ENTERTAINMENTS.

STRAND THEATRE.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Two big pictures will be screened at the Strand Theatre on Saturday night, and should be the result of a ful house; The sjtory of the first, “What 'Every Woman Wants,” is as follows Every girl, who Js a girl, likes nice clothes, but it is not every girl who can afford them. A girl feels the pinch of the cost of living more ithan a man, and this point is stressed in the Robertson-Cole picture. The beautiful flaxen-haired Grace Darmond, as the principal exponent of the present day girl’s prolem, is the star. Feminine eyes will be gratified by the display of fashion’s frippereies that are employed as argument in working oujt the theme of the story, lavish production is a feature of the picture, no expense having been spared in making it a success optically as well as dramatically. ' l \ . “The Virgin of Stamboul,” the second, big picjture, is a fine drama. The story is: Sari, a beggar girl on the streets of Coistantinople, enters the Aya Sophia Mosque, where women are forbidden, to cleanse her soul. She has attracted the attention of Capt. Pemberton, an American soldier of fortune commanding the Black Horse Troop, who has been warned! to beware of her because her soul is as the : filth in the street. The mosque, also is the secret trysting-place of a young American and the favourite wife of. Achmet Hamid, a powerful sheik. Hamid suspects his wife and waits for her at the mosque, and seeing Sari enter, disguised by a veil and followed by the American, the sheik plunges a dagger in his back. But see the developments !
