AMUSEMENTS.

THE GRAND. OLIVE THOMAS IN “PRUDENCE ON BROADWAY.” “Unsophisticated” is what everybody thought of a little Quakeress when she was introduced .to New York society. They knew more about poker than Prudence, but she cleaned them up at bridge. She captures the catch of the season and teaches the other debutantes a • lesson in demureness. And she cleverly turns the tables on a jaded New Yorker, capturing him in his own trap. Olive 'Thomas plays the part of Prudence on Broadway. It is a very bright story, wits dramatic movement, well mixed with humour. The Pathe Gazette and a good comedy entitled “Foxy Ambrose” as supports make a fine entertainment. The Grand Orchestra will play special music for this production. Reserves at Collier’s or by ’phone 1152. HIS MAJESTY’S. CHARLIE CHAPLIN TO-NIGHT. At both performances on Saturday His Majesty’s was filled to its utmost capacity, and in the evening many The double picture programme was well received. It included Charlie Chaplin patrons had to be refused admission, in his latest picture, “Sunnyside,” and a unique picture, “Back to God’s Own Country.” Charlie Chaplin has appeared in sonic strange roles, but as a farm b;.ud this sees him in a new ■one. C.n.riio needs no description. If yon laughed at “Shoulder Arms” and ■•A Dog’s Life,” you will assuredly split your sides at “Sunnyside.” The second big feature is unique, and is a stc-ry of the great “Wapi,” the mankiller. It breathes elemental passion and thrills, surprises and suspense, and it is set against a background of awesome beauty—the gods’ proving grpnnd for the mettle of men. This great double feature programme will bo shown again to-night and to-morrow. EVERYBODY’S, TWO BIG STARS TO-NIGHT. “THE WHITE HEATHER” AND “JILTED JANET.” Two big star pictures will be the attraction at Everybody’s to-tvight. “The White Heather,” Bland Holt’s big dramatic success, will he presented in pictures, with its big sensation, the fight between two divers at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. There are also scenes at the London Stock Exchange, Court room scenes, and scenes in an under-world inn. The second star will feature Marguerite Fischer in “Jilted Janet.” Many of the situations in this play are humourous and out of the ordinary run. and the story is crisply novel. The supporting picture will be the Co-op. Weekly News. The prices are fixed for this attraction at —Circle 1/3, stalls 9d. Reserves at Collier’s 1/7. Audi alteram partem is a good precept. We are too apt to look at things from oin- one point of view. The Round! Table corrects this narrowness of vision. The June number gives the American outlook cm the Treaty “Nationalism v. Intprnatioiiairini,” the case of France (from a French correspondent), the German situation (from a- German pen), the attitude of Italy and tho Arabs, and the different ways in which proposals affecting the Constitutional status in Canada are regarded by different sections of the people. The best means of keeping abreast of current events is to take “Tire Round Table.” The Round Table carries no advertisements—ir. is not rim for profit, and is a purely co-operative patriotic enterprise. You are invited to give -it your support, net only mi patriotic, grounds, but ss a round business proposition. 22s 6d will ]xiy for a twelve months’ subscription to this spiendid review.
