PEARL WHITE" IN "BROADWAY I PEACOCK.'' ! Pearl White, famous star of-William Fox photoplays, will be seen at the r Grand Theatre to-night in her latest picture, "The Broadway Peacock," which, as Jis title implies, is a story of the gaiety, frivolity, disasters and triumphs of persons who are swept into the entrancing life typified by New York's Great White Way. Miss White's role is that of a dazzingly vivacious hostess of a, noted cabaret, whose beauty and personality keep the place seething with merry-makers. She falls madly in love with a young aristocrat, despite the warning of her pal that such an affair can end only in heartache. Miss White, it is said, sweeps through her dramatic scenes with tigerish emotion, and yet is able to sway her audiences with touches of the most delicate, pathos. A great sunshine comedy "One Moment, Please," wil be presented on the same programme. Usual prices.

Marshall Neilan's "Penrod," a picturisation of Booth Turkington's stories of the same name, with Wesley Barry in the title role and a east of half a hundred, will he the feature photoplay attraction at the Opera House, beginning to-night.

There are few people who have so far forgotten their own childhood days as to svant to miss this picture of real boys md girls playing away as only happy childhood can. Prices as usual. i
