ENTERTAINMENTS

KING’S THEATRE. The brilliance and luxury of the Parisian actress. Gaby Deelys, is exemplified in “The God of Luck,” which heads the eun-ent programme at the King's ‘theatre. Her personality, her daring, her dancing, and her dresses, combined with wonderful scenes and photography and a plot full of human touches, makes the picture an outstanding one. Trie screening of the drama is accompanied by special music arranged for the King's orchestra, and is preceded by a dance prologue, in which Ray Chrichton and Kathleen O'Brien demonstrate some ot the most favoured of Gaby Desly's dances. A domestic comedy, “After the Bawl,” shows Air. and Airs. Carter de .Haven in one of their humorous domestic absurdities, in which a talented pair ci babies are responsible for some fine fun. EVERYBODY’S THEATRE. The fascinating Vitagraph picture-play, "The Midnight Bride," which is having A most successful run at Everybodyb Theatre. As presented by Miss Gladys Leslie, the heroine of the drama, Jeanm. Sterling, impulsive, trusting, and unsophisticated, is a most lovable eharnctei. Toe story is unusual, but it culminates in the heroine discovering true love, lifter floundering in the depths of despair. The play, which is splendidly produced and acted, contrasts with telling force the glamour and excitement of Broadway s -night life with the happy peace send calm of a country home, vim the sensuous dancing of New York’s smart set, contrasted with the graceful Grecian dancing of a girls’ high school, the use and the abuse of wealth, and the successful combating ot brute strength by the spiritual power of ,>• pure love. The supporting items include nn excellent topical gazette and a very laughable comedy, “After tb« Bawl.” EMPRESS THEATRE. “The Third Generation," the star attraction at the Empress Theatre, features a strong combination in Malilon Hamilton and Betty Blythe. Th? scion of the aristocracy, played by Malilon Hamilton, has to face hard toil mainly ' through the folishness and love of luxury of his pretty' wife, Betty Blythe, but nevertheless she proves herself a true woman when adversity overtakes her and her husband “disappears” that his insurance may provide for wife and child. He, however, makes another fortune by hard work, and returns just in time to see his wife married to another man. /'THE SQUAW MAN.” Lovers of moving pictures are to have the pleasure of witnessing Cecil H. de Mille’s great Paramount-Artcraft attraction, “The Squaw man." This powerful drama of human passion and lite at its best and worst is to be screened at the Grand Opera House for six nights, commencing to-night. Of the screen adaption a critic wrote: —“Into an appealing photo-play of love and sorrow there is introduced an element of faith- that ia universal in its reach and power, into «. story of love and broken dreams has been placed one redeeming trait in life — the pure white light *'f faith. You maycry at this picture, yet, when it is finished, you will remember ‘The Squaw Alan’ as the mightiest story of human passion and life that the screen has ever shown.” The cast includes Miss Katherine MacDonald (said to be tire most beautiful woman on the American stage), Elliott Dexter, Ann Little, Theodore Roberts, Jack Holt. Tully Ma.r.Jhall, and Monte Blue. A high-class orcuestra of ten instrumentalists will play a specially selected programme o' music. The box plan is at the Bristol.
