AMUSEMENTS
Comedy is the outstanding note of an attractive programme of pictures at the Octagon Theatre. Pride of place is held by “La La Lucille,” a musical comedy on tho screen, and the supports include a comedy, topical, and other interesting films. Pleasant music is supplied by the orchestra.
Tom Miv, in “The Speed-Maniac,” is the present attraction at the Grand and Plaza ’theatres. Many daring “stunts” are performed by the popular hero, and the picture is crammed with thrills of excitement. An excellent list of supports completes the bill. A Pathe picture, “The Eyes of Julia Deep,” is the feature film at the Queen’s Theatre, with Mary Miles Minter in the star role. It is a play in which drama and comedy are judiciously combined, and as it is well acted and filmed, is certain to prove popular. A Mack Sennett comedy, a Topical Gazette, and another episode in the serial of “The Mystery of 13” make up a trio of strong supports. The chief attraction at O’Brien’s Empire Theatre is a Charlie Chaplin comedy, “A Day’s Pleasure,” which is as grotesquely amusing as that actor’s plays usually are. The feature film is a D. W. Griffith production, “The Greatest Question,” and the support® combine to make up an attractive programme- ?
