ENTERTAINMENTS

THEATRE ROYAL. It would he difficult to name a more striking pair of sc'reen-lovers than Earle Williams and beautiful Grace Darmond, who co-star to-night in Blue Riband’s feature drama “The Girl in His Hbuse.” The author has hit upon and worked out some novel situations of a very refreshing order. Grace Darmond’s very fine work in this drama has won for her a host of new admirers. The second star is Pearl White, and a very popular one she is. “A Woman’s Perfidy,” the third episode of that wonderfully gripping serial, “The House of Hate,” is described as keeping interest at a tension that reaches straining point, and in it there is given a slender clue as to the identity of “The Hooded Terror,” the question which followers of the serial are trying to solve.- A special Graphic and the pleasant music of the ponnlar orchestra will complete an enjoyable entertainment. Seats may be reserved at Paul’s. KING’S THEATRE.

Garland’s impressive novel, with its vigorous and unusual story of unconventional ,ife in the rugged north-west of Canada, entitled “Cavanagh of the Forest Rangers.” has been admirably done Wfore the camera, and as a. film feature it opens at the King’s Theatre to-night, with Alfred Whitman and Nell Shipman in the congenial roles of hero .and heroine. , Both artists are particularly well-fitted to the parts. In construction and development the drama is right off the beaten track. It begins with a “bang,” moves rapidly forward without an inert moment amid beautiful natural scenery, and it is original in story. A travel and scenic series, above average .merit will he “A Day "\\ith Canadian Girl Guides.” Much ol interest is disclosed by this picture. “Surf Scandals,” a snappy story oi the sea, the sea shore and surf will afford abundant comic- relief. Seats may he reserved at Paul’s without extra fee. The King’s Orchestra will accompany the screenings. EVERYBODY’S. The change of programme at the cosy theatre to-night is of excellent variety and quality. The star picture is ‘ Iho Strange Woman,” a play written by that famous author, William J. Harlhut. In hook form over one million copies were sold. The leading part is taken by Gladys Brockwoll, a versatile actress whose rise to fame has been phenomenal. This is one of the greatest successes, and in it she depicts Parisian elegance to the last degree. The story is a strange one of exceptional power, with many flashes of subtle humour and satire. Supporting it is a Sunshine Comedy which is sure to he irresistibly funny. There will also he a splendid Fox News, and a clever slut by Mutt and Jeff. Everybody s Orchestra will provide incidental music Admission is Is Id to all parts. As the programme is a rather lengthy one, a start will he made promptly at 8. It is announced that Annette Kellerman will appear at an early date in “Queen or the Sea.”
