ENTERTAINMENTS.

COSY THEATRE. Exceptions prove rules, even where the oldest adages are concerned. For instance, “There is nothing new under the sun,” is a very- old and widely-be-lieved saying. But the advent of “The Ten Commandments,” coining to the Cosy Theatre to-night, serves as a convincing rejoinder to those who imagine that screen themes are never new. This attraction is an artistically arranged medley of excitement, drama, romance and pathos, and presents them in fashion quite new to picture-lovers. The love theme is refreshingly new, and the • spectator who successfully forecasts the ultimate outcome of/it all could be rated as an artful soul. An excellent combination qf supporting subjects contribute further interest in this sterling programme. Reserves at Henderson’s. \ ________________________ OPERA HOUSE. Rex Beach’s ultra-thrilling romance ■of the golden Klondyke, ‘ “Winds of Chance,” will again be presented at the Opera House to-night. Anna Q. Nilsson and Ben Lyon head a special east of exceedingly well-known Him stars. The story starts in Alaska and shows people rushing to the Klondyke region. Among theme is d young man (the hero) who lias not the three hundred dollars required by the Canadian ■Government from those who wanted to go to Dawson. He has only one hundred and fifty dollars; In order to get sufficient money lie gambles every cent of his in a crooked shell game, but loses out. He is then compelled to carry loads from camp to camp, so as to earn the required money. He meets a countess, an old-timer in that region, aml also Poleon, a good-hearted French Canadian, who could not spare any. of his singing and laughing time to locate a claim. Because the hero is innocent lie gets into trouble. At one time lie is accused of having stolen gold, his life being thus put into jeopardy. But the countess, whom lie loved, but who broke his heart when '.she told him that she was still married to a worthiest man, saves him, Poleon helping. 'There comes ! to the camp a gambler with his young daughter. The gambler loses everything he owned on this earth when his ■boat is wrecked in the rapids, saving only his life and that of his daughter. Poleon takes’ her under his protection. She was seriously ill, but his tender care saves her life. The hero is “framed,” and is arrested for theft. The counters, who still loves the hero, -saves him bv revealing to the authorities 4 that he was “framed” by her husband. The hero now recognises the nobility of the countess’s character. The countess gained the impression that the hero loved the dead gambler’s daughter, but she soon finds that the young woman loved Poleon. And as' her husband was murdered by the two men who had helped him to “frame” the hero, she consents to become his wife. Supports include a. Fox News and a comedy. Reserves at Henderson’s.
