AMUSEMENTS.

COSY THEATRE. Marion Davies and a splendid cast appear in “The Red Mill.” Tina,, a little drudge in a Dutch inn, is forced to work for I a cruel uncle from morning to night. Her whole life is one long round of toil.. When Dennis, a wealthy Irishman, arrives with his valet to spend the winter in the village, Tina soon falls in love with him. She is but one of a number who are s.o.iten with the same affliction. Dennis is unresponsive and regards Tina as only a nice child. At the end of his holiday he drives away, after breaking Tina's heart by ’ pressing a coin into her hand. Next summer he returns. There is no gleam of recognition in his eyes, and once again Tina's hopes crash to earth. In the same village, the burgomaster is forcing his daughter to marry the governor, whom she does not love. Tina tries to help the girl, by name Gratchcn. One evening she dons Gretchen's clothes so that the other may meet her lover, a thing she is forbidden to do. Dennis sees a pretty girl dressed in the beautiful clothes of the burgomaster's daughter, and falls in love with the vision, not knowing that it is Tina. And so with burlesque and subterfuge the comedy .goes on. Dennis, worshipping a girl he does not recognise. Also showing is Fred Thomson in “All Around Frying Pan,” a picture of cow- • boy romance, charm, excitement,* thrills and pathos. Mr Ernest W. Crome will preside at the console of the Wurlitzer.

I “The Flaming Frontier,” a speetacu--11 lar Universal production, will commence screening at the Opera House to-morrow evening at 7.45. This picture is a thrilling story of the early West, a tender love story, telling of ; the real life of the daring men and women of the pioneer days. Thousands lof Indians, cavalrymen, pony express I riders, Western plainsmen, pioneers, j and camp followers, and the glory and ' glamour of West Point in the ’seveni ties are shown. This picture is of more . than unusual interest because of the J fact that among the Indians taking • part are scores of descendants of those whe fought under Sitting Bull. In . making this last stand against the whites Sitting Bull had rallied to his cause some 10,000 redskins, the great tribes of the West allying themselves tv th the Sioux to make common war against the whites.
