ENTERTAINMENTS.

“HEARTS OF OAK.” In response to numerous requests the Premier Players -mil produce “Hearts of Oak” for.the last time in the Premier Hall on Monday evening next in aid of the funds of the Fi an.kfin Technical High School. As an old story bears re-telling, so a good play bears re-seeing, especially when all new scenery will be provided. In addition to the play a fine concert programme will also be put on, making a long evening of thorough enjoyment. ENGLISH PIERROTS. The English Pierrots Company gave their “Bits and Pieces” to a full house in the Strand Theatre on Friday night. The programme submitted was a varied one, and one which met with the approval of all present. 's . STRAND THEATRE. “THE OFF-SHORE PIRATE.” “The Off-shore Pirate,” a Metro special production, starring adorable Viola Dana, comes as the feature attraction at the Strand Theatre tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Opinion in other cities where this picture has been seen, pronounces it a wonderfully acted, convincing bit of work. This is due both to the skill put into its production, and to the fact that it is an adaptation from a Saturday Evening Post story by the well known fiction writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald. “The Off-shore Pirate” is the story of a group of people who adopt desperate measures to save Ardita Farnam, an heiress, from the wiles of a scheming Russian who is after her money. Piratical tactics .in Ardita’s spruce yacht bring about a series of thrilling escapades, ending in a reversal of the intriguer’s hopes, and the ushering in of new ones. Waldemar Young adapted the story, and Dallas M. Fitzgerald directed. John Arnold turned the camera crank, and A. F. Mantz designed the art interiors and effects. Miss Dana is supported by an able cast, including Jack lvlulhall, ‘Edward Jobson and Edward Cecil.
