AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES. TO-NIGHT AND MONDAY NEXT. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2.30. BILL HART IN “WAGON TRACKS.” William S. Hart portrays yet another type of Western character in his newest Paramount-Artcraft picture, “Wagon Tracks,” which will be shown to-day at both sessions and on Monday. In this he is seen as a guide in the fifties, leading a wagon train across the deserts ana mountains toward the west of America by way of the historic Santa Fe Trail. There are battles with Indians, a struggle with gamblers, a revenge motive, and iove and adventure in abundance. The role selected for the star is that of a typical plainsman. Jane Novak makes a charming heroine and Robert McKim a hateful villain. A most amusing Mack Sennet comedy, “ Salome v. Shenandoah,” will also fie screened. The programme is extremely powerful, and patrons should not delay in booking their seats. Box plan now open at H. 1. Jones and Son’s. HIS MAJESTY’S. .MATINEE TO-DAY AT 12.30. This afternoon the usual matinee will be given at His Majesty’s Theatre, when the big British production, Big Money,” will be screened,. together with an entertaining Topical Budget, a clever comic entitled “ Frickleness of Sweedie,” and an educational picture of “ Roses.” This programme can be specially recommended for children, and should not be missed by the little ones. COMPLETE CHANGE TO-NIGHT. GEORGE WALSH AND PEGGY HYLAND. To-night’s change of programme should prove one of the most powerful and attractive programmes ever screened at this popular picture house. The main feature to-night will be the powerful drama “The Dead Line,” in whitii Georg' Walsh plays the leading part. The story in this dynamic drama is laid in the mountains ef Kentucky, i'ameu for feuds and moonshine whisky. Both products of that section are played strongly in the picture, giving the personality of George Walsli, star, ample scope fer unusual effects. He fights ana loves and conquers with the strength of the strong and the directness of an untamed, primitive nature. The second featu’e of the programme will be a fascinating picture featuring Peggy Hyland in “Black Shadows,” which deals with a atery of the mystery of many jewel robberies which have stirred mem bers of the exclusive social set in AVashington and explained in rather remarkable way in this fascinating play Light corned,.' and tender sentiment aie seasoned wholesomely with a touch of melodrama. No one who loves a. good photoplay cleverly rendered, should miss “Black Shadows.” The usual sunport ing programme will be shown, which includes a Topical Gazette, cartoon, and Fuller’s Great Orchestra will render special music. Seats can be reserved at Upton’s shop till 1 p.m., after that at the Theatre office, or by ’phone 563.
