OCTAGON AND KING EDWARD THEATRES.
Olive Thomas, who is sufficiently well known to at once arouse the attentive interest of picture-goers, is the central figure in the Triangle feature, "Heiress for a Day," being- initially screened this afternoon at the above theatres. Helen Thurston, manicurist at a fashionable hotel, falls in love with Standring, a' very wealthy young man, and laments tho fact that his world is not her world. Standring has a great liking for her. News arrives that Helen has inherited a fortune, and she straightway discards lier sweet simplicity, and tries to emulate tho false ways of Standring's social equals, with the result tliat ho begins to dislike lier heartily. When it appears that the fortune she inherited was a false report, Helen is assailed by hordes of alarmed creditors; but her apparent ill-fortune really turns out to be her good fortune. _ Included in the programme is an interesting Pathe scenio showing all tire abbeys of England. At the matinee, in addition to_ the above, Charlie Chaplin, in "His Prehistoric Past," will also be shown. '
