ENTERTAINMENTS.

KOSY. THE PAGAN GOO. One Of the gorgeous setting's in "The Pagan God" is a Chinese garden. The producers secured permission from the owner of one of the most wonderful Chinese gardens in California to use it tor the screen. This gripping drama of the Mongolian conspiracy, with H. B. Warner admirably cast as an American diplomat, Brue Winthrop, has a thrilling' climax. The conspirators have captured Bruce when they find that he is in possession of their secret idol, and are just about to strangle him When he reaches his gun, shoots out the light, and after a desperate battle fights his way to the window of the secret room and escapes. One of the best of Exhibitor's Mutual screen productions. Still, hunting for Chinese revolutionaries is a dangerous game, but PI. B. Warner, in the guise of Bruce Winthrop (an American diplomat) shows in "The Pagan God" how to beat the Oriental at his own game. PALACE. CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG, IX "THE SAVAGE WOMAN." "The Savage Woman" shows Clara Kimball Young in a vastly different role from her frequently chosen society plays. By reason of her unusual beauty, this charming and versatile j young actress is admirably suited to ' the role of Renee, the young girl born and reared in the wilderness of Abyssjnia. Bare, and fleet of foot, her hair flying hip-long in the sun ] and wind which have nursed her from birth,a beautiful, wild thing of | the jungle, she is suddenly transplanted to the artificialities and inconveniences of fashionable Parisian You see her as a daughter of the wild<. among the beauties and savagery" of the African jungle—as the reincarnated Queen of Sheba, in the ruined splendour of an ancient palace, the desired of a dusky potentate —then as a half-tamed thing of gorgeous finery amid the falseness and luxury of modern society. A Post nature scenic and a Topical is also showing - . EVERYBODY'S "THE GRAND BABYLON HOTEL."
