One of th* best of the Sherlock Holmes stories, entitled "The Valley of Fear," is now being shown at the Queen's Theatre, together with a well-varied list of supports. The Mack Sennett comedy, "Uncle Tom Without a Cabin," is proving a big draw at the Octagon Theatre, and is being received with roars of laughter. '"The Greatest Thing in Life," which is supplied as the feature film, is also produced. "The Poppy Girl's Husband" was one of the features at the Plaza, Theatre yesterday, and the first episode in the Paramount serial, "The Grey Seal," was the other. To-day Wallace Reid, the popular Paramount star, will appear in a new picture, "The Roaring Road."
