ENTERTAINMENTS.

"QUO VADI&" AT ROYAL. This big Italian production will be screened for the last time to-night. The mightiest motion picture spectacle ,of the century, revealing the religious significance of the wonderful drama' of "Quo Vadis," adapted from the world famed romance of Henryk Sienklewicz's novel, tells a most thrilling, sensational and dramatic story. The various scenes of pagan pomp to Chrisitian simplicity make the picture story a most appealing one. Added to this is a most powerful love story interwoven throughout—the love of a pagan for a Christian girl. Among the thrilling scenes is that of Ursus, in the Arena at Rome, twisting a gigantic bull by the horns until its neck is broken. Seats should be booked at Jackson's, tobacconist, Theatre Royal entrance.

THE STRAND AND FRANKTON. Thrown overboard in mid-ocean, along witli a satchel full of United States bonds—left to drown in the Pacific while the bundle of swag, with automatic flare attached, is to be picked up by a rum runner—that was the trouble in which Johnnie Walker found himself in in "The Mail Man," Emory Johnson's latest production, whicli will be screened finally to-night. How the unfortunate mail clerk gets out of the difficulty forms the basis of a gripping drama, which Emilie Johnson, author of "The Third Alarm" and other Emory Johnson pictures, has developed in a truly masterful way. The second is a bright Western drama, "The Burning Trail," starring William , Desmond. Seats should be booked" at Lewis R. Eady and Son, Ltd., or by theatre 'phone 1422.
