AMUSEMENTS.

RUDOLPH VALENTINO MONDAY. A colossal emotional drama entitled “Stolen Moments’’ with, Rudolph. Valentino as its handsome villian will he the star attraction at the Princess Theatre on Monday next. He is ably supported in this fino picture by Marguerite Namara, who is famous l'or her gorgeous voice and surpassing beauty. When a lovely woman stoops to folly And learns too late that men betray, What hope can crush her melancholy!' What hope can brush her tears away 1 No expense has been spared by the producers in giving the story elaborate and suitable presentation. A girlish indiscretion may often bring a train of unhappiness and misery, and this is well exemplified in “Stolen Moments,” the drama starring Rudolph Valentino and Marguerite Namara. A fine supporting series will also bo shown and prices are as usual. li.S.A. MINSTRELS.
