirring incidents and sensational episodes. There is a charming romance mixed with thrilling adventures; the story of the battle of wits and strength ot two men who love the same woman.
