ENTERTAINMENTS.

KOSY. A GOOD ALL-ROUND BILL. Manager Bennett, of the Kosy Theatre, declares he has a big treat in store lor his patrons in the William Fox photoplay, "Be a Little Sport," which he is showing just now at the Kosy. Albert Ray and Elinor Fair are the stars in this picture. These two clever young players are making a big name for themselves throughout the country in comedy. "Be a Little Sport" is funnier than anything they have produced thus far. By way of contrast the five-reel feature, "Rose of the West," is also showing. This is a high-grade melodrama featuring Madlaine Traverse. A new serial, "A Man of Might," featuring Wm. Duncan, is also showing. This serial opens up sensationally and is said to maintain its excitement right through. PALACE. FOUR LOVE STORIES IN "OVER THE GARDEN WALL." Vitagraph's latest picture, witli Bessie Love in the stellar role, has been called the picture with love in every line. It is "Over the Garden Wall," which' will be shown at the Palace to-night and to-morrow. "Over the Garden Wall" positively reeks with love. One love affair is enough for most films, and sometimes a second one is thrown in for good measure, but in this story there are precisely four, all interlaced and interwoven into one smashing theme. There is the love of Frances Gordon, the pink tea girl, and her young lawyer suitor, and of Peggy Gordon and her fashion plate of a sweetheart. Then there is the break-up and wreck of tooth lives, and. the establishment of a new one each for the girls. Finally there is another crash of Frances' romance, with a return to her first one. Finally there is a sparkling climax of love. "Over the Garden Wall" just sizzles with romance. EVERYBODY'S. ENID BENNETT PLAY. Just because she is a woman is no reason why a girl cannot fight, and fight hard. Enid Bennett as Laura Dayne, after a long effort for success, battled gamely and successfully to defend her own honour in an hour of great danger, and then capped the climax by freeing the man she loved from the stigma of a grave crime. And Laura always won. If your lover were accused of murder in the midst of the wedding ceremony, what would you do? Would you have done as Laura Dayne did when, as a climax to her own battle for honour, she cut the Gordian knot that threatened to send the man she loved to prison for life? Niles Welsh in the principal male part, is very fine, and gives a studied performance.
