COSY THEATRE

'' Tl I E HOUSE OF GLASS.''

The mid-week programme at the Cosy

has as its big draw " Th<> House of Glass," with Clara Kimball Young as the star artist. .Margaret Case, played by Miss Young, although innocent of any real '-emiplicity in the crime, spends n year and a-half in prison as tin acenm-

| plice of Burke, whom she was about to marry when they were both arrested for the robbery of seventy thousand dollars' worth of jewels. When she is paroled she disappears from Now York, and returns ten years later as Mrs

Harvey Lake, the wife of a successful j railroad manager. One of the detectives who arrested 'Margaret recognises ' her, and she tells her husband the whole j story, lie finally succeeds in securing a, pardon from the Governor in return for dropping the charge of theft against one of his own employees, whose extreme youth has led the Governor to intercede in the boy's behalf. This action clears the skies all round, and in j tho liual close-up Margaret and Lake j are in each other's arms. The eighth episode of "Tho EagleYi Eye." exposes further intrigue on the. part of (Jerman spies iv America-, and shows further j startling devlopinents in the plot. | ''Summer Girls" will be a line Sennet t f comedy, while- topical events will be ■ shown in "Pat-he G.-r/.et te.'' j "THE DANDIES." j Periodically during the !::-; few years we have h.-ol visits froo-; "The : > i 'audies," and it is pleasing to note ( the announcement in this issue to the ; .effect that Air ..John Hopkins will, on | Monday and Tuesday next, at the Opera | House," present Mr I'M ward Brans- ; combe's ever-popular comedy company, ! "The Dandies," and no doubt they j will receive a very hearty welcome ' from their friends in the Masterton district. The entertainment which "The Dandies" have become famous for appeals to all tastes by reason of the fact that it consists of a little of everything worth while, and everything is done well, the costuming and stage settings are excellent, and there is an atmosphere of refinement surrounding '"The Dandies" which enhances the attractiveness of their entertainment.
