McLEAN’S PICTURES.

“THE HOPEI CHEST” TO-NIGHT. To-night’s attraction is “The Hope Chest,” an exceedingly good picture featuring the dainty artist Dorothy Gish as the little ragtime kidder. The young wife was known in her father-in-law’s fibmc as a distant relative. The habit- ' ual guest fell in love with her, as he did with every pretty woman he met. The n to make matters worse she was seen in his arms—certainly no fault of hers. “Don’t I have a say in this marriage business ? Of course, I am only your husband.” Also a great Max Sennett comedy, a huge laughter-maker. Mr McLean also has pleasure in announcing the following programmes : Wednesday— No pictures. Thursday (’Xmas night),—“The judgment Of.” Friday, (Boxing night),—“Don’t Orange Your Husband.” Saturday—No pictures.

Monday,—The special star - picture, “Sporting Life.”

MONDAY NEXT. “SPORTING LIFE.” Mr McLean presents a great sporting melodrama on Monday next. Briefly, “Sporting Life” is the story of the love of the young Earl of Woodstock, for Norah Cavanagh, daughter of his trainer. The young Earl has previously become involved in the meshes of. an unscrupulous 'woman, Olive de Carteret, who, with her husband, Marlet de Carteret, has been endeavouring to get possession of the prize Woodstock racehorse, Lady Love, the Derby favourite. As a result of their machinations, the young iEarl, in order to save money, -becomes involved in a big prize- fight before the National Sporting Club, and is forced to take the place of a drugged pugilist. The nobleman wins the battle, later captures the Derby, and wins pretty little Norah. Special prices 2s Id all over the house, children half price.
