AMUSEMENTS.

QUEEN’S THEATRE. “This Freedom,” a Master picture, the companion picture to “If Winter ■Comes,” and written by the same author, A. S. M. Hutchinson, is a drama that echoes the oft-repeated suggestio that “a woman’s place is at home.” Is a woman’s constant yearning for a man’s full life, real or natural? That is the theme of “This Freedom.” Today women are orating on platforms, pleading in courts, serving on juries, and debating in Parliament, and only a yearning for more of life’s oportunities force them there. But what of the “sum” with which they obtain this freedom. Often it is at the price of ruined homes, morally defective children, and the torturing of the finest feminine instincts, and in breaking out into this so-called “wider life.” "This Freedom" proves whether women can be free in the modern sense. Miss Fay Compton, the talented English actress, plays 'the part of the modern woman, with Clive Brook sharing the honour of co-starring. “This Freedom” is due at the Queen’s to-night.

KING’S THEATRE. CHAPMAN & HAYNES’ PICTURES. A cast of favourites will be seen in First 'National’s new picture, “Frivolous Sal,” at the King’ to-morrow night. Included are Eugene O’Brien, Mae Busch, Mildred Harris, Tom Santschi, little Ben Alexander and Mitchell Lewis. Film fans are accustomed to seeing Eugene O’Brien as the polished, urban man of fashion. In “Frivolous Sal," his latest picture, however, he has an entirely different role. He rides madly over mountain trails, chases a band of robbers into 4 huge ice cave and finally battles the ringleader as the two shoot across a mountain gorge in the bucket of an aerial tramway. The picture, love drama of the pioneer Western mining camps, affords O’Brien an opportunity for some rapid-fire and thrilling action. There will be no matinee on Saturday afternoon.
