AMUSEMENTS.

ROXY-TIVOLI. Blazing courage and blazing guns in a thrilling, battling picture of action —that is "Stage to Ghino," the main feature film that will open a season at the Roxy and i Tivoli Theatres to-morrow. The picture is a power-packed drama of mail-running by stage coac-h in the old Wild West with famous George O'Brien in the role of a death-dcfyiDg United States postal inspector. Stirring and breath-taking tih« film is a "hit" for excitement-craving fans of all ages. In addition to gun-play there is staged a spectacular fistic battle which is realistic enough to satisfy all admirers of the ring. A musical setting is provided by "Pals of the Golden West," with numbers that set the feet dancing anil call back all the best of the days that are no more. The second feature at both theatres is "Long Shot," with Gordon Jones and Marsha Hunt in the leading roles. This is a racing picture with a strong love interest and plenty of excitement.
