AMUSEMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE. A WONDERFUL PICTURE. The laige crowds attending the Opera House nightly are delighted with the stupendous attraction “The Ten Commandments.” Never before in the history of motion pictures has such a wonderful picture been produced and it will be many a day before it is bettered. “The Ten Commandments” will undoubtedly go down in screen history as the greatest achievement of the time. Among the many gigantic and awe inspiring scenes are those depicting the flight of the Israelites from Egypt and the subsequent pursuit by a spectacular army of chariots. But between the chariots of Pharaoh and the fleeing Israelites, the Lord raises the pillar of fire, and then opens the Red Sea and allows the Children of Israel to pass over in safety. But when Pharaoh tries to follow the sea engulfs his men. It is impossible to do justice to the picture by describing it. One lives in the amazing story, held spellbound until the eventful end. The musical score which plays a big part in the success, was last night rendered by an augmented orchestra under the leadership of Mr Jas, Candy, and was fully appreciated by those present. The picture will be presented again to-night. Intending patrons should book early at Henderson’s.

COSY DE LUXE. FRED THOMSON TO-NIGHT. Showing this evening at the popular Cosy theatre is the big master programme headed by the thrilling and adventurous photoplay “The Mark of Lopez” that features the world’s champion athlete and stunt man Fred Thomson. Silver King, the wonderfully sagacious horse gives talented assistance and amazes one with his feats. Hazel Keener, a Charming actress of marked ability and eharming personality, contributes a brilliant and finished portrayal as the heroine. Taken right through the settings are the great open west, the cast is of the best, the horse, Silver King, is the marvel of the equine world, and the story is of love, romance, trials, and tribulations such as confront us in reality. “The Mark of Lopez” is indeed a remarkable fast and thrilling romance. Adequate and most entertaining supporting attractions are also included.
