AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

THH GRAND TWO BIG FEATURES TO DAY. "A PRINCE OF A KING” “A CHAPTER IN HER LIFE.” Record attendances were recorded at the Grand Theatre on Saturday at both afternoon and evening exbibitlons. Commencing at the matinee today at 2 p.m. and to-night at 7.45 p.m. the management promise their patrons another big bargain programme when two pictures, a comedy and International News will comprise the bill of fare. The first picture will feature SelznicK’s six-reel attraction "A Prince of a King,” which features the wonderful boy actor, Dinkey Dean, who is supported by Joseph Swickard, Virginia Pearhon, John Sampolis, Sam De Grasse, Mitchell Lewis, Ethel Wales, and Frank Darrow. Dinkey Lewis first Th ado his big hit with Charlie .Chaplin in ‘‘The Pilgrim,” and is considered to outclass Jackie Coogan. Critics declare that the outlook for his future is brilliant. The second feature will be Universal’s seven-reel picture, ‘‘A Chapter in Her Life,” from the novel "Jewel” by Clara Louise Burnhkm and produced by Lois Weber. The story is of to-day and th e locale, a New Yory country estate. The Cast includes Claude Gillingwater, who appeared as feature player in the following productions: “Little Lord Fauntleroy,’’ "My Boy,” “The Strangers .Banquet,” “The Christian,” and ‘“Alice Adams.” Robert Frazier, leading man for Max Murray in “Fascination” and “Jazzmania” plays a leading part supporting a picked cast of type players. “A Chapter in Her Life" is a play of the minds of the people. It bares human brains to teach a great truth, and does it engrossingly and fearlessly. Its pictured truth dawns fully at the final fade-out. A good comedy and International' News complete an excellent entertainment The plan for reserved seats is open all day at Rowell’s bookshop, next Warnock’s. On Thursday next William Fox has another surprise packet in “The Town That For got God.” __________
