ENTERTAINMENTS.

KOSY. A BIG PROGRAMME. There is much of a cheerful nature in the new programme at the Kosy Theatre. A Mack Bennett comedy, "Home Talent," is most humorous, and many lively situations are created before the story reaches a satisfactory conclusion. Another good subject, is "A Parisian Scandal," which introduces Marie Provost in the leading role as a daughter of an American woman who married a French count. She appears as a typical Parisian "society bud." used to ways that Paris has of doing things and altogether too capable a vamp for Basil Hammond, a young American student, who tries to study her along with fossils and ihe relativity theory. "The Dying Detective," a Sherlock Holmes story of merit, and a further episode of the "Terror Trail" serial, were also much appreciated by yesterday's patrons. The same series will be screened to-night and also to-morrow;.
