AMUSEMENTS.

KING’S THEATRE TO-NIGHT.

ODIVA AND HER SEALS. The Company comprising Odiva’s Seals and the supporting Vaudeville Acts arrived in town this morning and everything is now ready for the opening performance to-n:ght. The huge glass tank in which the seals do their work has been filling all day, and is now in , position ready for the act. To give some idea of the magnitude of the task of prepaiing the stage, the water in the tank first has to be specially filtered in order to assure the audience a clear view of the seals when they are in the water, then to take all precautions against the seals catching cold the water has to he heated to a temperature of 70 degrees Farenheit and kept at that temperature. This was only made possible by the laying of special gas and water pipes. Then in order to support thie exceptional! weight on the stage the whole construction of it has had to be strengthened by additional steel girders. The booking has been very heavy, but there are still some good seats left. The plan is at Johnston’s until 5p.m., after that reservations may be made by phoning the King’s Theatre. QUEEN’S THEATRE. A well-filled house greeted the first screening of “The Woman Who Walked Alone,” at the Cosey Queen’s on Saturday evening. The cast which is a strong one, is headed by Milton Sills and Dorothy Dalton. It is a real good picture f ill of excitino situations. It will be screened for the last time tongh’t. To-morrow night only “The ■ U’mate Sex." wii be screened. Jock Gray who made his first appearance .li c.m <: songs met with great applause. He will appear tonight in new songs and will give his famous sketch entitled “A {Scotchman's impression of a football match.”
