AMUSEMENTS.

PARAMOUNT MUNICIPAL PICTURE'S “THE TEETH OF THE TIGER.” TO BE SHOWN AGAIN TO-NIGHT. Those who witnessed the screening of the sensational Arsene Lupin story, “The Teeth of the Tiger,” on Wednesday night Were much impressed with it, and the advice of practically all who saw it is that those who did not attend its formci" screening should certainly be at the Opera House to-night, when it will be put on for the last time. To-morrow Paramounts will screen “Tie City of. Dim Faces,” a story of Chinatown, which tells of the sale of a j-oung girl to a Chinese mandarin, and incidentally illustrates many of the marriage and other customs of tha Chinese. Sessuo Hayakawa is starred in tins picture. Box plans are at 11. I. Jones and Son’s, or ring ’phone 324. HIS MAJESTY’S. GRAND ENGLISH PRODUCTION, A first-class programme was screened last ' night at His Majesty’s, when an all British star feature was shown, and splendid work is done in the cast in the latest Broadwest production, “A Daughter of Eve,” starring- two of England’s foremost screen players, Yiolet Hopson and Stewart Rome. Miss Hopsop’s admirers increase with every fresh pietu-e, while Stewart Romo is one of the handsomest men on the British screen. With this production the Brit--ish film registers the hall-mark of perJecfcicn, and many of the slurs cast, on British production must be wiped out by this feature from the Broadwest studies. The story is a fine one, splendidly told, leading up to a situation as powerfully gripping as any ever screened, an-.l immediately afterwards comes a “surprise” worthy of the name, and tho tension of the preceding story is immediately i•'Sieved. The photo-play and settings, too, are a triumph. To-nighli this fine programme will be screened for the last time. COMMENCING SATURDAY, TWO BIG PICTURES. On Saturday night two remarkable pictures will bo shown for one night only. 'Llic first picture will introduce Alisa Madeline Traverse in “The True Heart,” a groat drama of hate and conspiracy, dealing with the troubles of a young girl, who tries to run a big iron foundry,. in which there are a number of strikes aud labour troubles.
