ENTERTAINMENTS.
STRAND PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. “Wagon Tracks/’ a Paramount Artcraft super-feature, starring W. S. Hart and Jane NovaH will be screened to-night. The picture is one of Bill Hart’s best, so don’t fail to see it. He takes the part of the avenger and alone in the desert. One man a coward, one a murderer and the other—gripping them as a vice—the grim avenger of his young brother’s death, and out beyond the “Wagon Tracks" where the sun and the desert meet —the coward broke down. “Curse you Washburn! Why should I suffer too? You killed him, his blood is on your head.” 1 The face of the grim avenger hardened, and far off on the trail a woman was waiting. Good supports. Usual prices. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10. “PRUDENCE ON BROADWAY." Giive-tThomas in her latest Triangle play. “Prudence on Broadway." To the pure all things are pure. Prudence was pure, if mischevious, and she was never misunderstood. The young men gathered round her in great numbers—she was so different. She was the little ewe lamb that painlessly removed the fangs of the wolves as they were about to devour. “And does, thy wife not understand thee ?’’ asked Prudence of the old would-be heart smasher, when he laid siege to her heart. Prudence was very simple. Prudence was very demure, but she made a shining member of the society of seekers of good times. Prudence says:—‘l like not the present brazen' style of dress; my grandmother’s was better, although shorter at both ends.” Also “The Vanishing Dagger," No. 8, and other supports.
