AMUSEMENTS.

COSY DE LUXE THE BREATH OF SCANDAL. The many patrons of the popular Cosy theartre are promised a special treat tonight, when the new change of programme will include the big master picture success “The Breath of Scandal.” Apart from the very absorbing theme around which the story unfolds, there is a clearly cut picture of life-like characters that is all too rare in these days of overdrawn film plots. Even the ’’other woman” has been allowed to digress she becomes a thoroughly sympathetic figure. Betty Blythe supplies a vivid beauty enhanced by talent for emotional expression that is extraordinarily fine. To Lou Tellegen, the erstwhile “great lover” of stage and screen, the producer has given an opportunity for a unique characterization. The make-up kit has supplied Mr. Tellegen with a few grey hairs and the first wrinkles of middle-age. The supporting pictures include a clever two-reel comedy “The Walkout” and the latest Bathe Gazette. OPERA HOUSE. “THE SUNSET FOUR.” To morrow evening in the Opera House “The Sunset Four” will open a three nights’ season in conjunction with a fine series of pictures, which includes “The Family Secret,” with Baby Peggy in the lead. “The Sunset Four” arc a happy combination of coloured vocalists, who sing a quaint series of richly, harmonised melodies. Plantation ditties are one of the features of their work, while the inclusion of several most diverting comedy numbers lends admirable variety to their joint offerings. “The Sunset Four” have been so successful in the cities alerady visited that the various managements under whom they have appeared have invariably extended their season. This could only be accomplished with a body who established themselves in popular favour,

which, it is claimed, “The Sunset Four” succeeded in , doing. “The Family. Secret,” the principal attrac-s tion of the pictorial poition of the entertainment, is a screen version of “Editha’s Burglar,” Frances Hodgson Burnett’s famous novel. The picture has been built into an exceedingly entertaining drama, and the east includes Gladys Hulotte, Edward Earle and Frank Currier. An excellent comedy and the latest Gazette are included. Box plan is at Henderson’s. The scale of charges is 2/-, 1/6 and 1/-.
