COSY THEATER. William S. Hart is a. screen actor, who, above all others, has shown his supremacy in quick moving dramas ot the “red-blooded” type, and as an outlaw ot' the American West. In “Breed of Men,” a big Arteraft attraction, in which he will be seen a at the Cosy Theatre to-day, he is seen as a cowboy, gun-man, outlaw, and passionate lover in a drama full of excitement and action. The plot deals -with a landsnark who endeavours to fleece the simple, if exuberant, cowboys of the ranch districts of America, and the summary punishment which is executed by Hart and his comrades on the rapacious laudshark, is felt to be well deserved. A romance, which is started when the girl in the ease shoots Hart in me shoulder, is interwoven with the main theme, giving it added interest. “The Great Gamble” is continued in an interesting chapter. A comedy aim a Gazette are among the supports.. PARAMOUNT THEATRE. Catherine Calvert has the lead in “Marriage” at the Paramount tonight.

Announcement is made of the presentation in this town of the new William Fox motion picture, “Her Elephant- Man,” which will bring to the screen with full starring honours that most delightful little personality, Miss Shirley Mason. The attraction is to be shown at the Opera House on Saturday, and as it is a story dealing with the circus it is sure to prove a drawing attraction. “Her Elephant Man,” described as the best circus story ever written, is by Pearl Doles Bell, who spent many weeks with the big show getting her facts and her “atmosphere.” It has been given a superb production by William Fox and will present the circus with greatest realism. One of the scenes shows a threering circus in full action, and later the great tent- is shown as a wreck in the path of a storm. Miss Mason plays the part of the star rider of the show —of which her guardian since childhood is the old down. She falls in love with the elephant trainer, and it is soon a case of “love me, love my elephant.” The picture was directed by Scott Dunlap. The cast includes Albert Koscoe, Henry J. Herbert, Arbito Mellonino, Harry Todd and Dorothy Lee. The box plan is at Henderson’s.
