AMUSEMENTS.

Till', SKA I.ION” TO-NIGHT

"There -lie blows.” Como and see a v.halo chase in "The Sea Lion, with liohart Hnsworth and a splendid l irsl National east to-ni"ht. A tale of stranded hearts and era si line seas. A vstaway girl on a deserted island in the Pacific caught by a half mad captain of a u haling vessel who hated all women because of what he believed about his wife. Crowded with action. You can feel ti e spray on your cheeks a, you watch. The ratlin" storm, the mutiny, the wonderful rescue through the breakers, the kidnapping of the ocean waif, the ship pounding to pieces on the rocks. A tremendous out door story. There has never been a letter one. British people have idway-. been lend of stories ol the sea, ai d a splendid example is to he found in ihe "sea 1,i0n,” the First National feature screening at the Princess Theatre to-night, liohart liosworth is the exact typo for this class of role, and as the half crazed skipper of the schooner that "sails the Seven Seas” is a triumphant succe-s. ffis brutality is always redeemed by a line manliness .and he never entirelv even in his worst moments loses the sympathy of the audience. Fine scenes of whaling, shipwreck, a becalmed ship at sen, a rescue through the pounding smT, adorn the story, and the production is a line one from every angle. A I’athc Gazelle, o beautiful Post Xature stu(lv (scenic), and a two-reel comedy will also he shown and prices are as usual fo-nighl.
