AMUSEMENTS & MEETINGS.

THE GRAND. Geraldine Farrar makes her first appearance in Goldwyn pictures, the play chosen for her being “The Turn of tire Wheel,” by Tex Charwate, to be screened at tire Grand this evening. “The Turn of the Wheel” affords her a role replete with splendid dramatic opportunities. An American critic says of this famous star; “Geraldine Farrar stands for all that we love. Her wonderful career, beginning with her arrival in Europe, untried, and unknown, her subsequent 1 triumphant debut, and the night she returned and took New York by storm—in all this the world sees tho pluck and art of a girl surmounting tremendous obstacles.” The supporting films are “The House of Hate” (No. 6) and the Gaumont Graphic. EVERYBODY’S THEATRE. Dustin Farnum is the big attraction at Everybody’s Theatre to-night, when he appears on the screen in William Fox’s latest photo-play, “Durand of the Bad Lands,” and in every part of the tale, he shows his master-acting to fine effect. He roams the Bad Lands an outlaw. But for a woman or a child his hand is raised to help. He rescues three children from Indians, who massacre everyone else in the settlement. He falls in love with, a girl, who sees only the big noble side of his character. And when he realises his life is wrong, it is to these he goes and ever after he’s as useful a citizen as he was a “uad man.” Dustin Farnum is supported by Tom Mix and Winifred Kingston. Tie members of the Keith Street Infants’ School Vonng Helpers’ League (Barnardo’s Homes) hold their annual box opening on Saturday moruing last. The children were given morning lea in the school grounds and afterwards the boxes were opened. The amount of £2l was collected by the children.
