AMUSEMENTS.

A BIG PARAMOUNT'SPECIAL. TO-NIGHT. To-night at tlie Princess Theatre a big Pa lorn lint Special will he shown entitled "Saturday Night.” A mighty and majestic pageant of superlative beauty! A delirious cycle of gigantic climaxes! A story of fashion, revel and love and the grandest fire and railway rescue scene ever filmed. See Coney Island at the height of its pleasure. See the New York tire brigade in action. See .New York life—its 'pleasures—its pain—its thousand alluring varieties—all played by a brilliant cast. One woman his wife, the other the wife of his friend. Now, when one must he left—which did he really love? It is puny one of the thundering sensations in this, the latest, greatest picture by Cecil B. de -Mille. Greatest in beautiful women—greatest in gowns and settings—greatest in heart-tug—greatest in thrills! The east includes—Leatrico Joy, Conrad Nagel, Edith Roberts. Jack .Mower, Theodore Roberts and Julia Faye. CABARET NIGHT. Last evening was the initiation of Cabaret night at the .Soldiers’ i.-li, when the novel occasion passed off successfully. Mr Bonetti’s orchestra consisting of pianist, Miss I’ascce; violin Mr Bonetti (leader); cornet, Air Christiansen; clarionet, Mr Clark; drums etc., Air K. Goodfellow, supplied splendid music, much of which was new entirely here. The floor was in particularly good order and patrons thus had a very enjoyable night’s dancing. Supper was served in the annexe for a small charge, and the lounge was patronised liberally, the supper arrangements being in the hands of the ladies committee of the It.S.A.
