ENTERTAINMENTS

"THE FATAL WEDDING." The production of "Tho Fatal Wed'luiyr" b.v the lirandon Cremor Company at tho Grand Opera House is nightly proving a big draw. Another largo audience witnessed last evening's performance. Miss Gertie Cremer, in the lead--3 ing role, met with the enthusiastic appreciation that she always earns. The • other members of the company also made a good impression. The second production of the season will commence its run at the Saturday matinee. It is "Mary Latimer, Nun," a four-act drama, founded on a series of stories recently published in an English periodical. HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. ] .Jtere are several attractive items on ' J? 13 , wce k' s programme at His Majesty's • theatre. Foremost on the bill are Van"i Doff and Louie, whose item is a smart • lightning painting one. Several artistic < pictures are produced, and tho perform--1 anco is capped by Yandinoff painting a I bouquet while his canvas is revolving. Another top liner is Miss Spellman, who wins favour with a number of the latest y f l pties. A peculiar item is supplied "by 'Skipper" Francis, who shows a moving picture of his swim of fifteen miles, and Mils the audience all- about it. The Gadabout Girls are entertaining in song and dance. There are several other good performances. ■ THE KING'S THEATRE; Tho remarkable yun established by Where Are My Children?" the great picture success, finishes to-night. The last matinee takes place at 2.50 this afternoon. The picture preaches a powerful 6ermon against race suicide. It exposes malpractice in connection with '"birth control" in fearless manner, and frankly points out the obvious moral and remedy. Tho reserved plans are at the Bristol. THE GIRL PHJLIPPA. Anita Stewart is the heroine in the fi' m play "Tho Girl Philippa," screening at The King's to-morrow. The story is based on the vivid novel Ly 11. W. Chambers, and the Greater Vitagraph Company have made a drama which is the highwater mark of picture achievement. The war scenes in. it are said to bo grimly realistic, and it is claimed that nothing more awe-inspiring and appalling has been put upon the screen than the bombardment of tho quiet French village by the Huns. Shells are seen .to fall and explode, wreoking buildinga whose walls topple and fall, crushing -villagers and soldiers. The love romance is described as a problem of passion charmingly set and of great intensity. EVERYBODY'S. "Tho Bride of Hate" will conclude tonight. Two on an island is tho theme of "A Gamble in Souls," the Triangle Drama to be shown to-morrow. Tho picture is said to be full of fresh and original touches, and packed with surprising photographic feats. Dorothy Dalton, as a dance hall girl, finds that her irreligion and thoughtlessness fall from her when she is faced with the great facts of human experience. Good of another sort comes to the hero, an evangelist of a rather narrow-minded kind, skilfully portrayed by William Desmond, who has a terrific fight with and whips a villainous intruder upon the island. Billie Burke's now picture is "The Midnight „Riot." "ON DANGEROUS GROUND." A war _ story, "LitUe Comrade," the picturisatiott of which, under the name of "On Dangerous Ground," is being screened at the Empress Theatre to-mor-row, deals with a young American doctor seeking to get out of Germany, and who | finds himself the companion of a young and beautiful French girl, a member of the French Secret Service. After a number of hairbreadth escapes, the two swim the great river dividing Germany from Belgium, but tho ffirl is captured by a German patrol. All ends well, however. Gail Knnc is tho heroino and Carlyle Blaclcwell the hero. THE CHERNIAVSKYS. The three clever voung musicians, .Tan, and Mischel Cherniavsky, never fail to arouse tho highest enthusiasm in their audiences, nnd this accounts for tho.great welcome they rnceivo.upon their return engagements. They aro at present drawing crowded houses wherever they appear. By special request, tho .Cherniavsltyn will give a final recital in the Town Hall this -evening. ■
