AMUSEMENTS.

“WINNING A BRIDE.”— WEDNESDAY.

Itacing stories are always popular, but there is seldom one so well done as the French photoplay to be shown at the Princess Theatre on Wednesday, its title is “Winning a Bride,” and it is taken from the well-known French play entitled “Le Jockov .Disparn.”. The settings are picturesque, showing the luxurious equipment of the great French racecourse*, and the thorough way in which the sport is administered over there The acting is natural and line, the cast consisting of many great names of the Parisian theatres. lAbove all the story is a fine one. 01 course it contains a champion mare, a kidnapped jockey and a young aristocrat who gambles his all. but the treatment is fresh, the action is rapid and convincing and the whole play will he a novelty treat for picture audiences. A Bathe Review, Canadian Industries, and a Comedy completes the programme.

On Thursday Marshall Neilan presents his latest success entitled “The Lotus Eater” starring John Barrymore and supported by Wesley Barry. Anna A. Nilsson and J. Harney Sherry.
