ROSY.;

“JUST FOP, TO-NIGHT.”

He was an unmarried and attractive young man. He had wormed his way under a false name into the home of tho girl ho loved, just to be near her, when all ot a sudden a wife turned up and claimed him. He had never seen dier before, yet this is only one of many fascinating situations that abound in “Just for To-night,” the latest Goklwvn feature starring Toth Moore.

His many tricks arc clever, and ns ho has been brought up in the business, patrons can be assured of a good entertainment, hi - vostcr’s father mid grandfather were each magicians at the top of the tree in their profession. The picture, ‘Temple of the Dusk,” featuring Sossuo Ilayakaua, is t bo shown for the first part of the proorammo.
