>Vf)R I.B’S ‘PICTURES

■'ln the Glare of the Light?. ’ the star featiua* now being presented, at the World's Pictures, is one of the finest dramatic subjects vet presented to local audiences. The theory of the plot is one tliat„ appeals to all classes, covering as it does such a wide rang,' in.effects. . Dealing in the main with life on the stage, the story runs through all phases of the routine Of cloud and sunshine that meets those whose profession' is lacing the footlights. Another phase shows an ambitious man whose daily task is tending special machinery in a.large smelting works,” and during the action of tlit' play some scenes of real educational value are produced showing modern methods of smelting ore, one in particular worth special notice being a patent where the molten metal runs into an endless chain of moulds which, automatically wool the ingots, which are discharged at the top of tho run. The acting throughout is (well above the average, and with: such a splendid cast as l 1 raneis X .Bushman, Lillian Drew, Lester Cuueo. Beverly Bayne, and Bryant Washburn, something out of the ordinary is to be exploited, and the audience were not disappointed. “Broncho and. the Bandit" is a .photoplay which fully suits G. M. Anderson’s style, and won great favor. The comedies are all good, and laughter reigned loud and long at ‘'Slim s. A\ oddivg” and ‘A Political Moss.” A good “War Budget” helped to make up a firstclass programme. On .Friday next Miss Grace Canard (Lucille Love) and Francis Ford (Hugo Loubeouc) the popular leads in the Lucille Love serial are appearing in, a Gold Seal feature.

OPERA HOUSE PICTURES. The seventh episode of “Adventures of Katlilyn” was screened at’ the Opera House last evening. This number is crammed with incident and real humor and interest, sentiment being cleverly introduced into scenes in which wild animals figure sensationally A splendid star feature, “The Barrier of Flames,” is exceptionally good, and features a cleverly trained collie. The little daughter of a mayor in an American town wanders away and gets lost. She is found by a political boss, who holds her as hostage till certain bills arc signed. The house where the little girl is kept catcher, fire, and Shop, a remarkably clever and lovable collie, saves her life. Tho connecting episodes of the play finely constructed and depicted. Roscoe Arbuckle causes roars of laughter in the fine Keystone comedy I ‘Hatty’s Magic Pants,” while the latest War Budget contains interesting news from all parts. A comedy by the Vitagraph Company, “Hishermau Kate,” is very humorous; Kate thinks because a friend of hers has some luck at fishing that she- will go forth and do likewise, oho blames what happened on the day bein'*- Friday, and the date ’the thirteenth. This attractive programme will be screened again tins evening..
